Well, I have a friend who was going to sell me a 125 gallon tank.
about a week ago, he called me about a 150 gallon tank. Naturally, I was interested, so I called the person who was selling it and asked to see it. When I did see it I was amazed! The amount of stuff I got is incredible.
I Got:
6 foot, 150 gallon all glass aquarium
6 foot full pine cabinet stand
GIGANTIC fluval canister filter
custom glass hoods
light fixtures + extra lights
3 beautiful peices of driftwood (largest being over a foot long, all of them with slate bases)
15 gallons of gravel
TONS of plants
2 extra HOB 110 gallon filters
4 new heaters ranging 100W-250W
4 air pumps
3 air strips
25 foot long python hose
insane amount of decorations
tons and tons of chemicals (pH up/down and various treatments for diseases)
and 20 Convict cichlids.
I originally thought that i was only getting the tank, stand, hood and filter. I would have been thrilled with those alone! In any event, when I told my friends about the deal, they thought that I was going to get a tank in awful condition. They were totally wrong! Its gorgeous. I touched up the stand with some murphys wood soap and its lovely. All in all, it took about 8 or 9 hours to move, clean, and set up my new tank. I have to say it was worth all the work.
Now, I got so much stuff, and I haven't really given what I payed. Can anyone guess?
I'll post pictures within a day or so!
