[cooqiemonsta]

Hi, im planning on opening a fish store in my country saltwater to be exact, since there is only one in the whole country that only sell saltwater fish. I want to know what are those fish holding tanks called that hold and divide the fish. Ive found one on ----, but doesnt really tell me what it is specifically called. Here is a pic, please tell me what its called because i am planing on buying two of them.

I asked the friend I have who owns a fish store. Believe it or not it is a regular tank, he puts the dividers in himself. The supply place has the dividers. They have holes in them to let the water flow but seperate the fish.

alright but there has to be a specific name for the tank, just as there is for other diferrent shaped and formed tanks.
Anyone?

I have watched two lfs's start up around here and in both cases, the owners made their own tank set ups and racks. Just used small acrylic tanks, drilled each in the back and used a lot of pvc pipe to connect all of them together. There is one main line running behind all of the tanks and splitters going in/out of each. In this type of setup, you need to pull the whole rack off the wall a few feet so that you can walk behind them to service and clean.

I've seen them called all kinds of things, but most generically they are referred to as "retail systems"
I also agree with the previous posters who talked about doing their own setups. I've been to many fish stores where they did this, it's cheap and effective.

alright thank you i guess ill jus have 2 make my own custom stand to hold the tanks together and do filtration myself.
