Setting up a brackish tank for my future F8

Jack's Aquarium is having their $1 per gallon Tank sale. The question is, what size will I settle on? I'm truly running out of fish tank space in this house, but the decision's been made to go to the finished basement. My new frontier, lol!

I'm thinking 29 regular or a 30 breeder.

I would go with a tank that has a bigger foot print.

Footprint is a good idea. Breeders have a bigger footprint right?

Yes, they are shorter and longer.

Go for the 30 breeder, but if your on a budget I bet the 29 gallons are cheaper. I always get my tanks as a set, comes with heater, filter, and lights.

there you go

I saw a 20 gallon or something at Petsmart, it was about half a foot tall and 2-3 feet long! It was sooo cooL!

Actually, the 20 breeder is 30" long. 30 x 12 x 12. That might be enough for one F8, ya think?

For a F8, yeah. I'd go with the 29 or 30 though and get some gobies with it.

yeap, that would be fine

the sale is 1dollar a gallon, i dont think 1 buck will break the bank LOL

A buck a gallon, haven't seen prices like that since the 80's!
Now that U have the "new frontier" go as big as U can...imagine what a 260 would look like in that nice finished basement

I know if there would a $1 per Gallon sale here in my LFS, I would buy as many large tanks as my wife would let me

Heck ya, I'd get tons of spare tanks for later.
