Newbie Tank Questions

Thanks.

This is acrylic and tank only, but I see what you are saying...they're out there!

I'll keep looking

Welcome neighbor :)

+1 glass. Starfire is a low-iron glass and looks crystal clear. Manhattan Aquariums on 37th and 10th Ave have a few Elos tanks with starfire. I'd check them out just to get an idea.

good luck

Thanks, i will do. Any other locations in NYC you have had success with from an LFS perspective?

I get most of my supplies online but always pop into MA or even Petco to check out livestock. Blue Star Aqua on 65th and Bway are pretty good. Google and go to their site to see the order list. There are also quite a few local vendors that sell livestock out of their homes. Much much cheaper than the stores and they actually have a 24 or 48 hour guarantee. I never order livestock online. I don't think it's really fair to stress the animals that much. But that's just me...

This is all extremely helpful. I'm gonna pop into MA and Blue Star tomorrow. Thanks
