Last week I bought a 180 gallon 6x2x2 for 200 dollars with a stand and lid(no filters lights or anything else) and he threw in a free 54 gallon corner/bowfront tank in great condition with no stand or lid(I plan on making a custom stand and lid) the 180 gallon is old and looks like it has been resealed before(I resealed it again)and has some wear and tear on it but looks fine now that I cleaned it. The lid is also missing the hinge thing between the 2 prices of the lid but I don't really care. and I resealed it too. Assuming it holds water fine and i don't have any problems, how good of a deal did I get? Also the reason I got it cheap before anyone else did is because it was labeled ad a terrarium because the owner kept turtles in it even though is is a regular aquarium. My theory is that's why I got it before anyone else did.
 
Sounds like an excellent deal. :) you sealed it yourself that saved time and money, also my lids detached after 19 years of having my 180 just make sure the frame is intact. If the stand is not made of wood such as Oak I would either build or buy a new stand.

yea i just hope there arnt any problems, there shouldn't be though i dont see why there would be. the stand is in pretty good condition and I don't have money for a new stand or time to build one, plus the stand it comes with looks way better than anything me and my dad could put together. I may end up reinforcing it with some 2x4s though.

I'd say thats a pretty good deal, especially with the corner tanks bonus
Yeah, I was gona sell the corner tank but no one wanted it for more than 20 dollars so I decided to keep it. I don't know what I'm gona do with it yet. I do plan on doing larger fish for the 180 so maybe some smaller community fish with some smaller less aggressive cichlids so I have something diffrent than what's gona be in my 180.
