He wants to sell the fish and live rock/coral together. So the fish and live rock is probably 3-400$ dollars. Protein skimmer min 100$ and you can keep the pump.

This is built in so you'll just have the tank and stand most probably. 900 without negotiation. I would ask 500 without anything just tank and stand.

He said no offers on the link but I made one anyways asking for tank and stand for 500 we will see what he says meanwhile what type of filtration do u think wet dry (not very knowledgable of these) or just a bigger canister

 

[Steven Williams]

Along with my current canister and another 50 gal over head (I have lots of spare filters)

I would do a 55 gallon sump and a trickle diy tower and thats it. No need for baffles or anything. Just get tons of media and the tower can have pre filters and all sorts of things.

55 gallon tank from petsmart/petco/ pet supplies plus usually runs 55$ a couple times a year.

You can do canister but it will cost you more and 1/5 of the media you can put in the sump.

My gramps heard of my predicament and has donated 500 bucks to the cause so that plus my 400 bucks and parent covering the rest

Soo I'm going to buy everything new
Here are my questions
I'm so stupid what's a sump trickle system?
Can a noob like me build one?
Can my angels go to my new tank with my aro or are they gone?
Heating?
Substrates? (Gravel has been a pain for me

Can a 300 gal with a stand fit here?
Also how do I set up and cycle a 300 gal in the spot my 60 gal currently is? Like do I have to move the 60? Or what?

Thanks Ihsnshaik

Nvm tank will not be new lol it's a lot I'll have to check fiber glass and that guy u sent me a link to

Watch this same thing but I would use a 55 gallon tank for the sump. You can add tons and tons of media before the pump.

I wouldn't mix angels and an arowana. Heating get some eheim jager heaters. Substrate is all on you. Sand/gravel bare bottom anything you want.

Okay so first you have to know the dimensions of the tank. Will it fit the space? No idea it can be 6ft long or 8 feet long. Depends on the dimensions of the tank. That space looks like it won't be able to fit but measure it.
