    Depends on condition, make of filters and make of heater.

    Keep your eye on gumtree and Junkmail. Usually good prices going there as well.

    Hi. If you can buy what you realy want, if you can afford it. A 3ft tank in CPT is around R300 new. A cheap 100 watt heater is anotehr R100 so does not sound to much if it's in good condition, but their is better bargains out their. You can probably pick up a complete 1.2m tank for a R1000 or less.

    Just my opinion.

    well said, and as its Xmas soon, the junkmail will soon have plenty of things for sale, so maybe wait a month or so? unless you pick up a real steal!


    in jan this year, i got a 3ft off junkmail, came with heater,wood,gravel,anubia,canopy, two HOB filters, stand and 10 fish for R500, the dude upgraded in Dec and needed the space. so keep that in mind!
