I bought a 30G tank on CL last week thinking I may try a species only tank for a change. My plan was to use a superb project report from another forum, to build a back drop, but try and make it have overhangs, and if possible caves. Not sure it's possible, but I'm thinking PVC pipe pushed into the deeper parts may be the reinforcement required to support the overhangs.

Anyway today was my first day off for a week, so I cleaned the limescale off, it had been used for snakes I think from the low water line, and filled it 2/3 with water, no signs of leaking. The light and canopy are good, some basic other stuff came with it, so a decent buy I thought.

Well we had to go into town, and called into Goodwill to look at their books and if there was maybe a small table to take the 30G (I'm going to use an Aquaclear 110 HOB, so no cabinet for a canister required), and what do I see? A damned near new 30G tank, with really clean light, small Tetra filter and a humungous vacuum .... for $25. Well darn it, I couldn't walk away from that now could I?

My girlfriend rolled her eyes, with that resigned air about her. And now I have 2 30G tanks.

Now where the hell can I put both of them I'm asking myself?
