should I buy it? and heater size

[laur94x]

Seen a tank up for sale near me-
270 litres,
3ft3 long
2ft high
1.5ft wide
With internal filter, spare medias, lights and spare bulbs and some rocks and plants.
£90. Shall I get it? To upgrade my 138 litre.how many gallons is 270 litres?I think I currently have about a 36 gallon, am I right?
Also it doesn't come with a heater, how many watts would I need and roughly what would that cost me?
Thanks

That is same size as my tank I have a 300 watt heater cost £20 thats a good deal for that tank.

 

[laur94x]

Ah only £20? That's much less than I thought so I'd only need a 300 watt? Just waiting to find out if it comes with the stand/cupboard, its on one in the pictures so I hope so. What do you have in your 270 litre?

 

[dannyweir]

At would be a bargain if you got stand aswel I have got a plec 4 neon tetras 2 mollys a platy 3 kribensis 2 gouramis and 3 rainbow sharks at moment but away to get rid of them as there very aggresive when there bigger and cant put any other fish n tank at moment because of them

Yeah would be brilliant if I could get the stand too. Even without its a bargain. Problem is I probably cant get it if it doesn't come with a stand Doesn't seem very long for 270 litres though? :S

 

[laur94x]

Ahh rainbow sharks are beautiful but I've heard they can be very aggressive I really want roseline sharks (not supposed to be as aggressive) but my 138 litre is too small, wonder if I could have them in a 270?

 

[dannyweir]

Oh ok mines is 3 and a half feet long if at helps am not good with measurments lol

 

[dannyweir]

I got told to keep one but have plenty ov hidden places

 

[laur94x]

Ah okay so almost the same haha neither am I, the advert says 101cms I think which google says is 3.3ft lol

 

[dannyweir]

Just checkt in its a bit bigger than mine so should be ok to keep shark in its quite long lol

 

[laur94x]

Oh okay thanks

 

[laur94x]

She said she's selling on a first come first serve basis and has a few people interested. I want it! Lol

 

[dannyweir]
