Picked it up this morning. It came with stand and light and an air pump. Just needed a little dusting off. It is a bowfront, dimensions are 24 x 19 x 14, which I figured out to about around 25+ gal. Can somebody doublecheck? I suck at math.

Either way, I'm totally thrilled. banana.gif

Those measurements are in inches, so I make that about 27.5 US gal or about 105 litres.

What a nice tank and stand - lucky you! biggrin.gif How exciting! What are you gonna put in it?!

Actually, just thinking it may be slightly more on a bow front? At least 27.5 gallons though

ohmy.gif Wow!!! Congrats!!! What a great find for you-with all included.The #'s are a bit off,but the closest I could figure was between a 26 & a 28 gallon. laugh.gif

I might as well try and hide in it. biggrin.gif My family is gonna lose it when they come home. But hey, I cannot pass one up for free, especially with a stand!!

Thanks again for checking the size for me.

And no, I have no idea what to put in it. Something other than goldfish, I guess. Maybe a pair of Angelfish? Any suggestions?

I think bowfronts always look nice as tropical tanks, that gives you plenty of choice! biggrin.gif

Angels sound nice, have you seen tinks angel tank in the photos forum? Looks great!
Monkeygirl
Yes, I saw her tank and her fish are beautiful! I don't know anything about Angelfish, so I'll do a little research first. I also like dwarf gourami, which I had before.

Me toooooo! Thats a beauty for sure. What a find. But my family would all have a cow if I came in with another tank right now. With all the tanks I have up and running plus the "rat boys" and now this cage that I have built, (for the two skinny pigs that I still have not gotten), from metal grids that turned out to be huge because I kept adding to it. Bigger is better is it not? I thought so! yeah.gif Plus the three dogs. I think I would end up stuffed in the tank! rofl3.gif

Can't wait to see it once you decide what to put in it and its running.

I definitely want peaceful fish, something smallish. I looked at mollies today. They are so cute! Does anybody have any?

Great find, especially at that price!! I hope you'll enjoy it!

Just a guess, but that looks to me like an All-Glass tank and stand, and their bowfront in that configuration is rated 26 US gallons.
