Well after months of browsing Craigslist for my next good deal I found it last night. I thought I missed it because I responded 7 hours after it was posted but lucked out and was the first person, after 1 phone call I went and got it tonight. It's pretty dirty and will need a serious cleaning but that is what I wanted because it was cheaper this way, I got it for $110. It's a standard 125g 72" x 18" x 22" tank, glass with center brace. It's no 300g but I've wanted a 6ft tank forever so I am overjoyed. I'll make a stand and lid and get a cheap light since it's not getting planted or anything, it cost me enough to keep my 75g planted and lit, :nilly:.

Here are some photos, it BARELY fit in my little Honda. I am waiting for help to come over and assist me in unloading it.

I don't care for the faux wood grain so I will be sanding it down and painting the trim black, hopefully it will stick to the plastic. :)

Just wanted to share.

It will eventually be home to my Oscar, Pike Cichlid, Plecos, and Bichir. They are all babys growing up in other tanks right now.
 
Congrats! What filters will you be using?
 
:grinno:, yea I know it's a dorky car. It gets 30-40mpg though and cost nothing to insure but yes, still dorky.

gthiele you just gave me a funny idea. Maybe I'll leave the lame finish and name all my fish after the Griswold family from the National Lampoon Vacation movies where they drive that horrid wood paneled station wagon across the country. :ROFL:

Nah, likely not I want it black. I may even paint the back too. I've never done that before though.
