Finding the Cheapest 125g Setup

A deep dive into the options for setting up a 125 gallon aquarium for the least cost. For a setup I am looking at the minimum to run an aquarium properly so the tank, stand, filter, heater, and light.

- Setup #1: Minimal Aqueon Setup -

- Setup #2: Best Kit -

- Setup #3: Best Stylish Setup -

Here in Indianapolis about a month ago that top fin 125 was on sale for $450.. but not anymore, it'll probably go back to 450 around black Friday

Craig's list in LA you can pick some tanks up for cheap, that would cut down on some of the cost.

Go to goodwill if you have one around sometimes they have some big tanks that don’t leak for less than 10 dollars

@3:19 what light setup is shown on this rank? Looks like something I’m interested in using, especially the arms/brackets

Thank U for this video. I have everything I need for a 125 tank (been piecing it together backwards, except for the tank itself.)
Off topic questions, in the shot near the beginning of the video... what type of Anubius is that? Do U happen to know? String tied, glued, or edged in?
If U have another video on it or want to do one, I would love to see it. ❤️

Man, you guys in the US are so much cheaper for the whole set ups than here in the UK.
I've just paid £2, 500 for a 5'x2'x2. It's a awesome looking kit but shit it's expensive ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

will those 3D BACKGROUNDS fit inside an acrylic tank ?.. or will they only fit inside a glass tank with those open rims ?

I got a 125g from offerup, for only $150 stand included!

[watsonvillecalifash]

If I stack 2 of these shelves and then add the tank with water, will it be too heavy? Or think it can stand all that weight?

$1000 as of the timestamp of this comment
