WTB first setup

[sroot17]

I have done my research and am ready to begin purchasing equipment for my first FOWLR setup. The only problem I have run into is trying to decide where to buy my equipment! Can anyone recommend a LFS in the NYC area or any online stores?

Thanks

Buy it All from Other MR members A a fraction of new . What are you looking for ???

 

[fcamargo6thave]

how many gallons are you looking to do i might have something for u

 

[sroot17]

Looking for a 40g breeder or 50g 36x18x18 tank. Protein Skimmer, power heads, heater, twin bulb fixture, etc. I pretty much need everything...

I'd much rather not go to petland discounts or petco and would like to be able to talk to someone that actually knows what they are talking about.

 

[sroot17]

40-50 gallons

hey if u stay around the 36 inch length i can sell you pc coralife light which would look nice in the tank for $60 and a wet dry pro clear rated for 75 gallons for $50 both brand new you would send about $400-500
