Habitat - Indoor :: !!! (:

HI GUYS. I AM VERY EXCITED RIGHT NOW....

I have been searching and searching for a good deal on a new tank and I think I have found one! Someone in the same neighborhood ( OF ALL PLACES ) posted an ad on Craigslist for a 55 Gal with stand and accessories for $100. I emailed the owner, and am waiting for specifics. Even if the accessories are useless the tank and stand itself are a good deal. I'm so hoping that the tank is in good condition. Everyone cross your fingers and hope that my baby gets a new house. (:

It sounds good! Particularly if it comes with a decent filter.

Wow, lucky!

The owner of the tank emailed me back. They said they do not know what condition it is in, it has just been sitting in their father in laws basement? Hopefully it turns out to be in still usable condition. ):

I've decided against the craigslist find. The only accessories it came with was a castle, and rocks, and a few fake plants. I can order a 55 gal new off petco.com for 109.99, just 10 dollars more, and a 75 gal for 179.99. Sure it doesn't come with the stand, but I wouldn't have to worry about the prev. wear and tear. (:

Try also Big Als Aquarium store. Just another place to look. Any other pet stores in the area? I want to a local place and got a 50 gal tank for $79.
I hear that some places like Big Al's will have huge summer sales on tanks,
like $1.00 per gallon or something along those lines.
Good luck hunting and please post some pics when you get the new set up.
