Not great like I wanted lol but ok.
opcorn: The story goes like this....
I have an overstocked & kinda poorly stocked 55g. and have been wanting a new bigger tank for some time now. I finally found a good buy on a new 75g. and hubby said I could use my next pay check for it since I didn't get it for my birthday. Well I skrewed up and went on a shopping trip a couple days ago with a girlfriend and blew my whole check :roll: . I did get some fish related stuff (like a pirate ship for my grandsons little tank and a new master test kit that I seriously needed) lol but not the darn tank. I know I know, I could kick myself in the rear.
Now for the good part :dancing: ...
The same friend I went shopping with who doesn't know anything about fish but knows how mad I was at myself for not getting the tank called me today and said there was a 29g. tank with light, stand, filter etc. on freecycle.com and it was only a few minutes drive from me. I called and got it. FREE!!!!!
It's one of those nice black metal stands with scrolls on the sides that has a glass shelf and room for another tank on the bottom. The gravel is a nice light natural colored gravel (but I think I'm going to try sand). It came with 3 big fake rocks, a lighted hood and a Fluval 304 canister filter.
So I skrewed up and didn't get my 75g.... yet, but I did get a very nice FREE 29g complete setup. I've been wanting a 29g. too for the 2 N. brichardi that I have in my mainly mbuna tank that I think are starting to pair up. So even though I'm disappointed about the 75g. I'm thrilled about the 29g. and it will give me something to work on until I do manage to get the 75g. tank. Did I mention it was FREE lol you can't beat that and it really is nice. I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as nice as it is.
Now I need to go to the right section of the forum and find out how to use this filter. From what I remember reading, it's suppose to be a pretty good one. I just don't know anything about canisters. I might put it on my 55g. since it could hide in the stand of it and use one of the 2 HOB filters off the 55g. for the 29g.. Does that sound like a good idea or not?
