Hi everyone. I'm looking for a 25 gallon tank on a 200 dollar budget. Is that possible? Also about how much will it cost to get a 25 gallon aquarium. Any ideas on stocking? Thanks, Tyler :good:

do you mean just the aquarium or an aquarium with a fliter,heater,light etc.?

stocking is usaully a personal choice and.. what fish are you interested in?
 
25 is an odd size and will be relatively more expensive than the more popular 29 or even larger. You can look for a used tank to save money. used equipment too. the one place you dont want to skimp is on the livestock- there is no substitute for a healthy fish. My motto is one healthy fish has to be worth at least 3 DOAs.

Also check craig's list for your area- you can often find bargains or even free stuff. If you get a used tank and are paying for it, be sure to ask to see it filled and not leaking before you pay ;-)

IMO that is very easy, but it also depends on location, availability, and what you are willing to do to keep costs low. I could easily do a planted 25 or 30 for $100 or less not counting stocking... it may require patience, and a lot of learning for 1st time tank on the cheap. The tank size you picked though will add some challenge...
 
I meant around 25 gallon sorry! I should have said I want a tank between 20-30 gallons :)
