ok so i was surfing craigslist and for $450 they have a 250gal, with stand, with wet/dry filter and decorations!! so i called and they have already moved and are currently selling the house near mine and will be in town this thurday! so im going to call as soon as im out of work on thursday and hopefully this deal doesnt fall through!! i don't even know what to do with that much tank, but for that price!!

ahhh nice find!

You might be able to get the deal down to $400 or so.

You'll figure out what to do with it and be needing a larger tank soon

I say a betta .

The obvious answer is 200 tiger barbs.

That's awesome, what a deal! Hmmm, I know what I'd do with a tank like that. I'd put a ton of plecs in it.

well got it home and found a "chip" also its only a 125gal, i got it mixed up with a different one i was looking at. i have pictures of the small chip so you guys think this will affect the integrity?

It doesn't look too terribly bad. I can't see if it's cracking the front from the photo. If it was deeper or wider I'd worry.

its rounds off and becomes more shallow like a lake... smooth no sharp edges...

Hmmm I dunno about that, it's sorta hard to tell how bad it might be from the photo. I think if it was my tank I'd be really worried. Keep in mind there's going to be a huge amount of pressure on that glass when it's full.

Of course it's no good going back to who you bought it off of cause they'll just say it wasn't there when they sold it to you.


It looks to be about halfway up the tank ya? Maybe you could run the tank half full, keep some land critters at the top (so long as they don't nibble fishies ). I'd make sure the chip is on the front of the tank though so if it does start to seep water out you see it right away and don't keep filling the tank up thinking it's all just evaporation not that that ever happened to me ever .

Only being a 125 gallon makes it a less phenomenal deal, but still really good.

My 125 gallon that I bought used has a similar chip that I didn't notice until after having the tank up for a while. It's still okay after many years being set up.
