What kind of cost would I be looking at for a decent set up? Say a 3-4 ft tank and a good filter. Is the water quality hard to get right/ keep right? Many thanks, HJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks, HJ cold water set up,4ft tank and filter,plus your bits and bobs although no need for a heater prob around £150/£200,rough guess lol,also you will need something very sturdy to put it on,heavy as f**k mate,a shop bought one will rape your wallet so hope you got a good strong sideboard at home,water quality is easy to maintain now days lots of products on the market to help you out,although regular,partial water changes is a must imo, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
