A 25 might be good enough for a breeding pair of angels and nothing else.

I want to set up a 5 gal low tech planted tank for a betta. I have a friend with a 5 gal tank that he is not using, and said I could have it.. but it is tank only, so I would need a glass top, filter and light. I'm trying to price out components as opposed to buying an all in one- like...

What size tank is your 703B on? I'm also trying to figure out the best filter for my $$ for a tank build.

Same problem. I have been looking for a 75 gal for some time, while I keep finding used 90 gal tanks for great prices- same footprint but deeper. I already have a 56 column tank and don't want a deep tank again! It's hard to maintain a deep tank when you are short!

Why are there so few 60" tanks? I just bought one used, - 100gal seaclear acrylic tank. The dimensions are 60"L x18w x20h. I think those are great dimensions to work with. I'm amazed there aren't more tanks this size.

Does anyone know anything about old SeaClear acrylic tanks? I found a used 100 gallon SeaClear and stand for $150. The owner says it is about 15 years old. I haven't gone to see it yet, but it doesn't look like the seaclear II with the built in wet dry filter. He said it had an under gravel...

I have been looking for a good price on a used 75 for awhile, and haven't been able to find one. I did come across a 90 for a very good price.. but I am concerned about the height. I plan to do a fresh water planted tank, and I am short.. 5'2". How hard is it to maintain a 90 when you can...

My son has been begging for a turtle for his 11th birthday. I am not a big fan, as I know I will most likely end up taking care of it. I looked into turtles, and most require a huge tank. My 11 year old is not getting my 125 gallon... but it looks like a mud turtle doesn't get as big, and...

Just got a response from someone selling a 75 for $50. Maybe some of your luck rubbed off. Hopefully it is in good shape.

me too! I have been searching for a reasonably priced used 75 for about a month now with no luck.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that had a poor neglected tank. Sometimes life throws stuff at you. I am also going to get back into the hobby. Can I get a better look at your light fixture? Looks like you hooked 2 together? I am hoping to start a 75 planted soon.

Which 5 gallon tank did you use? My 7 year old daughter wants her first tank. I was thinking about setting up something like this for her.

Beautiful tank!

I will admit I have major multi tank syndrome. We just moved. I don't have room for a BIG tank at my new place. I'm selling my 125gal SW tank and hoping to get a 75, but may settle for a 55 for a rainbowfish tank. I may be able to fit one more tank in corner.. I really like Angels, but...

Only one Petco in the state got 75's in on the sale last month- only 2, and they sold out immediately! I may wait till the next sale, though...

I really want a 75 gallon, but they aren't so easy to find. There is someone selling a 90 gallon in a local fish club. .. but I'm worried it would be too tall. I'm only 5'2". Even with a step stool I wonder if I would be all the way to my shoulder in the water to aquascape/clean/etc.

That is what I was thinking. Looks like a nice tank. Maybe $250-300 MAX with the extras-- but I looked up the extras and the red sea CO2 reactor is discontinued and reviews show it as junk. The ehiem filter is an older model, also discontinued. The bags of substrate would be good to have...

I saw this ad on craigslist- Used oceanic 75 gal tank and stand with a bunch of extras for $550. I can find a 75 gal tank for a lower price, but the extras look good. Oceanic was supposedly a good brand, but now discontinued, so the tank may be older. Hard to find much info... ?

I've been told rainbows require at least a 4 foot tank. 40b is a great size, though! Would rainbows be cramped in a 55? 55 has it's advantages too- I don't need to buy a bigger filter, and it is easier to clean! ... I just don't want to get it all set up and realize I should have gone...

I have a 55 gallon stand, filter and I picked up a 55 gallon at the petco $1 gallon sale, but I keep hearing that you can do so much more with a 75 gallon. I want to do a low tech planted with rainbowfish (maybe 6?), cory's (5?) and a schooling tetra. So... my dilemma- I have a couple...

That is pretty clever! My tank is in the downstairs family room- also known as the "nerd cave" (They are both comic book/star wars "nerds") Where my 14 and 11 year old boys hang out. I think they would probably forget and throw trash on top of it. :lol:

I have a 55 gallon fish tank stand that does not fit a canister filter under. It has a shelf and braces in the way. So.. if you can't hide a canister in your stand, what are some creative ways to hide it? I'm thinking maybe a cart or small end table beside the tank? If you have something...

Thanks! That is great! I have everything I need for a 55, but if I bought a 75 I'd need a new stand, better filter, etc.. For filtration - I have a fluval 306 canister, and an aquaclear 70. I may run both, or just the canister...

I just picked up a 55 gallon at the Petco $1/gallon sale. My plan was for a low tech planted tank, with easy plants. 2 gold dust mollies (currently in my daughter's 5 gal tank, but I know they will outgrow it) 6 rainbow fish (would it be OK to mix 3 boesmani and 3 turquoise?) 6 of a...

So, if I was to get a 55- what could I stock with? I'm thinking a group of maybe 5 corys a tetra for the schooling movement- maybe 6 neons? how many rainbows? would I be limited to 5 or 6?
