i have never done anything like this but i have learned that patience is a must in everything you do. take your time and do your reasearch. set it up right the first time and you will have fewer problems doen the road!!! did u get the tank, canopy, and stand for $150?

YEP! tank, stand and canopy for $150. also the owner of my lfs is coming over in the morning to help me out and he is bringing approx. 30 gallons of water from his tank so i will have almost all cycled water. im stoked for tomorrow!

now if i could only find a used 30 long for my sump. i have been looking all morning. i found 2 for $50 but they are both almost two hours away.
i also found on local but they want $100 for stand, tank, fish ect. i really ony want the tank, but if he will come down to $75 or $80 i would pay it just to save the drive and the fuel cost. ive got the HEMI and it likes the gas!

the only crappy part of the deal was the previous owner cut holes in both ends of the canopy to fit his lighting. u can see the hole in the pic. i would be ok with that but the cuts he made are HORRIBLE! its ok i guess since the price was right, but im prolly gonna rebuild the entire canopy. then i can customize it to my lights also. im sure this project will keep my busy for awhile.

oh wow yea that looks like crap! but for the price it is worth it for sure. even if u end up buying a new canopy i think you will still be saving a ton of money. ive seen those stands go for 3-400 bux themselves

I'm not a huge fan of keeping a canopy on a SW tank anyways. But if you really want to and don't like this one, you still saved a bundle of money so I'd just buy a new one
