    Re: Converting old PC table into aquariums

    my 10 years old MP cabinet was chipboard so disappointed.. bloated after it got wet... and it cost so much when I bought it previously .....
    so worried and don't know what to do initially... in the end in-law shift house and don't want tank so just throw away the cabinet and pass the tank to my brother...

    Out of my range. Looking in the used market for a similar build tank and cabinet. Please help to look out for me!

    Re: Converting old PC table into aquariums

    Go and take a look at GC, EOA and Fishy Business website.

    Look at the tank sizing offered and know the price range with cabinet.

    With this, you have an indicative pricing range to benchmark.

    It's really not poison...it's starting it right so you don't end up with tons of redundant equipment or tank.

    If come across a used 3 or 4 ft with cabinet at a bargain. Will seriously consider. I HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHED!

    Poison is leaching, You seems to have picked up abit.
    Allow me to

    Used market look must be careful, wait the seller live too far have to drive far. End up petrol cost more.
    Sometimes will see people sell and still offer delivery at a token fee but the whole set more expensive abit.

    Re: Converting old PC table into aquariums

    The MP is just part of the series name. Ehiem MP Professional. It is considered as the high end range from Ehiem. If you do consider this tank and you are going for a planted tank, don't buy the hood. Save a lot.

    Re: Converting old PC table into aquariums

    Bought a 60x30x45 from Y618. setting up coming Saturday. have a question. I have both eheim classic 2213 and 2217. If I want to add a eheim pre-filter, and want to use 2213 with flow rate of 440l/hr. Is flow sufficient for a 60+l tank? Wanted to save 2217 for a larger tank.
