Neffy Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hello Im getting my younger sister a fish tank for her birthday the problem is i live in melbourne and she lives in canberra so i need to buy a tank from a source that is able to ship it does anyone know good online stores that sell/ship tanks at reasonable prices?? i have found a few but they seem a bit umm inflated in price. Also i need suggestions for good tanks that have an inbuilt filter and lighting and she wants to keep 1 bristlenose and 3 kuhli loaches and im looking around the 30L mark. So far ive seen a few aqua one models sold on ebay (always pickup) but when ever i find a store with one its included with a stand which i dont want. argh frustrating!

melbournebetta Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I love my aquaone, it's pretty ferocious with current (for my female sorority) but looks a million bucks with the inbuilt light, effective filter and the rest. Mine was an ebay win (bargain!) so, sorry can't help with that bit. -Ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 The aquaone tanks are all really good, perhaps look around online for local stores? I think you will run into problems keeping a bristlenose in a 30 litre tank, they poo like more than they eat and can get fairly big. What about an otto instead?

mumofthehoarde Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I think Livefish had some aquaone type tanks on their website...not too sure how they stack up for price but they do deliver. Dont know if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl13 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Livefish currently have Poseidon 30lt for $119 including shipping. Tank has NO stand and comes with inbuilt light and internal filter. Doesn't give any detail about filter so it might be worth a phone call to ask if you're interested, Jo.

Amberjade Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Majestic Aquariums ship tanks - not sure what they have as far as complete setups, but worth a look. They are based in Sydney. I was planning on getting a custom build through them, and it was going to be $100 shipping - pretty darn good for a 5' x 18 " x 18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
