I like the look of it; the silver frame is very pretty. As long as it doesn't leak, I wouldn't mine cleaning it up for £20. It is about 47 US gallons.

i think it is pretty decent for £20 too, the only worry for me is the light wire im not sure if you can see it but it looks like the wire is snapped and has no plug on it! i dunno how i would go about fixing it

Wiring a new plug is easy; you need to check the DIY section or pick up a book. Also new lighting can be wired in yourself too. Might be worth it, depending on what's already there.

i like the frame an the plugs easy just remember
bRown =RIGHT its in the name
bLue = LEFT its in the name again

fish wise you have to know what you want to keep first and before you get fish you have to cycle it first

i was just thinking the wire for the light isn't very long, i know its easy to wire a plug but is there any way of maybe extending the wire? just thinking the wire is a bit on the short side,

 

[bae1994]

well id get aconnector thats enclosed connector easy just blue to blue and brown to brown just use a new piece of wire
