About a month ago someone found a little tank whilst out and about at work, it was dumped at the side of the skip. So after a couple of weeks it was still there so i decided to take it. Turns out someone was going to take the following weekend...oh well, should have took it sooner! 
It was just the bare tank so in theory i needed a heater, a filter and eventually a light. I got talking to someone else from work the same afternoon when he saw me with the tank in the van. He said he had a couple of old heaters from when he used to keep fish which he kept for brewing beer (Thats when he lost me, lol) The next day he brought me in a Rena 50w heater and a Rena 100w heater, only thing missing was the suction cup holder things, 99p for a holder from my LFS. So that 99p so far... I already had a filter that came with a tank i bought a few months ago from Hackmaster. Tank is also bare bottomed so no cost there either, although i do have spare sand, coloured gravel and natural gravel should i decide otherwise.
Although tonight i nipped to P@H and came away with a little filter jobby that fits on to a air pump so thats another £5.69 to add to the cost of the heater holder. I bought this as i thought my Fluval 4 plus was a bit of an overkill for a 30 litre tank.
But the best bit is the background... A lovely piece of wallpaper from B&Q, it was a sample obviously!!! haha!! Proper tight! lol.
So basically got a 30 litre tank for the grand total of £6.58! Bargin at twice the price!
Currently being used to house about 25-30 Swordtail fry.
I'm in need of a clamp on light if anyone could help, looked on ebay but don't want to spend £20 on one when it's basically a fry tank and has cost so far, less than £7!!
