Nano Tank Quesion

[mikemirve]

Hi
I saw this nano cube on craig's list is there anything you guys can see that is wrong with this nano tank? Its a 12 g tank comes with heater timer but no bio balls
I am new to aquariums so any help would be appericated

Does it come with a powerhead? There should be a little pump in the back chamber of the tank.

If not, it's still fine. They are good little tanks. It's a good thing it doesn't come with bioballs, those are generally not a good idea in saltwater anyways.

How much is being asked for the tank? It comes with the stand too, I assume?

 

[mikemirve]

it is only $75 for tank im deciding to use my own stand ill ask him if there is a power head i assume there is because he said "it works perfectly"

There should also be a flow spout. From the pics I dont see one.

 

[mikemirve]

is the flow spout expensive?

There should also be a flow spout. From the pics I dont see one.

Looks like it may have broke off, and was replaced with some blue tubing. In the last chamber behind that tubing should be a small return pump that pushes the water back into the tank.

I noticed that blue tube also. Looks sketchy. If you find out that it works fine or is replaceable, then it looks all good.

He needs to clean his garage!

If a piece seems to have been broken off, I'd check for leaks before taking it. Otherwise, looks fine....except the garage, like Justin so kindly pointed out ;)

 

[dcantucson]

That's a great deal for the tank and I'd take the stand if I were you too!

 

[little_fish]

Ya, if it doesnt leak, i would risk $75 on that. I think you could fix anything that might be broke for a whole lot less than what it would cost new.

But what about the lighting on that thing? That would be my biggest concern

 

[fastrd400]

You should be able to find anything and everything you might need for it here. If not, contact them, they are pretty cool people.
