AHA all you people that score like, 1000 gal. tanks for practically nothing! I posted under the wanted section of my CL and someone emailed me!

I just picked up a 20 gal. tall tank( it is tall, but still longer than my 10?) AND a wooden stand FOR ABSOLUTELY FREEE!!!! So excited! She also included an undergravel filter( not sure if I will be using this), 2 HOB filters(including one Aquaclear w/ all new filter stuff), BRAND NEW heater, and the hood with flourescent lighting! (now that I have that on my one 10 gal, I will never go back to stinky screw in bulbs!) SCORE!!

Here is the pic she sent me:





Its still in the car right now, but hopefully I can get it out tommorow and fill it to check for leaks: which she says there are none! Then to play stocking and work on getting it set up. Will have to go get some more gravel, and find somewhere in my room for it!

I know I was always so jealous of you guys who find like, 50 gal tanks on your doorstep, or someone decides they no longer like fish and give you all this stuff! I was EXCITED!

Congrats, sounds like a good deal to me! :19: I would usually do something like that, but at the moment I really need to focus on getting some money together for the 500 I've been looking at. Still, great pickup, enjoy it! thumbs2:

Here it is! Would have preferred a black finish, not such a fan of the woodgrain...but thinking of giving up the four 10 gallons I have downstairs (just keep the one w/ the flourescent hood) and half the stuff I have for them!

Mom doesn't even know yet!
