this is the 65 gallon tank i could get for 75 bucks

I have the following setup for sale. 65 gallon reef ready saltwater tank (36" x 18" x 24"). Tank is drilled once in the rear pane for a closed loop. Comes with a white stand (doors need painted). Also included: custom acrylic sump, Iwaki return pump, Mag pump for closed loop, and a 4 x 96 watt power complact light fixture (needs new legs). Some of the plumbing needs re-done








ok thats the 65 gallon or should i just get a brand new 29 gallon hqi bio cube please tell me what i should do!!

 

I would go with the 65 if you feel you can handle it, which isn't that hard with biopellets and a skimmers now adays.

anyone can plumb a tank.

 

no competition IMO

The bigger the better, far more tolerance on parameters and they dot fill up as quickly
as smaller ones do

thats a deal and a steal on the 65g!!!

what part of PA are you from?

 

Get the 65,you can learn all you need and get advise on set up by reading here.If you decided to go with the 29,in not much time you would probably wish you had a larger tank.

 

Just like Steve said the bigger the better. Go with the 65

 

i live in lancaster pa my the store that fish place you probley herd of it

 

Definitely go with the 65. That's a good deal & doing plumbing + the sump shouldn't be too difficult. If you have questions, just ask. I have a 29g. I only have one fish in it, but my stocking list makes me wish I had a bigger tank.

I have found out that a 29g reef will cost about $550(living in OH at least) & a 75g reef will cost somewhere b/w $1000-13000(dependent upon the lighting mainly).

 

Where in Northeast Ohio? I live in Akron, Ive been waiting to run into someone who lives around my area on this forum.
