Newbie Looking For His First Tank

[nikolarun]

Hi All,
I would like to buy a tank for my girlfriend who is moving over in the next couple of months.
She already has a tank of about 70L so I am looking to get something similar.
I've read all the newbie posts and do/don'ts.
 
I've stumbled upon this 90L tank http/www.swelluk.com/aquarium/fish-tanks-404/41cm-79cm-aquariums-1870/aquael-econoline-70-bow-fronted-aquarium-kit-352280.html
Can you please let me know if this is an OK tank? Please recommend any others you might see fit.
 
Ideally I would like to get it prepped ( cycled ) in the next couple of months so we can buy some topical fish together.
She is quite fond of catfish ( she has one at the moment ) and passage fish as well.
 
Budget is max £100 for the tank.

Regards
Nick

I'm not sure about the euro conversion rates but I know at least at the Petco's here (California, USA) you can get a 29g aqueon aquarium kit (comes with filter, heater, lid, and basic flourecent lighting for $60 or way under budget since I think it's like $1.30 for 1£ so that's like 46£ + tax. It would be a basic rectangular tank. And 29g is around 110L or more than you want. If you are going for bigger is better than I don't know about prices there again but with that budget here, you would be able to get a nice standard 55g (~200L) rectangular tank.

Noticed that SwellUk are out of stock - found one on http/www.warehouse-aquatics.co.uk/aquael-econoline-70-aquarium-bow-front.html
Have never used one so can't comment on what they are like - what sort of tank does your girlfriend have?

Thanks for the replies.
I've now found it cheaper. http/www.rocketaquatics.co.uk/aquael-econoline-tropical-aquarium-p-4277.html
I have no idea what she has, something rectangular nothing special. I will try and find out.
 
Prices in the US seem a lot cheaper than in the UK.  £80 = $120
