Thanks for the reply. Yeah, ill keep looking in CL for a little bit longer, but if i can't find one, the 40 breeder was my original choice, so it won't be that big of a deal.

Yeah i was set on buying a 40gal breeder, same length and width, just less tall. Then i saw someone with the 50 gallon and thought it was much better. Now i can't get it out of my head lol. I'll keep looking online and see if i get lucky. Btw, how reliable are online manufacturers like...

Yeah i should have clarified i wanted glass. Acrylic is too expensive, and ive read that due to the top brace, you dont have much space to put decorations inside. Ive seen tanks of this size online from other hobbiests, so i know they exist. Yeah i guess i can look for a lfs and see if they...

Hey guys, i need a 36 inch long tank to fit into the space i have, and it seems that the 36x18x18 50 gallon is the best choice. My problem is, i cannot find any on local craiglist for the past month, and cannot find any other place that sells one. Does anyone know where i can purchase one? Thanks

So i have a TV stand that used to support my old tube TV, and it's now sitting there empty. Its 32" long by 19" wide. I bought a 40 gallon tank thats 36" long and i was wondering if placing 3, 36" 2x4s over the stand and the tank over the 2x4s would be stable. What do you guys think? Heres a pic

Thanks a lot. I learned something today. Now i can cross one more thing from my parts list. Next stop, find the money! hehe Appreciate all the help, really. You'll see me here again when i have everything set up and start to run into problems.

I like the Catalinaaquarium 30" fixtures. They look like they could fit exactly where the standard lighting that comes with the tank. Only thing, bulbs are 10k. Whereas in fishneedit, i can choose 6.5k bulbs, but i would have to take off the original canopy. Another question, these fixtures...

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but what are PC fixtures? Looking at the catalinaaquariums, those fixtures look like they could be the same size as the original lighting fixtures the tank brings, so i could just replace the fixtures and keep the original canopy, am i wrong? Regarding plants...

Thanks for the reply. Now looking at the purchasing options, which color bulbs should i get? and if white, which color temp would be the best option. Thanks again for the advice.

Wow thanks for the quick reply! I like your suggestion, cheap and very nice looking. Now, do i need to replace the whole top of the tank? or would this lighting fit where the old one goes?

Hey, I recently got hooked into aquarium hobby after reading and watching some videos on youtube, and am currently in the process of researching all the equipment i'll need to begin my very own aquarium. I have a 32 inch long stand, so i was looking into getting a 36 gallon bowfront tank to...
