Anyone wanting to get rid of a small tank?

[Heiko]

Hey all,

Was thinking about trying to get hold of a second tank so i can expand my fish empire. The only thing is i spent all my cash on my first tank and cant afford the same again. However i thought id post here and see if anyone was wanting to get rid off a small tank(10-15g).

The only problem is i live in the United Kingdom and i relise most of u guys are american. But i wondered if it would be worth making an inquiery so i did.

Thnx

Try your local classified ads. A brand new US 10G costs about 5.5GBP. Shipping would probably cost way more than that.

belfast
birmingham
cardiff
dublin
edinburgh
glasgow
london
manchester

Don't know if you make it to any of the above places in the UK, but they all have a local Craigslist, and there are always people getting out of the hobby or moving and selling their tanks for cheap. I didn't see one for Isle of Man though.

Ye its a bummer, small island so only 2 dealers (both of whom are pretty expensive). i just thought id giv it a try see what everyone sain. U never kno i might hav got lucky.

Thanks anyway,

P.s i wass just wondering what would be the price of a 20g tank with heater,filter etc in the US oh and a stand. I paid 140GBP for mine thats without the fish, plants and gravel.

$80-140 US, yikes! 140 pounds sterling!..what exactly did you get? brand and model wise...

My tank is 70litre (aroud 20g) Jewel Record 70. Im not totally sure what all the stats are for the heater and filter etc. But do have a link showing the same tank just from a different place.

I forgot to mention th £140 was including the stand which was £30. I got mine from my local pet shop before i new anything.

Here it is: http://www.theaquariumshop.co.uk/ish...shopscr48.html

Thats why i am trying to get a smaller tank shipped over from the US. If you know of any way i could get a fully kitted out 10g please let me know. You see as im a student i cant spen £140 a time on tanks.

What are the TV arials your talking about greenmagi?
