biomekanic Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 With the rules in my apartment about tanks ( anything over 20 gallons is classed as a pet, and you're limited to 2, and we've already got one dispensation because we have 2 dogs and 2 cats ) I'm not going for a reef tank. I'm looking for a 15g tall style aquarium, I'm going to do a FW planted tank. I need one that hasn't been used with copper because I'm going to get FW shrimp in it. Have to scratch my invert itch somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankIt Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 tanks in apts. If you have renters insurance you can get coverage depending on who you go through. I have state farm and I have $75,000 worth of coverage which includes aquarium damage. The last 2 apts I lived in told me I was not allowed to have a tank over 20 gallons so I showed proof of my renters insurance and they allowed me to move in with no pet deposits for them. My renter insurance equals out to $15/month but it lowers my car insurance another $3/month to have it so for the cost of 3 starbuck's coffees I have coverage in case of anything and no pet deposits. I definatly recommend renters insurance to anyone renting especially with a tank for those OH NO momments! and I recommend state farm who I have had for 4 years and will never switch! Just my 2cents........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomekanic Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have renters insurance, it's just that if I went over 20gallons they'd require another pet deposit: $350 non-refundable. I have better uses for $350. I'd like a 15tall because I have a 10g stand already and my 96quad PC lights will fit nicely on it. I'm looking for a small tank for my bedroom. With the 2 dogs we have ( a Boxer/Sharpei & German Shepphard/"something with a fat head" - per the vet ) I can't let my cats out of the room. :| So I was thinking a small planted tank to help keep them entertained. Both of my cats have watched aquariums before. I figure a planted tank would also be quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankIt Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 PET DEPOSIT I understand I am just saying I got both the apartments I lived in to wave the deposit for my aquarium since I had renters insurance...... Just giving you a thought........ Good Luck finding tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
