I like Topless Tanks too LOL

But there are nice T5 pendants too. A couple manufactures make 3' fixtures, but I think the bulb selection now gets limilited. You might be better ogg looking into a MH/T5 combo. theres a bunch out ther. usually house 3 250W MH with T5 suppliments. AND, they look nice too.


Next, and most important question, what is your lighting budget? Good 6' combo run inm the neighbourhood of $1000+

there is also the opportunity for the 125 gallon tank.
here is what the ad says

Standard 125g aquarium, almost a year old. Thick glass, no scratches/chips/cracks. Good seal, never leaked, dimensions 72"x18"x24". comes with a wood stand that is also a year old.

Only problem is one of the glass hoods has some cracks from the heat of the metal halides i was using, it still holds so as long as you dont put any weight on it. The other one just has some of the plastic warped from the heat of the halide but theyre always replaceable. Otherwise everything is in great shape and was bought brand new a year ago

Looking for $450 firm, as low as i can go. I will throw in a Fluval Heater as well. I have 2 metal halide units for sale (2x65w power compact, 1x250w halide)(1x150w halide, 2x39w T5) that i will throw in for $250. Will sell them seperate, $200 for the 250w halide and $125 for the 150w


Oct.9/09- Really need it gone, will throw in a Fluval heater and Lifegard fluidized bed filter in the deal

the 210 gallon is 600# comes with overflow, sump and stand only. not top, lighting ect.

any thoughts on what i should go for?

Personally, the 210. The 125 is not bad, but its really narrow, 17" You'll find, once you add rock, theres no swimming room. I'd only use a narrow tank for like a room devider, peninsula style. And even then. My 150 is 5'x2'x2'. I 20" is as narrow as I would personaly go.

I'd imagine the 210 is 6' too. I was mistaken, thought you said 7' long tank. not 72"(6')

the 125 will take the same MH as the 210 to light, but less T5 due to the width. With MH, you'll have more spillover on the 125
