Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi, I am an Australian now living in Des Moines Iowa. Back in Oz I had a nice setup. Here I don't have anything. Locally there isnt a lot on offer in the mid price range ($200 or so). Ideally Id like a nice big 4 foot tank and stand, however I am looking to compromise for budgets sake!
This leads me to what I found today. Des Moines has 2-3 local aquariums and Petco and Walmart. It looks like Walmart has the best deal on a sizable tank. A kit that includes lighting filtration and the tank for $160 and then a stand for $70. All up justifiable from a money perspective.
Of course I don't have all my nice equipment which is still in Oz running in my parents place. I just want to create something nice to look at in my office, and maybe breed something so my daughter can experience it all. She is three and loves fish.
Now my question is "Is the Walmart solution a good one?"
Any feedback or alternatives ar appreciated.
Thanks
Nathan
