If all the equipment looks good and the cichlids look healthy, go for it!I found a 70g aquarium with light, canister filter, plants, co2 tank, cichlids and an additional 10g tank with shrimp for $350. Should i go for it?
jetajockey said:Depends on the equipment and how everything looks. What kind of cichlids? What kind of co2 setup? What kind of lighting? What model canister?
Tcal01 said:The light is a 24in t5 with two 24 Watt 10000k bulbs. IM not sure how used they are and i just inquired about the cichlids and co2.
CaliO said:IMO that too much money... I just grabbed a 75g with fluval 405 filter with stand for $130. And cichlids are fairly cheap. And IDK anything about co2 but I know I could get a tank, it filled and probly fittings for less than $100.
Then you will mostly have to replace the bulbs, so that's another $18 each. And why is there an external ballast for T5 lighting??
Tcal01 said:IM nit sure about the light. I know co2 is pretty expensive. The co2 regulator is an aquatek dual gauge. The tank looks like its a 50lb
CaliO said:Co2 is Not that exspensive. I think last time I checked at hydroponics store a tank (dont know the weight) but tank was about the size of a large fire hydron and cost was around $75
Really? I have seen systems in like the Dr. Foster's and Smith magazine for like 300.
Tcal01 said:OK guys i really appreciate it cuz i was seriously considering getting this. Its still too expensive even with the additional 10g with shrimp? There are a bunch of plants included with both tanks too
