Today I went to pick up my nephew from school and found this 85 gallon on the side of the road. So naturally I toke it. Needs some heavy cleaning but who could resist a free tank.

Well that's what the previous owner told me it was just before I pulled off. I haven't had a chance to get any measurements yet. Not sure yet I might make it my display tank and put my calico convict hoard in there.

Hopefully you can get it clean. Nice tank. I pulled 4 10gs out of the curb

Always nice to score free tanks.

Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention before that the glass is atleast .5" thick so I doubt it will bow under pressure.
