This person finally texted me back. Said $85 for everything. That's more than I think it's worth because I'm going to have to paint it, and maybe reseal it. Plus I'm not gonna use any of those decorations or rocks or anything anyway. What's a good offer if it's in good shape when I get there?

Another 20 just popped up on craigslist. Tank, Stand, filter, lights, heater for $50. Needs cleanup and has been sitting. Asked for pictures, dimensions, and details on the extras.

Wow, that's plenty more than I expected. The dresser idea is 100% not going to work then. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I know that's way more than I plan on paying for it. I texted and asked what brand of filter it is and the dimensions of the tank. I haven't heard anything...

That's the experience I've read in a number of different threads. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a Eheim classic, maybe from kensfish.com. His prices are pretty hard to beat on all of his filters. I might see if a local place will come close to matching it so I don't have to worry...

Laminate MDF goodness that is of an indeterminate age. Probably about 15 years of abuse. I think that's how long this complex has been here. Found this on craigslist. What does everyone think? http://greenville.craigslist.org/for/2283412933.html

Read the Tank FAQ in your signature. Very good information thanks. I found a 20L on craigslist about 45 minutes away and when I texted about the condition the tank was in, what brand of equipment it came with etc, they just sent me back "Yes is 20L can buy w/o stand." Think I'm dealing with a...

I thought about that last night. It's not really trustworthy furniture, haha. The dimensions of the top of the sides (not the decorative actual top that over hangs some) are 30" by about 15" or so on the sides. So 3 sides would only be supported really well. I get the feeling that if I put it...

Will these lights put me in a situation where I have too much light?

Yeah, I think that's the trap I fell into. I just saw an amazing 20L on ptf without co2, ferts, or anything. I didn't realize something like this was possible. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/tank-journals-photo-album/103111-20l-downoi-farm-3-26-11-a.html

Thanks for the opinions! That's exactly what I made this thread for. I didn't realize what i had was a really high tech tank. Thanks especially everyone for the specific equipment recommendations. I don't have any experience to go on myself.

I had no idea this existed, and I will be signing up as soon as I get back from dinner. That's awesome!

Wow so many replies to fast! Thanks for the quick responses. I'll definitely check out the sunsun filters on Ebay. I had no idea I could get a good canister for $50. I was considering going ahead and dropping the dime on a full CO2 system because I could use it on a larger tank or two tanks...

I tried to come up with a thread title with good search terms too. It's so hard to be concise in that one line.

Hello. :hi: I figured it was about time for me to post this thread. I've wanted a tank off and on for a few years, and have been reading as much as possible for the past month or so. Being a poor starving older than normal college student, cost is of course an issue. Anyway. I'm looking...

Your tank looks really nice. I like the rocks in the front right. Congrats on the healthy livestock.

Excellent deal! I'm hunting a deal like that myself. Congrats.

I think I'm missing the Dark Blue that everyone else is looking at?

Blended in so well I didn't see it. :o

Link?

I'm looking around for a good deal on a tank with a 30" bottom. Looking forward to seeing what you come back with!
