NOPE. THEY ALREADY KNOW...

my last attempt at having a tank ran me over $3k in a year..I'd rather just "lease/rent" a tank for my house...
that's the main reason I really don't feel like investing $$$$ just to have stuff die again....

i know that creative oceans in Tampa does tanks for lease. they drop it off set it up and care for it. lots of companys and places like dr offices do that. for the price however you might as well buy a new set up and do your research. this hobby really is not hard at all as long as your READ READ READ and then READ SOME MORE.

The best Place for equipment is big Als. but like they said shop around. There are plenty of local places where they will maintain the tank for you, but I have never heard of one leasing a tank! depending on where you go, they will come out to your house 1-2 times a week, check water, add fish, ect. Whatever you want, they'll do for a price! Not sure where you buy your fish, but if you find a good place and maintain good quality...they'll live a long time. I do 99% of my business at Exotic Aquatic on Oakland Park. When you have them come service ur tank, I know they offer a longer Guarantee then normal. I have had great luck with them. Good luck...and tell us where you used to buy ur fish! Pet World in the Tower shops is the WORST place ever if thats where you used togo!!

I would call up Reef's Edge in Ft. Lauderdale. He does a lot of specialty tanks for various customers and clients. He's got great prices as well!!

Used to buy some of the fish at Beverley's In pembroke Pines...as well as a few smaller shops down in Miami. It was more of a constant water issue than the fish...That and the infestation of bristle worms...
It's been a long time since I broke down my 44gal hex tank...Now I am getting the itch again and am thinking about getting back into it...
I called Reef's edge...talked to Katie over there...just need to find time to make it over there.....and see what they come up with...
