ok, heres the situation, I know this girl ( yes i have a crush on her lol ) she has a 10 gallon tank, its a couple years old and has 2 small plecos, a blue gourami anda bala shark in it with some big rock cliff decorations and a couple small cheasy looking plants. I went over there yesterday adn never payed much attention to the tnak till now. She claims the gravel has never been cleaned since last febuary!!! the filter unit was last cleaned in the same time, and it has no filter cartridge in it just a sponge used for cleaning dishes, which fits perfectly actually lol. theres dried algea and calcium or lime all over everything and inside the tank algea is all long the bottom. I ask if she used any chemicals and she just use's her britta water filter for water. it uses two 25 watt bulbs and one is burned out, but yet through all this these fish have lived healthy for 2 years, there in great shape!!!!! So I started vaccuming the gravel with my equipment and she finally asked if i was intrested in the tank, i got tommorow to pick it up whoo hoo lol luckily i only live 1 street over so the ride won't be bad for the fish and i can set the tank up quyickly, to bad it won't have time to properly cycle, so what do you all think for a free tank and fish?
