I am now conflicted on what tank to buy. Either this one:http://www.usedwinnipeg.com/classified-ad/7886791

or this one:http://www.usedwinnipeg.com/classified-ad/7895485

I already have a 75 gal freshwater community and I want to have a cichlid tank. I know the bigger one would be better but the other guy is selling the tank with gravel,filter and a lid not in the picture for $150 bucks that's sooo cheap I can't really pass it up. It cost me almost $400 for the tank I have right now not including fish, with fish and plants more like about $500. So @ $150 with everything all I'd have to is build another stand and maybe another filter and I'm off to the races. So like $250 total and then fish.

Suggestions....................?

I vote for the 50 gallon. Eww.... wait... well..... are the items included what you would want to keep or possible upgrade?

Might be better just to get the two tanks for $200 and build it the way you want it.

The 2 70's are a better deal.

i would go with the 2 70 gallons.
A.) you will most likely become addicted to fish..lol (like everyone on this site)
B.) Because it comes with one light fixture, and you would spend 50 bucks at least on lighting.
C) for 50 bucks more, you are getting 140 gallons..90 more gallons!
D) you can get a 55gallon at walmart with lights, and filter for 155 dollars
e)gravel and plants are not terribly expensive, and then you have the satisfaction of designing the tank how you would like it.

i also vote for the 70gs then you can make them perfect for you and your fish, also its a much better deal and if you onley want one you might beable to sell the other with some gravel or somthing for morethan you paid for.

hope this helps

Well unfortunately I went for the 50 which is actually only a 40 ! Although the filter is worth $100 up here and then the tank would also be over $50 I got gravel and some rocks with it as well, it's not the worst deal ever I guess. Maybe I can use it for growing out plants.

I really wanted it for a cichlid tank though
