| Hi all, just found this on aquarist classifieds, do you think it is a good buy? -->http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail59_198252.php I hope to buy it but have no-where to put it, my bedroom is in the process of being re-done, ill try and make some room in there i will probably buy a couple extra filters and extra stuff of eBay if i manage to persuade my parents to let me buy it I would also buy different substrate, probably sand, and bogwood for it, including a few other hiding places for BNs That is all, apart from my request for your opinions. James |

| Looking at the photos it seems a decent enough tank but you would really have to see it up close and make sure there are no faults. If it is OK make an offer, he seems in a hurry to get rid. If your planning on putting it in your bedroom the floor will have to be solid as a 3ft tank full of water is heavy. Is this for your BN's |

| I hope this goes well and you get your tank. Remember if your bedroom is upstairs that upstairs floors are not always as solid as downstairs. I'm sure your Dad will know if it's ok. Good luck - can't wait for the pictures |

| the tank and cabinet look A1 ok.... looks like the old Juwel Rekord 125 - could it be the Juwel Rio though.... they are decent tanks - I have two.. the top of the cabinet can belly after a while if it gets a little water on it... the internal canisters are not brill and the tank lids could do with upgrading but other wise a half decent tank  good luck and enjoy  |
