Congrats on the new tank pick ups for a great price, the local thrift stores near me sell a 10G with incandescent hood for $40!

they also had 2 others..one had a broken frame support and i didnt have a place or a storage place to put the other..they also had about (8) 30g for 10 each and about 20 twenty gallons for 5 each.. (also the wife was with me and also questioning me on where i was gonna put the 4 i bought..lol)

of course that was tank only...no stands, tops or lights...but i had the materials to build stands, had LED lights in closet along with filters powerheads pumps ect... and glass is readily available at the local hardware store for a very reasonable price..glass topped all 4 tanks for under 30 bucks...so for about 17.50 each tank out of pocket expense and use of items in closet i got 4 new set ups...

actually i have/will set up like my salty set ups with sumps...water changes will be easy as pie...un plug sump return pump..drain sump via submersible pump/hose...use wet/dry vac to clean sump change filter floss(wash used filter floss in fish usage washer thats never seen soap)..add new water to sump..plug in return pump next day..water change done...lol
