That refractometer was a good price too...

...I'm not a stalker, there was a thread about then in the marine section

Thanks very chuffed with my latest purchases. Can't wait to get the refractometer home and play with it *) as sad as it sounds - but I'm looking forward to my project - hence the little tanks bought).

Btw. CFC - probably a very awkward size for your large fish (as it's only 2ft wide) but at 7' x 3' x 2' @ 315 US gallons and currently listed at £1.20 this seems pretty amazing (though of course who know what the reserve is, but it is a charity shop).

Ginormous tank

Are you just using it for the shrimp, or thinking of joining us in the Nano Reef section?

Who knows what that 16 gallon can become
Very tempting indeed and I've been playing with the idea for a long time. Funds (and time) are issues though. The three (now four) tanks are already keeping me on my toes and I know full well that stepping into Marine will require even more dedication and time. Perhaps when I get bored of the shrimp breeding programme

Hello All

I am a member of the yahoo group called "freecycling" a bit like e-bay but where peeps give their stuff away for free (cos they need the room), anyway, the Southampton group always has lots of fish stuff to be had. I recommend joining the group nearest to you and keeping you eyes open for a fishkeepers freebie!

Far out Bloozoo. I had to do a quick "in head" currency exchange, but it sounds like you did great. I'm wondering about shipping them though, how much, and I hope they make it okay. I've always found garage sales to be the best place to pick up cheap bargains. $2 or $3 for a 10 gallon setup is average.

Thank blackguppy the fancy schmansy bow front 10 gallon was $35 (RRP $88) and the 16 gallon was $8.70 (hood, light & filter included!).

I'm going to pick them up (not far from me) so no shipping / postage involved

(Keep in mind everything is almost twice the price than in the USA)
