Need new tank

Post by Jamison » Tue Dec 18, 2018 9:37 pm

Hello everyone. I have two pp's and they are in a five gal right now. I'm right on money so can't afford anything expensive. Does anyone know where I can get a ten to twenty gal for a good price?

Check craigslist. Check the apps OfferUp and LetGo. But if you can get one as big as you can afford.

Also consider buying a tote - rubbermaid bins. Often a lot cheaper to buy (cost per gallon) and does a wonderful job in homing hermit crabs. Just not very see through.

For what it’s worth I’d agree with the tote idea it is so multi purpose later down the road it could easily be an iso tank or used for transport. And if or when you upgrade the tote can go back to being a tote I’ve had the problem of collecting/accumulating 10-30 gallon tanks in the past and I can speak from experience they make a bad sock drawer.
