hello
After being given a 2 foot tank by my grandad that he had in his shed and building a lid for it i realised how much i like fish tanks. so went in search for a bigger one. i found one. 50 pounds (not out of the way i thought) the tank is 42 inches long by 16 inches wide by 18 inches deep with a stand and a lid. it came with two backgrounds both are can be reversed, 3 tubes of background glue. two internal fluval 4 filters, one undergravel filter with two up tubes and two powerheads, two visi-therm heaters, 300w each. 2 light starter kits with three 38w arcadia tubes with reflectors, loads of bog wood one piece is around a foot and a half long and about 10 inches tall in the shape of an arch, loads of rocks (too many to put in the tank unless its a malawi set up even then i'd have a few spare) two really odd filters you need airlines for. two tetra test kits for gH and KH unused. test strips a box full. loads of gravel. a tetratec aps 300 pump and loads of airline and airstones. i managed to knock him down to 40 quid, then he threw in a gravel cleaner and 3 tubes of fish food. nice work.
 
haha sounds like a regular bargain there! good stuff

you know whats next..... pictures of it all up!

peace out !

ps the ODD FILTERS are probably just sponge filters and as for undergravel ones erghhhhh hate them with a passion lol never had one, but just the thought of them i dont like :)
 
yeah just weird green things. ones being used with the up tube and powerhead in the fry tank. the undergravel filter was used in the fry tank but seemed to create more mess when cleaning than without it. heres a pic of the tank minus one of the heaters and one of the fluvals 4s they both have 3 sponges for each so i will start donating used media soon to help people with cycling and a bag of carbon for them that stuff aint cheap either. the second starter kit got dropped so went in the bin after a go at fixing it and making it worse. the house electric went all dark oops lol (got two spare 38w arcadia marine white tubes that i should really use but i cant find a starter kit for under 20 pounds just yet) and around 80 rocks.
