Thankfully, technology has moved on to the point where it's not ridiculously expensive any more thanks to the new small complete tanks.
Having previously kept tropical discus fish I was aware that it was entirely possible to get a 2nd hand full setup at a massive price saving and also kickstart the whole process to boot avoiding all the tank filter cycling and other stuff.
So, I won and auction for a D&D 24g Nano tank as a complete setup. Below are some pics of it at the sellers house before I brought it home and here's an inventory:
- D-D 24gallon nano marine tank full set up which includes:
- Boyu 310 Skimmer
- Eheim 1000 return pump
- Spare stock return pump
- Koralia Nano powerhead
- Live Sand
- Approx 10kg of LR
- 1 Humbug Damsel fish (Black & White)
When we dismantled the tank it turned out there was a hitch hiker crab too.
