Tank price...

[Conner]

So I found a local guy who has 2 brand new drilled (but no overflow) tanks for sale.

The tanks are 100g each, 48Lx24Wx21T (great footprint). He'll sell them to me for $150 each.

Think it's a good deal?

well i think so cause people sell the USED for around 200-250

Thinking about buying both, putting them over/under on a single stand, and keeping an African and South American lungfish in one, and either a school of geo's in the other, or use it as a stingray growout tank...

I think it's a pretty good deal

Well, I'm seriously thinking about buying both of them once my tax return clears. I'm also thinking that what I would do, since they're both drilled but without overflows, is directly plumb them to canister filters. I was thinking of buying a pair of Ehiem 2217's, and running one on each tank.

The first tank will be for my geo's (6 brasiliensis, 3 jurapari, and possibly 2 dicrozoster or surinamensis (planning on picking up from the LFS today, if they're still there. They're not sure on the ID). None of these guys are over 4" yet, and most are under 3".

The second tank will probably house a Spotted African Lungfish and a South American lungfish, each between 12-18" in length.

Does everyone think those setups will work? Is that enough filtration considering the stock? I can always add a HOB or another canister if I need to.

I would buy them if I was in the market.
