Nice!
I thought I was lucky when I dug a 30 gallon tank from someone's trash.
Wow, that's a terrific find!

Holy crap that is the luckiest find I think I have ever heard of! Best I've scored so far were a couple of 30's with all stuff included. But a 90? Man oh man! Spring cleaning came early LOL

Ask the salties. There are a bunch of folks in the SW forums that know how to hook up the plumbing for the sump. Did you by chance score a return pump with that setup? :)

Do the two towers fit IN the sump?
If so. They'd go in their. And hook up to the drain(from the over-flow).
And from the first pic. Move the pump to the right end of the sump, and everything should somewhat fall in place. ;)

OMFG!!! you *******!
I never find anything for free... expecially not awesome stuff like that
strange that they would throw a nice tank like that out... I can see not wanting it.. but why not sell it?

the pump fits in the bottom of the corner stand and is plumed through to the larger stand,the two towers fit in the larger glass thingy with these little pvc stands,they both have tubing running out of the bottom(no idea what their for)i'm sure i can figure it out but any help would ummm ahhh HELP.

WOW..THIS THING CLEANED UP SWEET!!:drool:Can you believe they just wanted to be rid of it :screwy:they didn't even want to take the time to sell it!:screwy:I'll get some pic's as soon as i get it up and running,i have to shift around alot of water to fit it in.You guy's gotta see this FREEBIE:dance::dance::dance:
Well I am glad you found it in Michigan, if it were near me and I missed it I would be real upset right now.
I have found 2 tanks about a year apart at the curb in front of the same house near my work. It makes me look forward to going to work on Wednesdays.

I'd guess they are just to give the water some flow direction.
Can you get us some more pics?

NICE! Wouldn't it be hilarious if they sold it to someone, and told them, "Hey, just come pick it up by the curb..." :D
