My tank is here!
I got my free 75 gallon today. It came with a metal stand, a big aquaclear fliter (not sure which size) another gravel vac (I have 4 now, including my python, that people have given me), a glass top, a light, and the tank. I will get the heater, thermometer, and decor soon!

Congrats, a new tank always is something special, and 75 gals, a nice size also.

@Cabrego,
At my LFS, I was joking around about how I can't afford any more tanks. I can, but my family says "you have enough tanks. Its like a drug. Sure its good, but you don't know when to stop". So anyways, he pulls me aside and tells me he has a customer getting rid of a 75 gallon with everthing included. So I picked it up today and that's where I'm at!
@gm,
There will be....
1 rhamdia catfish (if I can find one)
3 firemouths
1 jack dempsey
1 nigaragua cichlid
@Rue,
I don't think you need pics- its just an empty tank on a stand.

Here is the tank, if you really want to see it:
I got back from rock hunting about half an hour ago, and here are all of the rocks I found. The one on the bottom is 12" x 6"
