Yvonne Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 hi cool, if you are really unsure about what to buy or require,its best that you get a tank maker who can take care of all your needs. just my humble and not so experienced opinion.

SRC Member flying carpet Posted August 5, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 5, 2005 Plan out your budget first. Get a reliable tank maker. Plan where to put the tank also. Know what you are buying don't just buy what they tell you to buy. Remember that there are alot of bloodsucker out there so choose wisely. Hope that your tank works out good luck.

SRC Member Kelmen Posted August 5, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yes, as those brothers advised. You can get the 1st draft from the LFS\supplier, but don't commit into their proposal yet. Post up the proposal here, to get more feedback. Only then make your own call.
