Hi everybody.
I have a brackish 55g tank. It and it's accompanying eheim filter are 15+ years old. We're moving to a house so I figure it's time to get a new tank. The current tank gets salt creep all over the lid, I'm hoping some of this is due to the age of the tank....
anyway - we found a JEBO 60g tank with everything for $400. It looks really nice... it seems solidly built so hopefully salt creep would be less of an issue.....but the low price gives me pause.
You get what you pay for right? I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these all-in-one hood setups. I am not in any way a tinkerer. I just have an assortment of puffers and monos and archers and scats and they all have lived quite happily in this old tank for years... even though I neglect them so! So doing mods isn't really something to worry about.
anyway - if it works it works - it would be great - as changing the filter would take only a few moments. As it is now, water goes all over the place and it's just a mess.... so my poor fish rarely get a proper water change (and like I said, they've all lived loooooong lives... some of which I attribute to not screwing around with their water often)...
Well I just blab and blab... any advice appreciated. I do LOVE my brackish tank. We used to have eels. A moray and a snowflak eel. It was the coolest tank ever.... but when they each passed we couldn't bear to get any more - they're like little puppy dogs! ....
well thanks for surviving my awful first post.
