    We have been house shopping, and we went and looked at a foreclosure. Inside this really nice house was a 125 gal. long. The contractors were cleaning the house out to put it on the market. Well we went out there several times to try to contact the contractors to see what they had planned for this tank but we never could catch them. So my wife called up the realtor and asked him what they were going to do with this tank. He says it has to come out! We tried again to contact the contractors but when we went out this time the dumpsters were gone and yet the tank was still there:). So we called the realtor again, Michelle tells the realtor that if he leaves the tank in there with as cold as it is getting it will crack and he will have a mess on his hands. We offered to remove it for nothing for him. He agreed that it would be best to get it out now. So, we now have our upgrade. we were thinking on going to a 200 gal. but a 125 will do (for free). I will need to make a stand for it which should be rather fun doing. i will post some pics as do the build and then we will post pics as we set up our newly expanded reef.

    Awesome find... all I found while looking for houses was old magazines and a cooler with rotten food...

    Were going house shopping soon and my wife thinks I am kidding about asking the realtor if there is anything in our budget with a HUGE in wall setup included in the sale price. Nice pick up BTW.
