It wasn't free, if I wanted it it was 200.00, if I wanted it free I'd have to follow them to the dump. All of the seams wer bad, they wer whited out and the top had several cracks, a few had been repaired. If I had a basement or a garage I would have taken a chance, but too me the tank was too far gone, this is one that would cost a lot to get it safe. I live in a manufactured home so space is a premium in my house. I am looking into saving for a new monster tank, until then I have 2 55's ,1 10, and 1 75 to keep me happy til I have enough money for my dream tank. It'll probably take me a year. Haven't decided on the size. It keeps changing, I think a 180 would be perfect then think a 240 would be. Plus any monster tank will involve me going under the house to beef up the floor, which I've done once already and it REALLY sucks. I should have taken pics of this tank to show you guys how F ed up it was. No wonder it isn't sold, no wonder the people that bought the turtles didn't want it.
