| If you've got space for a 120g, and if you've got the $350 to spend on it, it looks like a good buy. I'd go for it. |

| I agree with Sirdarksol,
It's entirely up to you! If I were you, and had the space and money, I would grab it right away!

| Then I say go for it. The stand alone would cost way more than $350. The hood would be pretty pricey, too (and you can easily replace the light system inside. I built a hood and put a fluorescent system together from scratch). | |

| If you and your husband are in agreement, don't think, just call/e-mail and get it. (Although, don't forget to examine it before handing the money over) It will be gone soon. You can reinforce the floors before you actually set it up, but I'd say get it soon.
Feel free to ask about setting the lights up. I can help walk you through the simplest things to change. At most, I would guess that you'd have to replace the ballast (time consuming, but not difficult). | |

| Uh, I have a tank similar to that and it cost me over $2,000. So ya, that is a great buy! Imagine the possibilities! Oh, and mine is only 90 gallons! | |

I'm going to inspect it fully to make sure it's in good condition.I'll be letting you know if I need your help. Thanks so much. | |

| So many good threads gone down such a dark road.
BTW I did get two pairs of un-dyed knee highs with reinforced toes. Should I have spent the extra money for the reinforced toes?
The “big gravel change” happens tomorrow. I’m so excited, I can’t wait to try out my new pantyhose. | |

| That will be neat to get to put in new gravel..It will give the whole tank a new look I'm sure..You'll have to tank pics too...Ohhh and I think that reinforced is the only way to go. | |

| It will be so nice to get rid of nauseous blue gravel. And you bet I’ll be sure to get before and after pictures. And hey for an extra 75 cents the reinforced toes just seemed to be the right thing to do. I didn't want to get a run in them after all.
BTW… how long should I leave my pantyhose in the tank? | |

December 12th, 2008

| | Fish Master
| HEE HEE..It was the right thing to do..lol
You leave them in there until the tank is cycled. I'll be taking my pantyhose out tonight. | |

| I am hoping not to go through a cycle. I’m not setting up a new tank but simply replacing the gravel. I do plan to keep everything in air-raided tank water in 10g pails. I’m just not sure how long it will take for the new gravel to seed.
As this is a hi-jack should I post in a new thread? | |

| If you want you sure can...I would say leave the panty hose in there until all of your readings have been stable for a week or so..But I could be wrong too..Might want to start a new one just to see what other members think. | |

| Thanks Choffman,
Since you are the "cycle queen" that's good enough for me. I was planning on about two weeks. I think it's perhaps more of an experiment then a question. But I will start a thread just to see what our good friends think. | |

Flip a coin, if it comes up heads buy the tank. If it comes up tails, flip again! | |
