Starting An Aquarium

[louis75]

Hey i would like to know if anyone can recommend a good company that sells reasonably-priced aquarium kits. I have never had an aquarium and would also like any advice people could offer.

I got my aquarium from my local fish shop, its a good way to buy your first aquarium as you can always go back and ask the staff for tips and information later. Plus you can always haggle to try and get the price down . However, if you would prefer to go online I would have a look at Seapets (they also have stores dotted around the country). They have a lot of aquariums and all at a reasonable price I think. You can also get the essentials thrown in on some of the aquariums like gravel and background etc. Hope that helps.

Have a read of some of the articles in the beginner's resource centre (especially the ones on cycling). There's a link to it in my sig.
