I bought my 65 gallon tank at a garage sale this summer for $25.00. Off and on I worked on building the stand and hood, its been done for a month or so.

The tank is in front of my bed so this is what it looks like while laying in bed

Here is a fish

I moved this to show off.

Nice looking tank, your oscar is a handsome fellow.

Thanks, all the fake plants will be gone soon as I am going to spend a few $100 on live plants.

Very classy looking stand there.

Very nice, certainly don't need a TV with that in your room.

Buy plants with a grain of salt, my oscar is no fan of live plants.

Nice pics, I like the "view from your bed"! LOL!

Couldn't agree more. I certainly wouldn't spend $100 on plants with an oscar in there. Mine moves anything / everything to his liking. Maybe try $10 worth of plants first....
