    @f-fish is the Boyu 550 a good tank, in terms of the lighting, pump and filter?

    Have considered getting one for myself.

    @Phinix .. I like it got mine way back for R2400 - will not pay the current price > R4000, it is a marine tank, so lights probably need replacing to 6500k vs 10 000k only doing mine now ... loads of filtration space, pump ok the rest so so ... removed the uv, protean skimmer also the boyu heater after the first winter. Worth 4k? NO 2,5K - maybe - keep an eye out for failed salties .. they sell them cheap. Good clean should get you a nice FW tank.

    Later F

    thanks for the info. I actually found the tropical aquairum version of this tank, it was around R1700. so will probably get that.

    You can get the tank (same as the TL550) without all the marine stuff for much cheaper. comes with a normal FW filter etc

    @f-fish,

    Nice tank! What is the size of the tank and which lights are you using.

    This tank reminds me of the cheaper one called Jebo_R338. Right ?
