What a day! It started off at 2am at a boy scout campout. Then I came home and had to get ready for soccer, when I finished I was looking at fish tanks and found a 28 gallon SW for 300! WITH STAND! My brother and I have 250 so we will take
a loan from our dad and we can get it!!! FINALY DECIDED ON OUR FISH TANK If you haven't been reading my threads I've been wondering for a month on what to get. We will most likely get a live rock setup with a clownfish and damselfish with some snails or maybe a shrimp. And when I was at petsmart buying mulch for my brothers Russian tortoise a friend of ours that I have know since I was 7 told me something... She had a friend who had a 40 gallon terrarium with the whole setup with 2 bearded dragons and said they needed a new home and that they were FREE So when I asked my mom and brother they said YES so my dad called the owner and told us Kay had sent us to her. My dad will pick everything after work. I'm getting a bearded dragon! Now my brother has 2 and I'm going to have 1! So today basically my brother and I decided on a 28 gal nanocube with a stand and we got a 40 gallon bearded dragon setup with 2 bearded dragons.




The reason why the lady was giving them away was because her daughter wasn't taking good care of it.


Any ideas on the nanocube and what to buy?

Welcome and glad to hear you got that bearded dragon setup for free! It's my favorite price lol. So the nano comes with everything, everything right? $300 seems a bit pricey to me. For $350 I built a double-tank stand and sump ($80), bought a filter ($30), powerheads ($55), and skimmer ($85). already had a 40g breeder from the $/gallon sale at the chain store which was only $40 and factored that in there somewhere.

:cheers:

$300 is too much. Keep looking. I bought a 46g with lights, filter, stand, etc and full of live rock along with fish for $125. This week I am getting a 50g with rock for free. Deals are out there, but this isn't one.

I feel TERRIBLE. Lenny who is mine killed jim (my brothers baby beardie) Jim was in front of Lenny and Lenny got to him RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Jim suffered for 2 hours with internal injuries then passed away. ;( ;( ;(
My brother HATES Lenny even though we told him it was a bad idea. I'm sad and I feel terrible Lenny did that.
