Re: ok guys my 10 gal set up


very true but not too many arkansans post anything on there if they do its about livestock. im constantly checkin my classifieds for tanks but when i do come across something good they want 900 to 1500 for it being used. and half the time its not really big enough. sometimes i feel like its a lost cause.

I would also try and get one used. About two more weeks and I'll have my 195g tank, stand, and 3 400w mh retrofits for $650. Not too bad!

Along with cragislist, join a local fish forum or club. That's where I'm buying my stuff from.
