|  Used tanks, good Idea?
Hi, everyone. I'm looking to move from my nano and go larger. I was thinking 75-90 gallon as I have come into new tank space in my basement. I'm actively looking in person and on-line. Can anyone give me some input on used tanks in general and this ebay tank in particular? I'd appreciate the input. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 |

I would say if you are able to get that setup at the starting bid or even a little more you will be stealing it    ............ John | |
