What to buy...

[ktrom13]

With that amoubt of money you can buy some outdoor breeding totes. With the fish you get from breeding you can sell/trade off to help pay for the hobby.

Wish you'd tell me where I can sell fish to make money, or what breeds of fish.


(And if you still want whiteclouds, I'm likely to have a Bajillion spare in September or so.)

get a big fresh water tank and a big planter with your favourite veggies and use the weekly water changes to water the veggies. I like to water my plants with the old tank water and all my plants love it.

Sell them cheap to a LFS or to someone who has carnivorous fish. Not the best money but any money is better than none. Im going to be stopping by my LFS to see if they have vietnamese whiteclouds. Easy to breed and a CARES fish too.

Not to derail the OPs thread, what are somethings you need? If i ever have spare money i see if i need anything before i get something i want.

Talk about a derailment! Lmao!

So today, I bought a new shelf for the Aquaponics setup. I bought furnace filters too.

I am still am up In the air on the rest of the money. Regulator rebuild kit? Ah supply light kit?

Why the PC kit and afternoon delight bulb?

Probably cheaper to get something in T5HO, will be more flexible currently (2 bulbs vs. 1) and future proof to boot. and still well within your $100 budget

The strip light I have already to retro fit is only 24" long is the main reason. Also I have heard nothing but good reviews about AH supply's kits.


OK guys I decided to get the holster and the rebuild kit for the regulator for now. Thanks for the...help? LOL either way it was good fun.

The reviews are all probably a decade old too

the kits were awesome, mostly because of the reflectors.. but these days it's difficult and expensive to replace PC bulbs (I know.. most of my aquarium lighting is still 55/65w PC bulb based..) so think of the ongoing expense as well.

you'll likely get more PAR from an LED or T5HO fixture too.


so sell the 24" fixture you'd retrofit and but a complete unit when you're ready for more light, it'll be more future-proof and the only work involved will be taking it out of the box

Oh OK, I didn't realize how old that info was. I probably will just get another LED from build my LED, like I did for the 75. Of coarse their prices have come down since I bought my first light from them. Thanks dougall!
