And to my suprise, it came with substrate (black sand) heater, filter, light, syphon and nets!

For the bargain price of £5.50.

Shrimp ahoy!

Lovely! Great tank for shrimps, they'll love it. Have you got a scape idea in mind?

 

[jojouk]

I have never used rocks in a tank before, so maybe something rocky??? That's as far as I have got so far...

plants? lots of plants? thats a great deal!

In that case, it has to be an Iwagumi scape

It's obviously filthy, and needs a good clean, but more than willing to get my hands dirty for a fiver!

I never find anything good on ebay!

I'm like an addict, I check very other day! Just keep looking, something pops up once in a while

Great bargain, looks like an arcadia arc 35l. I have one myself, cost me £45! It has Tahitian moonsand, I put down a carpet of dwarf hairgrass with normal hairgrass round the sides and make a tree centerpiece from a small piece od driftwood and attached a stash of willow moss. Few java fern and some nice river rocks.Also withe the nice open top I would recommend getting some floating plants, I have a stash of Amazon Frogbit and they look really nice from head height. It is a nice shaped tank and from the shape looks striking from any angle. I house some amanos/RCS and a couple of dwarf puffers in mine.

Is the light that comes with it when bought. I have a little nano 25w heater in it. one thing to note though is that if it is the original filter supplied with it I would use a different one as it is not really up to the job and has a teeny tiny media compartment. I took it out and replaced with a fluval plus 2 (Messy dorf puffers!) and used the original in my ramshorn farm. Once again though, bargain for less than the price of a couple of pints.

I have the 20l version and I paid £30 for it, but it was sparkling clean and came with light, filter and heater. It's now a lovely shrimp tank with black sand, orange stones, bogwood and plants and lots and LOTS of baby shrimp

Yeah that's the baby, an Arcadia Arc, although I'm away at the moment, so can't measure it to work out which size. I quickly took it out the car this morning, and it fits nicely in my gap in the tank stand

Going to get it all cleaned up on Sunday, and start my new project

The other half is not pleased....

Well if it fits perfectly tell the other half it must be fate! ;p
