Thanks! Sorry I'm still trying to figure out how to use this website. I was hoping to get a 30 gallon tank, or something around that size. I love the ELOS look but it's very expensive. Any suggestions?

Our Marketplace page is a great source for buying a tank. Often you can find one that comes as a 'package' with almost all you need to get started!

There is a tab for this near the top of the home page on the left side.

What size tank are you considering?

Are you talking new or used. If used is ok then just keep your eyes on the for sale forum. Don't rush it. Try to get all that you want. Usually a full packaage comes with a nice discount. Just make sure you know what it would cost new so you can decide what a good price is.

Also, make sure you now what you're getting with the set up and the life expectancy of those items - much like a boat or used car, a used tank will be working when you buy it, but when items fail over time, the cost to replace may be more than what it would have cost to buy new as a package.

Sometimes, knowing what you have new is better than not knowing and finding out the hard way. Only way to avoid this it to learn as much about systems and their ways of working before hand so that if you buy used, you'll know what to expect over time and where your liabilities may be.

Good luck with your purchase and welcome to MR

What they said. Great deals to be found here if you aren't in a rush. I've only been into this addiction for two months and have met tons of great people on here. I want the elos too. Someone has one for ~500 on here w/o sump. There's a 24 or 28 nano cube new for 200 as well. Just click on the for sale link on the left then search on the right. Good luck

Thread moved to the WANT TO BUY forum so that the vendors and members can offer their items without being in violation of the site rules. The best place to get a tank is right here at Manhattan Reefs.
