Waiting on Refund to come in , am loooking at 3g's to spend on an Aro tank with everything in it Tank , Stand , Filters, Heater, Gravel , Plants , lights etc. I know its not much but what if you had 3g's for an aro tank what will you do?
 
Three grand, well my acrylic tank alone was more then that. You can save some by going with glass. Also you may be able to find a used set up though. What size tank are you looking to get?
 
craigslist an 8x3 as new as possible, 2 fx5s black sand 3 motoros, 1 black aro, 8 large eartheaters, 1 huge datnoid

thats probably about 3g
 
Just ordered a new Tenacor tank that measures 8x3x2 last week cost me $2200 shipped the salesman gave me a 30% discount idk if that was a special they had or he just gave that to me. Shipping alone cost me $720 so depends on where you live might be cheaper. That leaves you around $800 to get your filters and prob a DIY stand anyways GL on your search.
 
Keep the ideas coming , can't afford to do more maybe scrounge up an extra $500 but thats pushing it. am looking at glasscages 8 x 3 x 2 probably thats at least $1300 leaves me $1700 for the rest , two FX5's are a good idea maybe 2 eheim 2180's? still looking at some ideas,originally plan was at 2 G's but it's not feasible. maybe 3500? lol anyway like I said keep the ideas coming. Definitely DIY stand for me.

Go ebay or craig's and save some of that money for a rainy day. don't dump your entire tax return into a tank. save some.
 
glasscages best bang for the buck I had mine running for 4 years before I sold it. look for a used 75g turn it into a sump figure $200 for a water pump $70 for a couple heaters. You could do a lot with 3000

honestly i think that you could get a used setup (i.e. tank, lights, stand, top) for 1.5g that leaves you .5g for 2 fx5s 300 for 3 small motoros, 300 for large datnoid, 200 for large geos, 100 for large arowana and 100 for shipping. 3g exact
