petsmart starter kits

I feel kind of like I'm in bizarro-world right now

 

yea i know

 

Do you

 

yes i do

 

I bought eclipse12 for $109 at petsmart. Came with lighting, bio wheel filter, salt, fish food, and other salt water product. But unfortunatly after i bought it, I sold it on craiglist for $40 for tank. Why? because I found out the lighting cannot support coral or anemonies, and extra lighting would cost me like extra $80 ish. So my best bet was to go and just buy biocube.
8gallon is $149,99 at petco at the moment, its on sale.

So if you are just looking for fish only tank, then just buy any starter set, fresh water or salt water. If you want coral or aneom and you still want to buy starter set, then go with biocube, or jbj nano cube. Nobody in area sells nanocube local, only biocube. So i went with biocube, and is doing pretty pretty well.

 

no im going to do a QT tank

 

Also keep in mind that their starter kits are geared for FW tanks, not SW. I don't find anything wrong with them, heck, my 20G tank is a Petsmart starter kit. I just sold off the powerfilter, ditched the canopy and used the cheapo lamp for my tree frog for a couple months.

 

i found a starter kit 20 gal and stand for 70$! the filter says it approved for saltwater and its only a hospital tank and when im done with it ill prob take it down

 

I bought my 30 gallon from Walmart a few years ago. I was happy with the package, but I only kept the hood and aquarium for my salt water
