Naturally...after I spent hundreds of dollars starting my tank, one came up for sale from someone at my workplace. She'd had the tank for about 10 years and her last fish had just died so she was ready to get rid of it. She only wanted $125 for everything, so I snagged it since the tank and stand alone would be more than that.
The only problem is that when I picked it up today, I couldn't get the stand in the car with everything else, so I couldn't re-set it up right away...and I couldn't go back today and get it. She's bringing it to me tomorrow. The rock is wrapped in wet paper and placed in plastic and the substrate is in a bucket. So my question is...are my chances of salvaging any of the biology shot because the rock/substrate is having to sit outside the tank? I guess if I have to start completely over, it's not that big of a deal, I was just curious. It's a 46 gallon bowfront and there's a lot of rock and coral that came with it.
