    LoL.....and in the meantime, he is bungee-ing the tank onto his...shopping cart (you didnt say what you were driving!) and trying to haul @$$ down the street with it.

    In all seriousness - how awesome is that? I always am on the lookout for that type of thing - you really did make an awesome score today!

    Now you need to clean it up and start a build thread!

    :)

    Nice score....Funny though....how does a fish tank get damaged by all the water we had?

    make sure you check it for leaks and such.. may need to resilicone seams if needed.. just make sure to get old silicone out first.. great find, wish I lived in that neighborhood..
