Yep found a deal on a used tank I could not pass up.
~50 gallon 4'. Almost exactly the same size as my first 50.
Glass top
~Light that needs a new ballast probably, new tubes at least. I think I am going to rebuild it.
~2 HOB power filters of currently unknown make and model but said to be functional relatively recently.
~A huge airpump with 4 outputs.
~What looks like a battery operated gravel vac, not sure if all the parts are there.
All was offered for $150 obo. It was an all or nothing deal, left behind by a sister in law. I took it away for $100. I probably could have talked her down further, but I got such a deal on my last tank I figured what the heck. I am still ahead of retail for sure.
Now the question is do I use the old filters or get a new filstar? They are still on sale at drfostersmith.com for a REALLY good price.
Tank is several hours into leak testing and looking good so far!
