wes.crockett Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Took a 45 minute drive to buy this from someone on Facebook Marketplace. Price was $150 for everything. Top Fin 75 gallon aquarium Glass tops (broken and corroded... threw away and will repurchase) LED light bar (2) Plastic hoods with lights (not sure why... they don't fit the tank and they already had glass lids) (2) Top Fin Silent Stream Power Filter (look to be in OK condition but not 100% sure if I plan to use them... I may buy a canister instead) AQQA heater. (stated to be 200w, but I haven't confirmed that yet) Water circulation pump (not sure on brand) I took it all home and took the hose to them with a magic eraser just to clean them all up. Ultimately, they are going to sit in my garage for a bit while I figure out (build) the stand for it. How do you clean tanks and supplies when getting them second hand? I am (you know, until I change my mind, of course) planning on an African Cichlid tank... White sand substrate, faux stone background, stone structures and maybe a few floating plants until they get destroyed by the fish... I am planning on doing the standard 2x4 stand YouTube-Special, but using a cabinetry plywood to wrap it, stain it, and add a fake stone façade of some sort. to part of it as an accent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Nice! What is the plan? On 8/27/2022 at 7:56 PM, wes.crockett said: How do you clean tanks and supplies when getting them second hand? Depending how beat up they are, I just clean it normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure out how to clean it thoroughly Build YouTube-Special 2x4 stand See if I have the adequate skills to make the stand look like furniture Funnel money from joint bank account to off-shore account I would like to incorporate copper or steel pipes, coming up from the back, to hold the light above the tank and I would like (the below) as an accent around the bottom of the stand: https://www.homedepot.com/p/GenStone-Stacked-Stone-Desert-Sunrise-12-in-x-42-in-Faux-Stone-Siding-Panel-G2SSDSHP/309651076 I think I will end up going canister filter as I want to have the LEAST AMOUNT of 'stuff' on the back of the tank as possible. Thinking Lilly Pipes too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
