OMG!! Now Ziggy... where are you going to put that? Not too long ago you posted a pic of you living in a refridgerator box. You must have moved into a much bigger box, lol.

Seriously, I've been wondering how everything's going for you Zig. Did you find a new job? I've been hoping you're doing well. I'm the one that offered to let you move your box to my back yard, remember, lol.

Back to the thread topic: That is an incredible find!!!! Why can't I find anything like that. I sure hope you get it.

[petluvr]

Are those people nuts just the lights alone are worth a mint.

[The Zigman]

Still no job, but this tank should be more weatherproof than my current Maytag box!!

IDK where I would put it. but lets face it, if any one of us had it, we would find a place for it right??

Hold up those meaurements can't be right that works out to 3236 gallons of water.

[The Zigman]

I do have access to a forklift, a Semi and lowboy trailer, and a few strong guys..
If this ad is for real.. I could get this soon.

I have 5 empty 40 gal tanks I would have to fill with the tank water, and temporaraly house the livestock... might have to buy a stock tank to transport the fish...

Might go nuts thinking about it...
But its probably a bogus ad...

Hopefully I hear something soon!

I could put wheels on it, and make a concession trailer out of it!!

BAH ha ha ha!!

If whoever it is is for real they apparently have a lot more money than sense.

[BettaFishMommy]

even if you don't have space for it to be set up now, how can you pass up a deal like that?!?!?!?!?!?!?

exactly!

[jm1212]

OMG ZIG! you live near Chicago!

you can drop it off at my house!!

(my basement is plenty big enough :D)

[gt1009]

Ah I can't believe it. I browse the craigslist free adds every day and the one week I'm out of town this comes up. Good luck with it and hopefully its a real tank. Post Pics!

[Luvbugz]

*grumbles something about being three hours away*

If you do get this tank, you better post pics! I can't believe someone is just giving it away for free. The livestock alone in that thing must be worth thousands!

[Reefscape]

lol....might be just me, but, this does not seem like its legit.....no-one in their right mind would give this away for free...seriously...lol

[cam191919]

the dark side always finds a way

[OgreMkV]

Your going to need a thousand 10 gallon buckets to carry all that stuff...

Take the live stock to a LFS for store credit, also the extra lights. Then set it up nicely and slowly... good luck.

sigh... everyone here wants a million dollars for a 20 gallon reef with PCs and no skimmer.

[The Zigman]

I dont think its a legit ad anyway..
And I would make a HIGE FW discus tank outta that beast and sell most all of the SW equipment..

Still waiting to hear from the owner...

[BettaFishMommy]

any updates?

[Star_Rider]

I dunno we had a local fish store go Out of Biz a few months ago..they unloaded all their tanks including including several display tanks for free.

they just had to get them out of the building.

my buddy got a 75 from them.

[The Zigman]

I havent heard anything back from them yet.

[mel_20_20]

I'd put it in my back yard and go swimming, lol. Well... floating anyway.
