Marineland LB12 lobster tank

[downlinx]

Guys, i have the opportunity to get a free Marineland LB12 lobster tank that is in great condition. There are not many scratches on the surface and what are can be buffed out.

My question is, is it worth it to get one and convert it to a a freshwater tank?
Not necessarily a native cold tank but maybe something like a cichlid tank?


(This is not the exact tank, the one i have the chance to get is black. Picture is just for reference)

Coooooool. Heck of an UGF built in :thm: . Shame the top isn't flat, would make a great cocktail table.

Heck yeah you should get it! Why pass up a cool tank that not many people have seen except for grocery stores! And you don't have to use the chiller, make it into whatever type of freshwater you want.

ummmm its free. Yes. You never know it could be a neat tank. I would get it and if you decide you dont want it just put it on craigslist for someone else to get.

Take the top off, turn the chiller off, and turn in into a palladarium. In black it could be pretty cool.

That would make a really cool looking fish tank. The guys from TANKED would jump all over it.

A palladarium would be awesome, i never thought of that.

you are right, but i dont think it would be a good ray tank do you?
