| Well, I snagged another Craig's List deal - I feel like my luck really ought to run out soon!
I got a 45-gal with a stand (the 45 is a very nice dimension - tall rather than long), a Rena XP1, air pumps, and two full paper grocery sacks of all of the supplies you can imagine, plus a third one full of black gravel. Siphon hose (super long kind), light bulbs, nets, water conditioners, Melafix and Pimafix, charcoal, filter floss and filter bags, timed automatic feeder, air tubing... the list goes on and on. All for $50.
The guy was super nice, but just wanted all of the aquarium related items to be gone. I guess he was not having luck keeping fish alive and his wife did not think the tank went with the decor, so off I go with my prize!
I unfortunately had to remove the N. leleupi from the 150-gal because they were spooking the frontosa, and I was planning on selling the leleupi but I'd really like to keep them. I don't really need a 6th tank but this deal could not be passed up. The filter alone is $100 to buy new! | |

| THAT IS A GREAAAAT DEAL! Great find. Glad to see you got a good deal. 6 Tanks?? That's it? I smell more coming. If you wan't to start stacking just ask how Save some space! If you have any extra stuff you don't want save it for the VA meeting. Let some of the new commers have the goodies. I know some people are still paying store price for all there items. I like to give back and keep it with in the hobby...that way we all save a little $ | |

| Super deal. I have been afraid of looking at Craig's list, because of deals like this. You're right the filter alone is much more then you paid for everything. | |

| I have quite a collection of stuff that I will never use, or probably won't use, and I never turn anything down! I will definitely bring some stuff to the next meeting, for people who can get some use out of some of this stuff.
I have not started stacking tanks yet, Kory, lol, but we are not far off. My husband is a bit nervous about the added weight of this tank in my office, where I had planned to put it, so I might have to find a place downstairs, but we'll see how it goes.
I have actually downsized my tank collection, but am starting to build it back up, with new inspiration lately. Something in the air! | |

Forget the deal on the tank, I'd give anything to have a spare garage! | |
