My 30g QT leaks and needless to say, another flood...

Just saw a post on Craigslist for a 75g for $50. That's kinda big for a QT, but I got it anyway.

Might as well! One thing I've learned is that it's always handy to have an extra tank or two sitting around. You never know when you're going to have an emergency -- someone gets sick, something springs a leak.

Now that I may go for the 120g with stand for $200, I'll have to let go of this 75g. Another good deal going on our local Craigslist soon.
