finley Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi Rather than keeping my best growing out Bettas in little containers, I'm considering using a series of proper mini tanks. Are there any decent (and affordable) ones which have heating, basic filtration and a little light on top, all included as one unit? Thanks :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasfire Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 :( :rofl: :rofl: Sorry, unless you consider $30-$40 each cheap and affordable. I haven't seen any for cheaper than that and I don't think that even included a heater. Honestly the words 'cheap and affordable' don't go in the same sentence as fish unless you are looking into 2nd hand stuff. We use pasta sauce jars or coke bottles with the neck cut off, easy to clean and water change as well as recyclable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hmm, probably not all-in-one setups, though you might be able to set up a sort of mini racking system that could come close. Can you give a better idea of price range and size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainy Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 why not try one of these iv got 2 all i added was a 50w heater and a desk lamp to sit on top http://ausaqua.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5655 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peta Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I love the biorbs - the LFS has one and I drool over it all the time... and how cute are the baby biorbs!!! and wow the systems for the breedars... would not like to know how much that costs (with postage etc haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finley Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Those look great axo, thanks. The nano is very cute in a really expensive way . I never thought of a laboratory supplier before, but of course aquaculture / biology labs have to get their gear from somewhere. Those guys in the link are in Florida... I wonder who makes aquaculture laboratory setups in NSW? Fin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's just plastic. Can't be that heavy. Get them to ship it to you. Just tell them to leave out the bottle of bacteria that they normally include in the kit. You could be the first person to have one in the country divy.

Bettarazzi Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 From Brett's link did you follow the link to the Reef One site? I only navigated to the contact page. I didn't send an email because... well... I can't afford one of those things so it's pointless me sending an email. http://www.reef-one.com/site/contact.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraFrog Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Big W sells them... they are not particularly good quality but I must say that mine have lasted very well, and the filters are the sort you can stuff around with easily.
