My best CL deal yet!

[fobrinkle]

So I got lucky and was the first one to respond to a posting on craigslist. I was able to get my hands on a 280 gallon acrylic for $175. Dimensions are 72"x30"x30". Has an overflow built in the middle of the back. There is one stress crack on the top by one of the corners of left opening.
My buddy was nice enough to pick it up for me. I wouldn't have been able to get to it till Thursday and I am sure it would have been gone.

THere aren't many scratches, just the coraline algae. I think that is what it is called.

It is beefy. Top and bottom are 1" and sides are like 3/4".

Shouldn't be too bad to clean it. Going to have to make a stand for this and my 150. Maybe design it with a sump underneath for both tanks. Not sure what is going in it yet. Arro/PBass/Dorado/GATF/Piraya, so many options now.
