When I got there I spotted two clearseal tanks, they had hardly been used and maybe had the faintest scratches.1 pound each!So I snapped them up.No hesitation atall there :shifty: On the 3rd row I spotted a 55 gal, dirty and the guy had not bothered to make it presentable.It was was very good condition however, I havn't spotted any scratches.Some of the limescale is a right $!74 to get of though.It came with a hood (the clearseal plastic type) and 4ft light and arcadia controll unit.At the time the price tag was round the other way, so I asked how much it was.He said a fiver , so we debated if it could go in the ford galaxy (which obviously it could, someway or another :fun: ).The guy was waiting and said 'as I want to get rid of it you can have it for 2.50'.How about those for deals :p I'm going to covert 1 of the small tanks into a nano, planted.I want to breed something in the 55gal, I don't know what though, and I also need suggestions for the other clearseal one!It was very annoying having 3 tanks and a a big hamster cage and other stuff in the car though lol.Got a descent bb gun aswell, not as good as my old deagle but still fun to have for a second gun in the bb wars 8) Especially after my other two got broken by some P^$%|{ (aka my brother) who was messing around with them .Anyway i'm gonig off -topic :S .So again.Random suggestions for them, NOW!
 
good find, car boots are excellent for finding cheap tanks.
my 10 gallon came with all the equipemtn included for under a Fiver.
 
It's a place of the A14,woolpit...It's a pretty massive, we missed out 1/4 of it...
 
Carboot-Where people sell items which they do not need or just to make some money.Lol.Theres always good dvd's and console games...Plus alot of junk :lol:
 
Cheesy i'd assume you have it in hand by now but a soak with lemon juice should clear up limescale extremely quickly....
For airpistols try the Bikail Makarov (brutal)....
How big are the clearseals?
 
Thanks germ.I just got a chisel in the end, this stuff was on there hard :blink: .It was only on the glass bars really, with only some of it being on the glass viewing point.1 part bleach and 20 parts water cleared that up.Had to hose it down first of though.I just noticed ferris and it sparked me.Maybe I could do a malawi set up.I have alot of tuffa and lava rock (although lava is probably not the best thing for it).That Bikail Makarov does look pretty sweet 8) Seems to be a few different models though.
 
Sounds like you had a good time and bought some nice bargains. We sorta have those types of things in aus. But not nearly as big as yours over in the UK
