I just recently pick up a 240 gallon tank about couple weeks ago for cheap, only $250 plus I give him few of my unwanted fishs:D. Its came with a weird stand and a canopy. What a deal!!!:WHOA:

Anyway, I am setting that baby up.. not done yet but planning to get it all done by this weekend.. Let me know what you guys think?

I'll start to post pics soon..
 
Can't wait for them pictures.

About what part? I think you got a pretty good deal. Are you asking about stocking suggestions?

I am a CA Cichlid fan so I say a few Lyonsi. Quite a few sellers with them right now and they are endangered or enthreatend.

You could also put some different Vieja in there. There are quite a few showy species and they have some great colors.
 
This tank came with 6 hole on the bottom of the tank. I guess it used toi run on a canister filter. I'm switching to a wet & dry.

Few pics of it getting plug up and silicon seal..

You going to use the same stand? This an addition to your 300g?
