You might be able to sort out some sort of deal with them if you but a load at once. Or just split it up and buy groups of 10 at a time. If its a one of lfs not a chain theres more chance of them doing a deal with you for them.

ill get my new tank ordered and setup first, then ill start talkin to lfs about deals, maybe get a deal on a discus aswell while im there, jus to make it 11 instead of 10...lol

 

[kizno1]

Haha. sounds like a plan

 

[stephen.h89]

do u kno any1 that has had dealings with http/www.wholesale-tropical-fish.co.uk/price_list.htm, i am trying to find out if they deliver to the public

Sorry for being nosy but how do you plan on buying that size tank, the necessary equipment and all the fish if your signature post of a 140l marine tank was canceled due to "lack of funds"? Just curious.

 

[stephen.h89]

the marine project was cancelled because i could not afford all the marine equipment, as of monday my funds have been sorted out so i started looking at what i need to do to get my marine setup and decided i would go with discus instead

"VickiandKev" have an account with this wholesaler, based in Fareham, just down the road from me (where my Squirrel Loaches came from). They do regular trips from London to Fareham, get in touch with them to see when they are next going,

You went for Discus over marine Eh?

 

[stephen.h89]

yh, i kno discus are more work but i actually think they look better, even tho my tank will be marine ready as i will still have a sump on it for extra volume and will probably have a constant water change run off an RO system if that would be enough water change for discus, i would have 100gpd RO kit so would prob be a 50gpd water change.

 

[stephen.h89]

what would be better, 4'L x 3'W x 2'D or 6'L x 2'W x 2'D, they both have a 12' square footprint but the 6' is 1 litre more in volume.

Well, it all depends on what you like! I personally fail to see the appeal for Discus, and even the recent influx of posts about them have not even slightly swayed my opinion I personally do not feel they are worth all the extra work - even more than marine - but that's just my opinion and no baring on anyone elses

This is for Discus? I think they'd prefer the extra length. I think with Sevs/Oscars etc they would prefer the width as they are such chunky fish, so like the turning room. I don't think D get chunky though, so would probably pick the extra length if they could
