37 gallon set up
Hey Gerwin I am think about updating my 10 gallon set up to a 37 gallon set up. I was just wondering about how much would that cost me to get the kit? I have a general idea how much it would cost from petsmart from searching their website. But I would rather not buy it from them if i can avoid it. it will be quit a while before i am ready to buy it because I am saving up a little bit of money each month. But i was still hoping for a general idea.

Any of us could have told you to avoid the "box" stores. Best place to go is the BMFLFS in Biloxi!!! 
Seriously though, where do you live? I've got a friend who's a vet and he's outstanding. He's here in Gautier.

Re: 37 gallon set up
Wes I live in saucier. I am going in one last time tomorrow. the vet there said that their new policy doesn't take place for two weeks. but i will need a new one after that. there is one down the street from us but they want to charge 200 dollars for just the visit and the rabese shot. ok i totally can't afford that. my dream tank is gonna take me about a year to save for once i have a set price.bluwtr wrote:Any of us could have told you to avoid the "box" stores.

Jamie I have a 29 gallon box kit that is 30x12x20 with stand for 199.99, I also have a 55 gallon with stand and light hoods for 199.99 (but you have to buy filters and heaters separate)
and I do have a 38ish or so tank, I will have to see what kinda of package I can do.

although that 55 is very very tempting and in my savings range. how much would i have to pay for a undergravel filter and a heater.

Re: 37 gallon set up
55 ug filters run form 25-40 dollars, heater 13-30.00
the 29 and 37 are no different other than a few inches taller on the bigger, so breeding in one is no different than the other in my view.

Re: 37 gallon set up
sounds like 29 gallon is a good deal then. I will talk it over with dad and see which he thinks would be better. I know that we have one male angel now. because its fully grown and has never laid eggs and has blood red eyes so we are sure its a male. and our other one we are guessing at still. hoping its a female.Gerwin wrote:55 ug filters run form 25-40 dollars, heater 13-30.00

It will take me a while to save the money. how much for gravel to put in it? do you have some type of slate or glass panels i can slide in there when they have paired off that they will lay the eggs on and be fertilized?
