So, I picked up the tank, the husband brought me out a tote full of filters and stuff. In the tote he had a magnum 350, and 3 power filters that hang on the back of the tank. Not sure what make they are though. One looks like it would be adequate for a 75-100 gal and 2 are smaller probably...

The tank is glass. Thanks for the suggestion about getting a piece of glass cut and putting that in. I had read it online when I did a google search but wanted to know if it was really something I could do. It is out on my back deck right now, was not going to bring something that size into...

Never thought to ask what happened to the trim. I already looked into new trim here (in Canada) will cost $80 for the top and bottom trim, plus $14 for silicon at Big Als. A new tank will cost $125.

So, I just picked up a tank a girl from work gave me. It is a 90 gal. No scratches that I can see, everything looks good, however, it is missing the trim from the top and bottom of the tank. I have been trying to look it up online and get conflicting information. I am wondering, if that trim...

Was lucky with the tank, actually had someone else contact me about wanting to sell their 100 complete for $150 but I have e-mail him back twice and phone twice and have not heard anything for him. As for set up, I have no idea at this point what I will put in it fish wise, I tend to prefer...

good idea about putting it in a covered area, I am not in any rush by any stretch of the imagination to get it up and running, I just want to make sure that when I do get it set up that I have a good grasp on everything, that and I don't want to have some catastrophe in my new basement. I...

So I went today to see the tank. It has a canister filter and a hang on back filter. No Canopy anymore but they do have the light parts from the canopy. I can make a canopy I found directions somewhere online. It looks very good actually. They bought the aquarium about 6 years ago, it did...

Thank you all for your opinions I am sure that by reading here and asking questions that once the time comes to set up I will be more confident than i am now. I am looking into purchasing a 100 gal complete, guy want $150 for it, still have yet to talk to him, have only e-mailed so I am still...

Been talking to the girl I work with and I am assuming that the tank is from before her and her husband were married, she has no idea what he has for it, says they might have the filters sill and by the looks of the pic she sent me it has lights. I am going to go take a look on Thursday afer...

I am new here(today) I am looking into getting a 90 gal from a girl I work with(has been empty for years), my concern is that I have never had a tank of this size. I presently have a 29 gal and that is the largest I have ever owned. My question is what do I need to know for a tank of this...
