anyone else have a "backup" tank?

Ok in my fish room right now I have a 330, 100, 60, 55, and 40 breeders. It's in a relatively small room so safe to say it ie full.

BUT,
While searching Craigslist I found a 210 for less than $400. Tank and stand only. I am thinking about getting it and just keeping in storage to have when an upgrade is necessary, or if a tank busts a leak etc.
If nothing else I could resale this same tank and stand for $500 and make a little off it with the way the fish market is around here. Anyone else have a big tank in storage for similar reasons?

We only have backup tubs.

I've got a backup 60 tall that's not practical for normal use due to its narrow footprint but would suffice in an emergency for a few days.

Hmm does sound a little crazy to have the 2nd largest tank being a spare I admit, oh well i have done number things. Who knows it just may find its way into the house anyway

Good news, going to get the tank in the morning. I also worked out a deal with the gf to complete a few projects around the house and the tank can come in. I never expected that to happen but it is only after about 3 months worth of projects haha. Guess she still got one over on me there lol.

It would not make sense to me to tie up my money.
