how much would the 8 foot cost

[samir]

could anyone give me an estimate on how much it would cost me if i were to buy it from a shop.

[fw05racer]

at least $450 for a standard 8x2x2. What extras do you want in it?

[samir]

not sure what it`s worth,
but I would say it would probably be worth a lot more without the shipwreck. :lol:

LOL.

You would need at least one more cannister aswell.

its got a built in filter(in the hood)thats the full lenght of the tank. i have a small tank with one of those and as far as I know, I seriously doubt if it needs another filter. some real information along with the wisecracks would help.

I recon theres at least a Thou worth of stuff there, closer to 2 with cab.

[samir]

thanks rider. so what do you think the lot lot would be worth? about 4 thou? less ? more ?

[Merrilyn]

Samir, if that's a Jebo tank, as it appears to be, then it's worth in excess of $4000 at 8 foot.

I have a ten foot Jebo, in that style, and it retailed for around $10,000. (No, we didn't pay retail for it :wink: )

[samir]

thank you very much Merrilyn. It seems like a good deal. i've got 14 discus now ranging from 9 to 14 cm (with 4-6 more arriving shortly)and am quickly running out of space. Cannot make up my mind. I can squeeze it in somewhere but whats terrifying me is the 400 litre water change.

Can you find out what brand it is.

It may also be AquaPro or another one of the cheapie brands, if so I would er on the side of caution. If it is Jebo or AquaOne, then you shouldnt have any issues.

[samir]

i've decided to give it a miss. the guy wants 5k.
