the Juwel vision 190 can be had for similar money. might be worth a look ?

Is this one of PG Tips???

Geddit???

how small you looking? i have a 2ft tank, its a combined unit, built into the lid is the light and timer, onto the side is one unit that houses the heater and filter


2ft wide, slightly higher than your av 2ft tank


nice little unit though great starter, was bought new 2 yrs ago for £130




25 quid and its ures

also i have a normal 2ft tank, i do have a heater for it also a brand new in the box filter

20 quid

im in southampton

sorry mate a little too small !

is it a tropiquarium 68 ?

well apart from that i have a gorgeous 3 ft pine tank, extrememely well built cost £800 new

was looking at one of those on Ebay yesterday it sold for £220 not sure how that compares to yours ;)

id say get one, it becomes part of the furniture, much better than a tank sat on a stand etc

I would prefer one thats all in I think so that all neat & tidy !

Have you looked at the the Fluval range. They also come with everything you need and IMHO are a better deal than the Tropiquaium range. I managed to buy an ex-display Fluval Duo 1000 Deep tank that had only been set-up that day with the stand for £200 from my local Pets at Home. Would never buy livestock from them but their prices on hardware are usually the best. We also managed to get a Fluval 204 external filter for £49.99 which was the cheapest we found anywhere.

The other nice thing about the Fluval tanks is that they are pre built for an easy conversion to external filtration which I thoroughly recommend.

Whats your budget???

A quick search reveals the Tropiquarium 88 can be had for £254.95.

For that sort of money you could have a Fluval Duo 1000 Deep for £249.95 or a 1200 Deep for £289.95.

That the kinda money I was looking to spend but was hoping to keep the internal filtration !

The Fluvals come with internal filtration but only supports foam and carbon media. They also come with a selection of plastic plants, a heater, tap water conditioner, tank cycle (bacteria in a bottle) and plant food (strange when the pack includes plastic plants).

I thoroughly recommend the Fluval tanks and IMO are built better and are more user freindly than the Tropiquariums.
