My friend at the [acronym:ec8ab1cf31="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:ec8ab1cf31] is moving and he is trying to get rid of some of his stuff. So when I mentioned I had the money to buy driftwood finally, he said he had some he'd give me for free!! So now I've got 4 beautiful pieces of that african type wood. Two pieces are already in tanks, and I need to cut the other two down so they can fit... or buy the used 29 gallon tank he offered me for $60....

Awesome. Good deal.

Personally I'd buy the 29 gallon tank but in any case it sounds like a win-win scenario to me.

thanks guys. I don't think the 29 gallon is going anywhere too soon so I am going to sit on the idea for a while. I don't think I could have yet another tank running just yet.

Does the 'used' 29-gallon come with all of the accessories or is it just the aquarium?? If it is only the aquarium then $60 is WAY too much to pay for it. You can get 29 gallon tanks at PetsMart or PetCo for less than that.

it comes with everything (top, lighting, filter, heater, thermometer)... still, I'd need to find room in my itty bitty apartment. I have a spot in my room, but I already have TWO tanks going in there PLUS I want to convert a small corner into my art studio (and I mean a small corner...this room is maybe 10x10 with desk, dresser, twin bed, snowboard, bike...etc...)
