Krap101 – I do make good money, finished school almost 4 years ago and got a great job in the market research field. The key is to do as much research as you can and look in the Pennysaver, that’s were I found this tank. I got the entire tank, stand, hood, lights, sump filter, pumps, Coral (this was originally a saltwater tank), rocks, for only $1,000. It was used from a restaurant that went out of business so I picked it up. They had a matching one that was a little over 200gals selling for $800, but had no room for it in the house, already had a 135
gal tank, and girlfriend said no more tanks. Only thing I had to do to the tank was clean it out along with everything else to remove as much salt as possible and refinish the stand, hood, and side pieces. It was finish in an ugly brown stain.
Overstocker – I’ve been seriously into aquariums for about 8 months now and still a little nervous about trying a Saltwater tank. But might look into a small 10-20gal tank that my GF picks all the fish, coral, etc. It takes a lot of time maintaining this tank and the 135gal, and mowing the front/back lawn, washing my car, helping clean the house, anything else that needs to be done that the GF won’t or doesn’t want to do.
Fearlessfisch – Thanks for the compliment.
