and you guys would never believe my state of depression over the last week...i stumbled upon a local estate sale that the sons and daughter of their recently deceased father were holding for his possessions....looked on the back porch to see a MASSIVE 360gallon acrylic tank with 1" thick walls and a built in center overflow..it measured about 8ftx3ftx3ft....so i ask the guy how much...he says i just want it gone, $5....after wetting myself, i reached for the money as his brother walked up and says that their sister had already made a deal with another guy that if he took the fish that were still in the tank and hauled it off he could have it for free@@@@@@@@@!! i proceeded to make higher cash offers but the sister said it was too late...so sorry...i asked the sister for the guys number to see if i could make a deal with him regarding the tank..he said $1500. im still recovering.

but the guy was fish crazy..i still made out with a 30g tank/stand, a 10g, a 5g, a couple whisper filters, 6 air pumps, a powerhead, 4 bottles of de-chlorinator and a ton of miscellaneous fish junk for $5!!
 
i know...could you imagine though...they had a king size bed set at the sale as well asking $1000....yet they let the tank go for FREE??? some people just dont know what they have
 
Sometimes your in the right place at the right time! That acrylic tank would have been the shiznizzle though. I would have wet myself too. :lol: Congrats. :good:
 
yeah..also wanted to share some knoweledge with the us residents here..if you havent heard, go to craigslist.com and find your city..its a major localized classified listing and if you live in or near a big city you will find cheap tanks, livestock and equipment all day..just search the listings in your area if you are ever in need...i find great deals on there all the time
