Scored some new tanks today!

MTS has struck once again...

After going to my school's annual craft show this morning, I decided to stop and a small shop nearby. I'm not really sure what to call the shop. It's not a thrift store, but it's similar. Anyway, I wasn't expecting to find anything because the shop consists of a very small building crammed full of useless stuff and 3 old semI trailers.

To my surprise, I ended up leaving with a nice 2.5g bow with a lighted hood ($5), a 5.5g ($5), and an oak trim 55 gallon with a T12 strip light ($45).

So three tanks nice looking tanks for $55!

The 2.5g has already been set up for my shrimp. The 5.5g will be set up with dirt for plants and a betta so I can take the ugly divider out of my 10g. The 55 gallon will probably be a ram grow out tank eventually, as well as being planted to the max!

Just thought I'd share my accomplishment of the day!

 

Nice score

 

Congratulations.

It makes me wish May was here so I could start getting more tanks up and runing.

 

Thanks!

May will be here before you know it. Just gives you more time to come up with more awesome plans for the fish house!

 

Sounds like a good deal congrats

 

Malaysian Trumpet Snails (MTS) have struck? Haha just kidding

 

Win!!:;scorpion

 

Touchdown! I wish I could score like that.

 

Nice score on the tanks! Cant wait to see some pics of the new setups.

 

Holy Moly!! lol THats a great find! Congrats!

 

Great find.Cant wait until it warms up here and start garage saling.

 

Well here's the two smaller tanks set up.

1st is the 2.5g with Sakura Shrimp and plants. I also bought a pack of plant bulbs ad threw them in today. I will eventually scape it a little better, but for know, it's gonna stay messy!

Next is the 5.5g. I bought some Miraclegro organic choice soil today and put that in with a sand cap. I then bought some crypt wendtiI red, hygrophila kompakt, and some ophiopogon japonica (mondo grass, which was marked as aquatic, but apparently isn't). I put a corner filter from another tank in it.

I'm so glad to finally put one of my bettas in it own tank and get rid of the divider in my 10g!

 

That's fantastic! Yeah! Woo! Go!
