an 175 gallon gravel filter
3 gravel filter sheet
2 bubble bar
100 gallon air pump

oak stand
water conditioner
lights, hoods
heater

Do you think this is good. theres about 2 more things but i cant remember.

Sounds pricey to me...considering I can get brand new set up for $499....unless UGF's are more expensive than I think.

[cichlidkid123]

oooh yea now i remember. it also comes with two big pieces of coral which is 60 dollar each. and 120 pounds of fine gravel. Also with the ph down and up. and the ammonia measure. And also two test kit.

I would not pay that for a 125 you could get 2 for that price.

I agree, undergravel filters are not only cheap as chips but they are crappy and you will need much better, more expensive filtartion than that.

[cichlidkid123]

yea i was also thinkg about it too. i might get two instead. its like 400 for one and 500 with the stand.

1 grand is high for a 125 tank. I paid a little over 300 for the tank new.
I know they charge a fortune for the stands nowadays. but I make my own stands for around 50.00
sometimes even less depending on the availability of decent wood.
I can buy a 240 gallon here in my home town with a stand for 1 grand.

Ahh, but Ray, you live near glasscages :P

I paid $220.00 for a 125 Gal tank in 2004. It cant have gone up that much since then. I would keep looking.
