TOPIC: 180 gal set up

180 gal set up 3 years, 4 months ago #21021

Hi everyone!

I am just curious as to what the idea 180 us gal set up would be for an oscar, 3 clown loaches, 1 green terror, and 5 red hook silver dollers.

heaters, filters, decorations, gravel/sand, light, etc. Brand names and average prices would be great too.

Thanks!

on my 180 gallon tank i have - for heating: two eheim jager professional 250 watt heaters(about $50 each). for lighting i use 2 three foot aqua-glo colour enhancing bulbs 30 watts($20 each) and 2 three foot black lights 25 watts(for moon lighting)($25 each). for substrate i went with mortar sand for bricks from the local masonry supply store 80 lbs($20). driftwood three pieces ($35 each). fake plants ($15). for filtratton i run 2 fluval fx5 filters ($330 each). and i also run one aquaclear 110 hob filter to help with mechanical filtration($90). tank stand and canopy total of about $500 for these(i found some really good deals). background i did myself with stuff laying around the house.

seeing my wife happily watching the oscar tanks.....priceless

wow great information!

thanks alot! I figured it would be about $1000 for stuff other than the tank and stand. a little scary when you make $12/hr working...
