Howdy! As some of you are aware my 4ft tank gave up on me the other day, the central strut collapsed and the front bowed out by 15mm so im doing away with it and spoiling myself to a new one.
The problem is i already have brand new lighting and a brand new filter and most aquariums and stands seem to come with them!
Either way these are the ones i have narrowed it down to...
Fluval Roma 240 with stand, lights, cannester filter for £450
jewel rio 240 with stand lights filter ect... £430
All Pond Solutions cabinet and tank 285l comes with lights and filter but they can do a package without £499
and finally the oddball, this would be a second hand unit, but once again with lighting cabinet and filter £320
fluval osaka 320l
Now for the concerns....... i really like open topped tanks and im assuming the roma and the rio have braces in the middle preventing you from using it without the hood? and also im paying fo the lighting and filtration thats kinda not needed.
i am serverly edging towards the all pond solutions one, looks like a sturdy beautiful piece of kit, and they will knock money off if i want it without the lights and filtration
at the end of the day i would be happy with just a 4ft tank, but so far the cheapest i have found is 150 in delivery and that has a center brace and euro brace so looks very cluttered. and once i price up the roma stand with it its pushing £300......
its going on the credit card so money is not much of an issue, but i would like to ideally keep it under the 500 mark.
Im also open to ideas!
cheers, craig.
