Getting back into the aquarium hobby.

[cichlidiot]

Hello all. After a 10 year lapse, I decided to get back in to this hobby. In the 90's I was living in Denver and at one time I had 13 tanks set up. Almost all had Central/South american Cichlids living in them. It was an addiction. I now live in Boise where there are only 2 or 3 fish stores and the big chain pet stores. I recently decided to get back in to aquarium keeping so I started looking on craigslist. Yesterday I scored a brand new, complete 37 gallon Eclipse system for $120.00. Now I just need to find a stand and we will be up and running. This is a great forum and I look forward to spending many hours here. Thanks.

jo3olous, I found it on craigslist. It was a case of guy moves away and leaves all of his stuff in his moms garage. Guy needs money so tells mom to sell his stuff. I tell mom that I only have $120.00 and she say's, "That will work."

Welcome to the tank!

Gotta love Craigslist. My only problem is I'm pretty specific with what tank size I want and there never seems to be anything listed other than 20 and 55 gals. If only someone would list 8 or so 30 gal breeders.
