Zazie Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 that actually looks like a pretty good deal. ive never ordered from them before, but the price seems to be good, and it comes with a light.....i say go for it Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 With only seeing it from the pics, it looks like a pretty good deal. Nice looking tank, Looks like a Coralife 2x13w fixture(or is it a knock-off?), and some unknown to me filter. $50 isn't bad for the whole package. Link to comment

REEFfreak Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 are you guys kidding me... what a P.O.S.. first off their bulbs sux ass... their MH bulbs...are a joke...make your own..spend the extra cash...if you really want a pico then go with:http://nanotuners.nanocustoms.com/nanotune...products_id=152 hope this helps..never get anything from that site... you get what you pay for... not true ...catalina is a good company cheap but way better than that aquatrader.com BS and they also have good cust svc . i have their 2x55 light fixture works great stays cool and the bulbs are nice too 50/50 bulbs idk abt their MH but im guessing they are ok? ...but that is a good deal for that little tank i saw it in person it is glass and the light is good quality also ..legs are a little flimsy just be careful and the filter is just some power filter suggest upgrade to a aquaclear if u want to keep using a power filter over all i ll but it.... thats cheap..! the LFS sold the tank only for 40 dollars!!! go for it dude..if u dont like some of it just mix and match !

cannondale Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 thanks everyone, i am thinking i might do it, its fairly cheap, and yes i would replace the filter. I like the cpr pico-c but i dont want something that tall. I was going to go the 2.5 aga but i hate the plastic top and the sealant in the corners of the tank. Link to comment
melbourne Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 thanks everyone, i am thinking i might do it, its fairly cheap, and yes i would replace the filter. I like the cpr pico-c but i dont want something that tall. I was going to go the 2.5 aga but i hate the plastic top and the sealant in the corners of the tank. I like the rounded corners on that tank, plus its glass which is nice. You can always hang the supplied light as a pendant and go for a clean trimless look. Link to comment
Ishtar Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 i bought the 1.6 or something like that just because i liked the clean look. I saw the website you pointed out last night and emailed them, " how much for the tank alone" answer "25 to your door" the true DIY'er could make a nice fixutre for a pretty cool tank design. i am thinking of drilling the back of the 2.5 and doing spray bar one thing i just notice, and traced on a piece of paper to be sure, the front glass is not a perfect bend. Just a hair off. Thats on my 1.6 made by same person Link to comment
Ishtar Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 i just bought the 2.7 you talked about. I will be doing this mod on the weekend. Link to comment
melbourne Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 i just bought the 2.7 you talked about. I will be doing this mod on the weekend. How is the quality on the 2.7 tank? Can you take a pic - I'm thinking about picking one up as well. Link to comment
Ishtar Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 you know it is good and looks great. I bought mine from my lfs for only 15 but the online store is 25. i will take pics probably sat afternoon when i start my overflow project Link to comment
CapHillReef Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 i just bought the 2.7 you talked about. I will be doing this mod on the weekend. Are you going to do this with acrylic? that looks like a great plan. Is there some kind of aquarium safe paint that you can use so the pumps won't be visible? Maybe some tinted lexan... I really want to do something like this in my office (well, cubicle.) Keep up up to date with your progress! Link to comment
Casabubu Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 you can use krylon fusion paint Link to comment
