well, as long as the liquor doesn't cost more than $100 bottle and the tv isn't 60", it sounds like you got yourself an awesome bargain.

I got 9 potted plants+all kinds of runners for 4 Euros from my lfs. That's something about 6$ i believe. It was enough to plant my 30 gal quite densely. (It includes Java fern, Ludwigia, Valisneria, Cabomba, and some more....)


I guess the lady at my lfs really likes me......normally for 9 potted plants alone you pay at least 27 Euros. She said she had to 'clean out the plant tanks', although all of these plants look perfectly fine!!!!

I once bought a quarter for 2 dimes because I told my brother 2 is better then one.

Then again he just beat me up after the trade and took his quarter back.

Chilly what's the got to do with aquariums? Nothing but it teaches you never try to trick someone who's much larger then you!

29 Gal Eclipse with everything you need to start a SW Tank for $250. This included, tank, stand, lights, test kit, filter pads, salt, heater, food, dechlorinator, hydrometer, digital thermometer, automatic weekend feeder, and a coupon for 20 lbs of SW sand. Is this a deal or what?

 

[aimeeo]

I bought a 160 gal tank with wood stand and hood for $400. All in excellent condition. No filter or decor. Was this a good deal?

 

[revhtree]

Sounds like a GREAT deal! Does it have built in overflows?

 

[aimeeo]

No. It is drilled in the bottom I don't have that kind of filter though, so I went to Lowes last night and created my own plugs with pvc parts and o-rings.

 

[revhtree]

Is this for fresh or salt. If it is for salt you don't want to plug it.
