Ira Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hmmm, $200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretal Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Got offered it for $250, but said no. Was only really after the tank etc, didn't really want the fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcookie Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 $250 is pushing it, more like $150 I reckon.... See Greg (tanks2u) has more tanks up for sale on trademe, these tanks are very well built. Millenium filters are a bit overrated, Not sure about 2000, but 3000 is okay, but RRP of $199 is a joke, Aquaclear 70 leaves it for dead and is $65 new. Yeah, $150 seems right in my little wee opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcookie Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hiya Bluetom, always been interested in AC500 - I know poeple from USA forums (Fishindex) who swear by them, but always put it down to them being particularly cheap in the ole US of A. How do you find it? I have an AC200 (now called AC50), which I have been fairly happy with. Media size is better than an internal filter, and with cotton wool polishes water well, but of course falls well short of a decent cannister. Have been considering an AC300 (Now called AC70) as the flow rate is nice and high, and the filter area is quite large. But, its well short of the AC500. Bottom line I guess, how can "I" get an AC500 for under NZ$100? Could you offer some tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I've got a couple of Aquaclear 70's and have found them to be quite good, easy to put third party resins etc in and they offer good aeration. Haven't had any problems with them. Got both my Aquaclears, 2 other filters, 4 heaters and a heap of plants for $10 second hand 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcookie Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Ahhh yes, the old "got $200 of stuff for $10 on trademe", or similar, experience. Have had a couple of these myself, wonderful aint they....Makes the joys of using nice equipment Even Nicer. Hummingbird, If you sell me the lot for $20, you would have made a 100 percent profit. One Hundred Percent, an amazing achievement. (Have i convinced ya yet?) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
