Title: Anyone have a nice 55 gallon tank?
Post by: eden2020 on June 19, 2014, 02:39:25 PM: Ok.. so I can't sell the wood stand I have.. so why not find a tank for it?

Looking for a good to excellent condition 55G tank... top would be nice, glass or plastic doesn't matter. I do not need lights but if you have lights I won't say no.

Please remember I can buy a new one for $55 during "the sale" so clearly I don't want to pay more..

Then once I get the 55 up and running.. I plan to clear some fish.. so coming up will be a very large breeding group of Cyps (used to be Josh's), half a gazillionfry to juvenile yellow labs (some already trying to breed), a breeding pair of Mloto Ivoryhead, a large Fuelleborni (sp?), a breeding group of yellow lab adults, a bunch of orange zebras.. the list goes on.. LOL

Thanks! Marc and family..

Post by: eden2020 on June 19, 2014, 02:55:41 PM: I killed it around to wait.. but honestly I need to set something up to move some fish around. I have several tanks I need to start clearing.. I am also holding several fry and juvies for a buddy PLUS his champsochromis group which are starting to stretch the tank dimensions.

Hopefully someone has one.. Once I get all of this sorted out then I can tear it back down for another fish move/rainy day.

BTW- I have a 60 acrylic cube project and a 110 acrylic cube (new in the box) but not prepared to set them up yet. Just thought it might be easiest to throw a 55 up and move some fish..

THANKS!

I am new here, but am also interested in a 55 gallon tank. I am aware of "the sale" that goes on but always seem to miss it (just recently started getting back into scaping) - is there any info on when the next one is? If I were to assume here, I would guess that is rather soon? Thanks guys.

just a note: i had no idea there was a site like this for us michiganders :)
