I just picked up a 75 gallon all glass aquarium for $50 just the tank ... it is one without a center brace the glass is half inch thick. it is wood trim tho and i was wondering if i could paint the wood black to be like my other one? now all i need is to build a bigger stand and get a filter and gravel. i have yet to see how well it holds water but the tanks condition seems quite fair. compared to the 75 tank i bought for $180 with braces and 1/4 inch glass. i bought this for my two blue acaras and was also wondering if i might be able to keep anything else on the smaller side with them?
Good Buy??

As for the stand it would be holding 2 - 75 gallon tanks. i like the setup of this stand.

i am going to be building the top and bottom from 2 x 6 pressure treated lumber and build the top and bottom with braces in between like a floor. and for the corner legs use 6 x 6 wondering tho if i could use for my 4 center legs 4 x 4's or go again with 6 x 6s to support the weight? the stand will prolly be around 10' in length and about 24" in width and for the top instead of plywood i was going to use two 2 x 12 pressure treated. any opinions please?

price is alright... i guess from a socal perspective it's a bit on the common side (but that's cuz we are spoiled for choice).
the glass is really nice and thick though so in that sense it's not too bad.

My opinion is that is a GOOD buy 
They are selling for that around here like hot cakes the last couple weeks... But that is not a regular price./.. usually 75-100.00 here

Any tank thats a buck per gallon or cheaper is a steal IMO. Are the Blue Acara's a breeding pair?
