Cool little tank

I've owned this tank for a couple years.  One of the panes got broke and I cut it out and resealed the tank in december.  The tank leaked and I put it up for a latter project.  Last night I went to look at another fish hobbiest stuff.  I found a metaframe light and lid for it.  I have never seen lids before now.  This tank is 5 gallons.  After I take it apart again I will have it up and running.

This brings back fond memories.  My first tank was a 5-gallon Metaframe with the SS light just like this one.  Had a small vibrator pump and bubble up corner filter.  Put black and yellow(!?!) gravel in it, and 2 brick red swords and 2 gold wag platys.  My parents traded Green Stamps for it at the Green Stamp redemtion store; got the fish and gravel at the old Unique Aquarium that was in Universal City in Warren.  1965 or '66 it was; I was just a tadpole then. 

Thanks for posting.
