200g Native Tank (in Progresss)

[MinnowMagnet]

I recently bought this 200g for 50 bucks off a friends uncle, it has lights a stand, but no filter. It is a bit scratched up, so i am gonna buff it out this weeek. I got some canister filters from a guy at a local fishing shop who also keeps natives so now i start the long road of getting it setup. My stock in this tank will be: 1 warmouth, 2 green sunfish, 1 bluegill, 1 readear sunfish, 1 bluegill x green sunfish, 1 warmouth x green sunfish, 1 white crappie, 1 yellow bullhead and one 10" spotted pike charican. Let me know what u think, i will update this thread with pics as i make progress on the setup. here is a pic of the tank.

i am planning to get another 200g+ at the end of the year and stock it with a 12" white catfish, one 12-14" inch lmb and one 12-14" smallmouth bass.

$50 bucks is a great deal for all that. Those scratches will take some work to get out but it will look good when your done. That's pretty much exactly what I am looking for, a big cheap tank that I can put natives in. I've been looking at Craigslist for a while but haven't found a good deal yet.
