The Best Day Ever!

I woke up today with a really bad case of [acronym:4767aecca8="Malaysian Trumpet Snails or Multiple Tank Syndrome, depending on context"]MTS[/acronym:4767aecca8].
I check Craigslist.com for tanks in my local area.
I find 3 great deals...... Lord help me.....

First one is: 55 Gallon Jebo tank and stand with filstar XP2, Rena Heater 200 watt and lights for 50$ In Sacramento. i bought it.

Second: 80 Gallon acrylic tank with stand heater and light for 50$ In Vallejo.... I promise you i bought it...

last but not least...... 55 Gallon tank. Just the tank 10$ Here in my local vacaville...... I bought it.
[acronym:4767aecca8="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:4767aecca8]!!!
So lets see... I now have....
A 5 Gallon
A 10 Gallon
A 20 Gallon
2 55 Gallon
A 80 Gallon

I think i went overboard. AND I LOVE IT!

Today was great! All i did was drive around in my truck and pick up some sweet tanks with my friends all day. i Now have a tank in every room in my house. should i put one in the bathrooms and kitchen too?!?!? lol
I cant wait to cycle them all and stock them.... I'm Juiced. its like 1:40 AM and im wide awake lookin at these tanks...

That is an incredible deal...even used that should have gone for $200+.

Don't laugh, I have tanks in my kitchen and bathrooms...even my pantry.

AshleyNichole you should check Craigslist.com its everywere. Not Just in [acronym:a2a41c40c0="Calcium"]CA[/acronym:a2a41c40c0].

[acronym:a2a41c40c0="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:a2a41c40c0] @ Toirtis. So tanks in my kitchen and bathroom arent such a bad idea. I might do the 83 gallon tank im building in wall of the bathrrom and run it into the closet of the room next to the bathroom.... but its just an idea....

Boricua, that's crazy! I am soooo celoso! [acronym:f14ba6709c="By the way"]BTW[/acronym:f14ba6709c], I had a tank in my kitchen for a while. Now it's in the dining room.

Well, off to craigslist.
