kernel gadaffi Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 My daughter has been hinting for a while to get a tank set up, it's almost 20 years since I kept tropical fish and things have moved on a great deal. I've looked at some of the "ready to go" tanks and wonder if they are worth it, my old set up had the exterior pump and that's the way I'd prefer to go, can anyone point me in the right direction please.

kyska Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Internal 'stack' filters are amazing now. i wouldn't be concerned, they just need managing in a different way. They have many attributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I've a shop set up 100ltr with internal filters. Easy to maintain and tbh cheap. Its not a pets at home job but a local garden center and gravel, tank, filter, heater and stand £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clakk Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Go on Gumtree or freeadds ,my 100 litre tank cost 30 quid .Pump was 20 from evilbay and the filters in the pump from the Range .The Range actually have a good selection of pumps tanks/feed far cheaper than most "aquatic specialists" imho.Even had the stand from gumtree ,there,s always some one getting out of fish due to downsize ,moving etc and as nice as new is 2nd hand is far cheaper .Atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernel gadaffi Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) I was talking to a girl I know this afternoon and she has just bought a new 1500x600x400mm tank and has given me her old one, she's going to strip it down, take out what she's going to need and then I'm laughing. Depending on what she keeps, will obviously have to be bought, but, there's plenty of options out there. Thanks all.
