40 Breeder
So today I scored a 40b from the neighbor. They used it for some sort of reptile and it was sitting in their basement/garage for a while. I grabbed it for my EPT (Eastern Painted Turtle) when he gets bigger. I want to make sure I properly sanitize it and make sure it doesn't have any slow leaks. I filled it up to the top and it didn't leak so hopefully it's good. It was gross when I got it but I filled it up and emptied it and it already looks totally different. I was hoping to bleach it because they just emptied it and stuck it in their garage so it isn't very clean. I am so happy to have scored a free tank even though it's not the prettiest

Congrats, a good scrubbing with hot water and bleach, a very good rinsing and a week or so fill test should get her all set for you.

I think it's a custom. It's got a wood trim and it's a bit thinner then a 40b although he told me thats what it was. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow. I should have gotten a before and after, it looks totally diffrent even though I just rinsed it out!

It is an actual fish tank right? Reptile tanks aren't always sealed tight enough to be filled with water. Just my two cents.
