I just and picked up a 4 foot long 55 gallon tank and nice black wood stand for $85 delivered to my home.
The center plastic brace on the tank is snapped is this a big deal?

thanks
 
U got the deal of ur life! I got a perfectly new 30 gal tank with stand and alot of accessories for 15 bucks!!!
 
not a bad pickup, with the center brace broken just be careful as the tank could possibly bow out, it'd probably be in your best interest since you havent' got it set up yet to order a new frame for the top and replace it, otherwise just keep the water a few inches down and i think you'd be okay.

i just missed out on a free 55 gallon with stand filters fish etc because i was at work ;\

Good deal!! Do you plan on filling the tank all the way up?? Or are you going to use it like a terrarium or something...
 
I will fill it all the way up, I wouldn't of thought much about the plastic piece but I'll get it fixed or silicon a piece of glass across the top of the tank as a center brace.

thanks
 
I got a 55 gallon for free with a broken brace. From researching around the internet, if you dont get it fixed, the tank will bow. The brace is there for a reason. A glass tank bowing is dangerous.
 
I got the same deal for my tank in FL. I no longer own it but I sold it for the same price!
 
How do you like the GT's? I got a Jack Dempsey again today over a GT. I got a Red Devil and a the Jack Dempsey right now in a 55g. I used to own more fish but had to move to NM. I do love how adult GT's look though, specially the ones with orange along the fins, beautiful fish right there.
