Sorry got nothing spare but have you looked at ebay to buy your set-up? Second hand prices are so cheap. I paid £40 for a full Juwel 120ltr set-up.

 

[Little Guppie]

Ohh nice the thing is i have only about a £5 so far! I just need a few bits to get me going

 

[Little Guppie]

Well to be honest i have £25 in total.

Also why not try local charity shops or your local recycling drop off. Our local one has a shop attached where they sell off unwanted items. My friend picked up a decent sized tank for £20.00 and it came complete with hood and lights.

 

[Little Guppie]

I dont have any of that near me?

Where are you based?

Im sure if we knew that some local members might have the odd bit of equipment lying around spare that they could offer to get you setup!

Very good call... Its amazing what sort of items people will give away for nothing on freecycle. Just sort yourself out with a yahoo email account and then join your local town/city group

just do what i do i get it one piece
at a time at the moment i want to set
two tanks up i now have the tanks now
its just getting the other bits all together
which i am doing slowly i look in secondhand shops
charity shops the local tip and fish keeping buddies
auctions it just takes a bit of time if i have not so much
