Reefer to be! Have some questions!

I have 2 50 breeders (bearded dragon tanks) and this would make a great aquarium.

I don’t like building tanks (they scare me)... I would only do it if you know exactly what to do (tank size, braces (I fink I speller dat rigtes), glass thickness, glue etc.).

yea ive been checking a lot of classified ads everywhere

It really all depends what you are looking for. And aquarium is just a bucket or water, the equipment and livestock make it what it is. You just have to be realistic. You cannot expect to keep a lot of fish in a small tank. A small tank should emphasize a single fish species and carefully chosen nano sized corals. A larger aquarium can have several different fish and larger coral. A good sized aquarium will allow a whole new variety of fish and plenty of large coral.

You should sit down and figure out what sort of tank you want and then find the right size. It will be easier that way.

Don't be against buying a new tank.

would that work, is it a tank or a terrarium??

 

[herpencounter]

Garage sales are good places to look (ask them to fill it up if they don’t then walk away).

 

[cindre2000]

50 breeder all the way, do it!

 

[toastii]

hmmm

are you still using these tanks???

(why is it called a breederr--ive seen that a lot of places)

 

[herpencounter]

The 50 breeders??? mine is a terrarium (with a hole in the bottom for cords no water for it lol).
But they make them to hold water to. :lol:

Breeder implies it is longer and wider than other "standard" sizes, and therefore shorter. They are very good for people who are breeding fish where surface area is more important than hight.

 

[herpencounter]

I think it is because they are long and wide and really short (more surface area and I breed my dragons in them lol).

 

[herpencounter]

My gosh I take to long .

 

[toastii]

oooh ok thank you!! i just wanted to know the diffence cuz i noticed a difference in dimension size....

*sigh* maybe i can take my friends bearded dragon tank when it dies....

gosh that thing has been alive forever... its old now/close to death.... has a swollen foot its funny actually (look not situation)

 

[cindre2000]

50 gallon breeder is a really nice size. Go to a pet store and look at it. If you think about going bigger than a 30 that is the way to go.

 

[herpencounter]

They can live 10-12 years easy.

P.S. I know I have 40 foushhhh.

 

[toastii]

maybe my dad will buy me the tank once he sees how dedicated i am to my seahorses! (sry to bring that sore subject up again) hes paying me for every day they live after a week... i can do a week! hahaha. no but im very dedicated to my seahorses..... so m aybe he'll buy me a tank since he gave me the idea of starting another one! :twisted:
