I just got a 100 gallon tank for 150 bucks. No leaks are anything. I just need to selling a stand . It was kind of sad the people buying it were in debt, and a friend told me to try to haggle the price down but I could ont bring myself to do it .

That was before this post found out that he really had a 55 gal . I don't no if they got me good , or i they did not know themselves but always watch out when you are getting stuff from E-bay or the List.

Nice scoop! What's the footprint of the tank? You may end up needing to make a stand for it :S

[joeybsmooth]

Footprint ? If it is what I think it is it is like a bt over 5 feet.

[BullDog]

Footprint is length x width. I've never seen a 100 gal in person, so I don't know how big it looks...

[joeybsmooth]

Dang I got scammed it was only a 50. I guess I will eat it, because that is how much 50 gals are any way, but still grind my gears .

[BullDog]

Really? Can you call the people on it? What are the dimensions?

If it were me, I'd call them up and confront them...

A quick way to determine how many gallons is (length x width x height)/231

so it is like 55. I think I am going to resale it.

But I should have known better , his house was kind of scary. I don't to go back and confront him . And I am a pretty big guy.

sorry to hear that bud, yeah the dangers of buying from somebody else. glad i found that tank calculator here before i get one i'm going to ask for the footprint first. hope you can sell it and get you another one cheap.

If my misfortune can help out even one other Forum member than I am a little bit happier .

[zoologist]

ouch, that sucks! do you have any use for the 55g?

[joeybsmooth]

Yeah I can use it to upgrade, but if I was going to spend 150 on one I could have gotten one with a stand .

I reposted it on C list.
