Hey everyone
Good news to share.
Just popped down to my lfs today afterschool to get some fishfood, and saw this appealing second hand 4ft tank.
It has a crack down the bottom, but very well fixed by the lfs owners.
It's is a 55G, usually costs around $150 here but I got it for $40.
Just needs a bit cleaning, checked for leak, everything is in running condition.

Now.....when do I have a whole day to clean the thing:

Good deal, but make sure that the tank is well fixed (sealed) & well cleaned, before filing it up.
