£400 without cabinet £892 with cabinet... Good thing i was going to use my own cabinet lol. Still quite steep though. Anywere else to compare the price to? Bloke on ebay would do a 6x2x2 for £220.

to be fair thats a great price for an 8ft tank. can't see you getting cheaper new

Was going to say the same! Why did i not know custom tanks are cheaper than a LFS?!! You could just about get youself a 4ft with a nice stand for that and my local.

Am i the only idiot that didnt know this?!

lighting and filtration are extra cost but i agree

I use cheap LED's of ebay for lighting my tanks up but filtering is very true... Pair of FX5's will cost some lol. Besides all these factors im still looking for a tank! Lol.

nice 1 lol. That really made me chuckle. They used to run off the same sump.. Maybe i could just plumb them together. Doesnt give me the extra swim room or any room new residents lmao.

At the end of the day, if you have the space and the money, an 8ft has got to be something to behold!

Definatly worth a look cheers. Was thinking of a plane scape (like my other tanks..) just sand and a couple small rocks and maybe a piece of wood. My tiger oscar doesnt like wood however... Kept trying to put it through the front of the tank so now he has a bare tank
