The Puffer Forum

If any of you have seen some of my posts lately, you'll know I have a 50 gallon tank, with 2 gsp's, on its way to bursting.

The news is, I got the LFS I work at to order me a new 65 gallon tank for my lovies (...pufferfish, that is...). I don't know much about equipment, but I know I only pay 10% additional to what the store gets the stuff for. It's probably not as good of a deal as getting a used tank would be, but from briefly looking around, I've had a hard time finding a tank in the right dimensions to fit where I want it to be.

I'm getting a Perfecto 65 gallon (36"x18"x25") with overflow, a wet/dry filter, a black wooden stand, top, pump, for $487.
Here's the breakdown:
tank - $180
Stand - $130
top - $22
Wet/dry - $90
pump - $65
And I've got power compacts ordered, and a protein skimmer on-hand.

So hooray for Mr. Lumps and Mr. Bumps for getting a nicer home!
And boo for Liz in case she was ripped off.

Pretty good price if it comes with the stand, IMO.

Good job Liz, a lot less stress for you worrying about that tank popping on you! And the fish will love the extra gallons of course.

I like those tanks, the proprtions are nice, and they are not difficult to work in. They are very easy to set decor in.
