Haha I Got It!!!!! Yup Another Build For Me.lol
I knew if I was persistent enough I would get my wife to cave.lol I found a old but never used 75 gal acrylic tank with a center overflow. I did find four scratches though.3 on the back and one on the front. The bottom was scratched to hell though I guess from sliding across the floor. Good thing sand will cover the bottom.
 However I got such a good price I couldn't say no. He was asking 100.00 because he's moving his store and it would be less to haul, so I told the worker to call his boss and tell him I wanted a better price (HAHA I would have bought it is he said no) and he said his boss would take 80.00. So now it's mine. All mine! LOL I can't get it till tomarrow and I will have some pics then. This is one build that will stay up and last...unlike the 55 and 10 LOL What do you think of this stand? I think this is the one I will build! The build might not start till mid june when we get back from our cruise though.

Re: Haha I Got It!!!!! Yup Another Build For Me.lol
Yeah, but the one that Bobby bought is drilled and has an overflow. Which will cost a lot more than $1/gallon.
I think you got a good deal and am waiting on pics!

Re: Haha I Got It!!!!! Yup Another Build For Me.lol
Yeah so was mine, but acrylic nor reef ready tanks were near that price. I aske how much a RR 75 AGA tank was and if I remember right it was close to 200.00, but you could but the AGA 75 for 75.00. I didn't price the acrylic one because he told me it would be more than the RR AGA 75.
