Well yesterday I woke up to my mom asking if I wanted to go garage sailing with her. She said she only wanted to go to one place and in the listing it said that they have aquariums. I agree and get ready and we go out. It looks like they are getting out of the hobby, python with a $5 price tag, 14 gal biocube with a $5 price, and protein skimmers for $5 then theres a 75 sitting in the grass, a 60 squareish tank and stand, 20 long, and a 15 gal critter cage sitting there. We start asking the woman how much she wants for different stuff and shes like "Oh , $50 for the big grey tank (60 gal) $50 for the other big tank (75 gal). I was jumping with excitement on the inside and then my mom asked how much for everything fish related. The woman thought for a minute then told us $150 for everything. Needless to say we took the whole lot, all the tanks were SW and I have lots of equipment (Jebo Light the 4 prong U-Shaped tubes i think thats T-12, x2 protein skimmers, 1 is a remora aquac 1 is a small air pump operated one, pumps, lids, stands for both tanks, there is so much stuff that i am not going to list it all) I figure I got between $1000-$1500 worth of stuff :D yay garage sales!!!!

NICE!
Wait till mom gets the electric bill.:)=:(

shhhhhhh dont tell anyone, anyways i have 20 tanks up and running now :grinno: :headbang2
 
congrats! my personal best was a 125 with tank stand lights and heaters for free!! You gotta love people with money who run out and buy a big tank thinking fish are low maintenance then lose interest and just want the tank outta there house cause the water stinks
 
just the other wk my wife was at a yardsale and called me to say, "hey there s a decent size tank here for $25" so i get ready get outthere and see a 55g tank. it was dusty but is in perfect condition so i handed the guy $25.it came with the following-rena xp4, marineland 280, some tetra or whisper filter, 2 400w hydor heaters, 20' python, nets, chemicals hoods and lights and some decor. all for $25! i was so happy. yardsales are great!
 
Wow thats cool!
 
thanks and yes woot for yardsales!!!
