Let the fun begin, 60 Gallon fish only

[JoeG]

Found a 60 gallon acrylic tank with stand and canopy for $100.00. Let the fun begin!
After a little cleaning up I've decided to paint the back of the tank.

Thinking This is where it will stay

Nice looking tank and GREAT deal!

Great find! If you can, pull it out from the wall 8 to 12" minimum to give you room to work back there. I don't see the tank drilled so your going to have something hanging off the back if not sooner or later you will have to get back there. Have fun!

Wow! What a steal! Hope you don't get locked up for that!

Now for the fun part. Shopping for lighting, filters, power heads etc..

Great find!

OK, did a little early xmas shopping. Picked up a coralife 48" duel 28 watt T5 light fixture, Marineland emperor 400 filter & aqua clear 70 powerhead. 12/02/11 added 2 bags fine sand and filled with water. (Like many tanks here in S Florida the water is straight from the ocean)

Now to let the dust settle. Meanwhile...
First Test

Looks like a little fresh water is needed.

If you don't already have one, you should think about getting rid of the swing are for this or one like it. Look great, have fun!
