Long shot - looking for a ~5g setup

[Indigo]

this is a long shot, since I don't think many people from the boards live up here in Fort St. John, BC. I'm looking to set up a small desktop tank around 5g. I'm also looking for canopy/lights/heater/filter as well.

Umm, what else? I'll pay shipping, within reason, there probably isn't much savings for me to ship up a tank from too far away (ie south and east canada and US). Anyway, if anyone is selling a setup, either PM me here or silly_alex82@hotmail.com

Thanks!

I have to say I am clueless right now as to where in canada that is, but I'm in south east washington and have a 5 gallon eclipse type system, would include the gravel/flourite, java moss, aponegetons and crypts as well as heater, everything else is included in the system.

I am considering selling it but need to get the tank swaps made for the inhabitants first.

I would consider selling as it is set up now, but if shipping makes it to hard not to disrupt the plants and gravel/flourite then I'd consider the option of getting it to you without the plants and gravel.

don't know how soon I will have it ready... if ya want it quicker than in a few months other sources would be better.

I live wayyyy up in BC, near the beginning of the Alaska Highway (if thats any help ) At the moment I'm VERY broke, so it'll be at least a month til I'm ready to get into things. It sounds like a great little setup. The substrate and plants might make shipping difficult. I'm hoping to do some shopping in Alberta with their lower sales tax, see what prices are there.

Thanks for the reply, keep me posted if/when your tank is free.

you can get a good 5g acrylic that ships easily with all that stuff.
might find a used one on ebay or another classified site...
I think at that size an acrylic would be the way to go

I got a 5 gallon glass tank that includes power filter, heater, thermometer, glass cover, 18 watt PC light, 5 gallon tank with back and bottom painted black, and a mini magfloat. Everything is less than 6 months old and most everything has only been used 2 months. I'll let it go for 40 plus shipping costs. I have no clue how to calculate the skipping cost so I guess give me your city or providence or whatever, and your zip code or postal code thing. Thanks-Greg
