    I responded to an ad on craigslist and now I am the proud owner of a 135g tank. I got the tank, stand, and canopy with a light inside the stand for the outstanding price of $100. When I went to see it the tank still had water and fish in it, so I know it holds water. I had to rent a uhaul to pick it up as I only have a small Honda. I am so happy right now I cant wait to get going on it. I will post some pics as soon as I get it cleaned up. I will probably do a FO tank as I really cant afford to set up another reef tank of that size. I was also thinking about doing a FW tank, maybe an arrowana type tank. I dont know I will have to figure it out. Right now I am too excited to make any permanent desicion.

    Thanks, my wife said seeing the smile on my face was well worth the $100.

    That's an incredible deal. What sort of lighting did you get with it?
