71"x34"x22" Aquarium

[dave_oddballs]

hi i've been shopping around for a bigger tank and i found one at my lfs, it is 6 foot long, 34 inch's wide and 22 inch's high. he said it will be £340, doesn't sound that bad to me but what do you think.
when i try to compare prices of tanks this size, or similar, online they very rarely give price's!
cheers

To me that sound's a very good deal...the person who had my tank built its 5/2/2 and paid 750pounds.....
does it come with stand etc?

 

[dave_oddballs]

nope. just the tank in 10mm and brace's and glass sliders, just as well really as i will be building the stand with blocks.
the blocks are 4 inch wide, there will be support at either end and in the middle, to my calculations thats 3 x the width of one block, 4 inch x3 = 12".
72" - 12" = 60", therefore i should be able to squeeze 2 30" tanks underneith, or if i can get the stank at least 3 foot tall mabe 4 tanks underneith in which i can have a small collection of dwarf channa! sound good??
what size tank do channa barca need? i try to look up info on them but seems pretty hard to come by!
cheers

Poseidon's palace will do that exact specification for £285

Dunno how far they deliver but Boss Aquariums does a 6 x 2 x 2 for £250

Pity you are so far away, you could have my 5*3*2 for less than half that

Sounds about right - but ND Aquatics a call they also do good prices. My tank from them arrived this week - very nice!

 

[Elrohirthehasty]

sounds good! what are you going to stock?

 

[dave_oddballs]

it needs to be more than 2 foot wide as its for rays and arowana. And 5 foot isn't long enough, 6 foot min, and wanted 3 foot wide but 34 inch is good enough!
£285 + delivery, dont think it would get to me for much less than £340! Plus i know the guy at the lfs and he will deliver it free, but i have to take my living room window out to get it in!
Either want the rays and arowana or channa barca, i have a bit more thinking to do!
