Last night I bought a 55 gallon tank off of craigslist. It came with everything pictured. But no hoods, & no heater.
A good deal or no?
(I personally don't need a heater. W/O one the tank stays at 76-78 degrees.)

All for $61

Pictures:

These are horrible, but bear with me. My Nikon is broken *sigh*.

Tank. Not very good, really poor overhead lighting combined with lamp on top doesn't make a very nice picture. :)

Stand. An even worse picture. I couldn't get the darn thing to stay still. :rolleyes: (Measures 38 inches high, 58 inches across...HUGE. and heavy!)

Filter. Blurry & bright. /: Aquatech 30-60

Air pump. (Pretty big)

They gave me this thing. I don't know what it's called, but it connects all the airpump-things/decorations. LOL. You can control which one's are on, which one's are off, etc. etc. Pretty handy.

Two of the airpump-decorations. One's a clam [that the lady said used to be purple] and the house-thing.

Random stuff she gave me. Said she was ready to get out of the freshwater hobby and into the saltwater.

Light bulbs. No hoods, just 2 18" bulbs.

Also came with 3 long finned zebra danios, 1 regular danio, 1 HUGE common pleco, and some kind of loach.
She also had some shrimp and fly larvae, but that's in the fridge and It's honestly way tooooo nasty to even think about taking a picture of it. :yuck:

I plan on re-scaping the tank soon.
 
Nice find!
 
is that live shrimp?????
 
Looks like a very good deal!
 
is that live shrimp?????

Nope. What she gave me is this really nasty canned stuff that has to be refridgerated.
She also gave me some freeze-dried brine shrimp.


I also found out what the "loach-thing" is!
Lol, a yo-yo loach. He's just a little baby, so I never would've guessed it. He barely even looks like a yo-yo loach. :)
 
thats a really good find, hope it all works out for you.
 
that should be a good filter and air pump....the valve thingy is called a gang valve.
 
Thanks. Anyone have any suggestions about what I should stock it with? I'm giving the fish in the tank to a friend.
 
DUDE!!!! SWEET BASKET!!!!
