omg, i just woke up at quater past midday and tanya was on msn and said THERES 3 MINS LEFT ON THAT TANK!!!!! so i went and bid as my mum said i could last night but i was so scared because no-one was awake at the time! dad didnt know anything about it and he was the first one down. he said 'lucky you' until i told him it was near my gran 7 hours away. his jaw practically hit the ground! i think hes upstairs telling mum i bid now! she knew it was a long way away and she still let me bid (well she said i could last night). im still shaking though!!!! its 57 gals and i havent a clue where the heck its gonna go! somewhere in my bedroom i guess. it cost me £44 in the end. heehee!! someone pinch me! i cannot believe i did that while people were asleep. ive never done anything like that before! im turning into such a rebel!

Congrats on your new tank!

I'm currently on the lookout for a used one too, I always forget to look on ebay.

Have plans on what kind of lighting and stand you will use? Those costs always get me in the end, argg! Make sure to test out the tank for no leaks when you pick it up (fill it up, wipe down the outsides, and wait a few minutes and feel the outside).

congras on one really sweet tank, itll be nice for 3 or 4 commons

Good for you- a big tank is a beautiful thing.
