I'm finally upgrading!!

[Crispy]

So I've been talking about upgrading my 130 gallon tank for awhile to better house my big fish and I've finally come across a great deal worth scooping up.
190 gallon (72x24x25) predrilled tank with a beautifully made wood stand and canopy. 55 gallon wet/dry filter with 2x AC110s, and it comes with many extra filters/heaters/powerheads/etc. Put a deposit down on it and I can pick it up whenever I have the rest of the cash. Figuring end of the month/early october.
Picked it up for $500 from a retiree who can't move it to his new place. Still not sure what I'm doing with the 130, but I'm probably going to sell it.

With the 55 gallon wet/dry half full, I'll have about 215 gallons of water! I can't wait to have this baby all setup! I'm working on letting the gf let me keep both tanks setup, so we'll see what happens. :19: :19:

Congrats Crispy, awesome score! You gonna keep the goldies?

That's a nice looking tank for sure.

I thought when I bought my 150g. that'd be it, but now I'm looking for something in the 8' range. Big tanks are addicting!

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Labrat> no goldfish going in my tanks. Infact, I told him to get rid of the goldfish, ugly large gravel, and all the decor because I don't want to haul them all the way home just to get rid of it all. One nice piece of driftwood was all I wanted from inside the tank. :goldfish:

Beautiful tank Crispy. And a very good price, too. Put that on Craigslists and they'd want $3000 they're so nuts there.

Thanks Hobbs. I know, it's a steal! I couldn't even bring myself to haggle him it was so perfect. It's almost an hour away, so hopefully nothing happens on the trip home with it. >knocks on wood<
