Aquarium Advice Newbie
I am just starting to consider getting in the hobby and have been doing a lot of research trying to learn as much as I can. As everyone knows, this is an intimidating thing to start with. I've been looking around at equipment for some time now and I stumbled on to what seems like a great deal (a guess that's a red flag) on a 1 year old used setup. Here's what I found:
50 Gal Uniquarium
South Coast Aquarium Stand/canopy
JBJ Arctica Titanium Chiller DBA-075 1/10HP
UV Sterilizers (don't know make/model)
Reo pump (with spare duplicate pump)
Skimmer (don't know make/model)
Heater (don't know make/model)
Lights (don't know make/model)
2+ inches of live sand
A pile of accessories (chemicals, testing supplies, lots of goodies)
- ALL FOR $850
I know some folks aren't fans of the Uniquarium, but I was thinking that for a complete dope like myself, it may be somewhat "aquariums for dummies".
I have a 7 year old daughter so my end goal will to be to basically recreate "Nemo" in a reef tank.
Any thoughts/advise on this used package I am considering would be greatly appreciated.
