Scored a 75gallon

[Zari]

Just scored a 75Gallon tank for $35. No leaks great condition. Sloppy spray paint job.
Not only is it a 75 its 3/8" thick glass not the usual 1/4" this thing is a beast. Pics to come after I finish taking a breather from moving it alone and after I eat. Thing weighs more then me I'm only 120 and this thing should weigh around 160ish.

And the much awaited pics =). Mah Biggest tank so far =)

Brace is in good shape and actually pretty strong compared to the ones in my 55 always nice.


Paint job is really sloppy especialy if light shines from behind you can see thin and thick spots in the paint majorly. This is getting striped off. The Trim, Back, One Side, and Bottom will be sprayed black.


Filter Plates I wont be using but eh. Gonna be bare bottom.


Roughly 100lbs of a crushed coral mix. No use atm without Africans and my grandfather doesn't want in the salt tank. Not to mention my ph is around 8.3 give or take out of the tap.


3/8" thick glass =) really happy with this. Only downside is the weight. My grandfather can't lift alot, My Grandmother Can't lift much at all. And my Fiancee is having major back problems so can't even dream of lifting anything with some weight. Which leaves me and me alone lol.


My little helper. She must be in the tank or the gravel at all times or so she thinks.





And the Silent Observer, He at least stayed out of the way unlike the other one.

Came from a fish store that shut down last year, Guy had well over 100 tanks left. Woulda bought more but I woulda been killed. Planed to spend 75 on a 75 so why not just spend 70 on 2? lol but yeah. Told him to let me know if he had anything going up free cuz I'd be all over it and actually allowed to take it lol.
