this will be my showcase betta walls when I do my fish store, they date back to the 1950's and came out of a hardware store in rural sask., it will be so cool when I set it up as the fish will be able to see the one beside it and it is rewired to run all six tanks of a single plug.
I also have a few other ones, like this one that I got from a guy who was about 70 who had had guppies in it since he was like 12 or so. had quite the story behind it and came with a killer antique stand.
Hey, I have 8 metal framed aquariums like that as well! My LFS was going to throw them out so I grabbed them for free. They have a little bit of rust on them on a few of the corners but they cleaned up just fine. I didn't realize they were that old! I am using one for superworms, another one for crickets (to feed my bearded dragons) and a third for poison dart frogs (eventually).

dang, well if you could when ever you get a chance try to get us some pics, im sure everyone here would like to check these tanks out.
My 240 was custom made in 1978 for my neighbor and has been in continuous use ever since, with the exception of 1 week during the move from his house next door to mine.scream-aim-fire;3745702;3745702 said:
