    Getting a 4ft tank, with tight budget

    Hi bro, I am getting a 4 ft tank ( either 4 x 2 x 2 or 4 x 2 x 1.5, prefably with around 10mm thick glass) but with very limited budget ( Max I can go is $120)

    Does anybody have any recommendation where can I get a cheap and good 4 ft tank? I do not need any stand, sump stand or cabinet, just purely need the tank plus delivery to my place.

    I look through the tank makers that are recommended, like n30 etc, but it is really too expensive and beyond my budget..

    Fellow bro, please give me advice and show me the way to a cheap 4ft... Thank you.

    Best way to find second hand one lor on the forum. $120 should be quite hard for first hand. You can try different shops ba.

    Great hobbies never come cheap, like Camera body not very costly but Lens will make you bleed. (no offense to mods and bros out there. purely a example.
    I would humbly suggest (of course if AquaticStyle still not withing your reach), to go for a 3 footer instead.

    A teaser... plant foreground your back still would ache as hell... do not worry LOL....
