Well Today, My friend's Mom's Friend came over to give me his tank. Im not so sure on the size exacly
of it. But its 3 feet in length x 12 inches in width x 18 inches in hight, Not exacly sure how much that is, but im estimating its about 30 gallons or so, Which is just great haha.

He also gave me a bunch of fish stuff, + a stand, and an Angel fish which came with the tank. All for free,
plus it was deliverd to me too, im so spoiled , but very happy

Today im going to clean everything and wait untill my mom gets home to see
what she has to say about it haha. I didn't even have the time to ask her if i was aloud
to have it,Hopefully she won't mind.Im going to get pictures soon, Have a good day everyone

Alex, that sounds wonderful! Nothing like setting up a new tank, as I think it is so much fun to do. And when its free, well doesn't that make it even more fun!!!!

Can't wait to see pics, what do you think you'll put in it? Hows your desk/tank stand coming along, as I recall it was looking fantastic. Will you have room in your bedroom for your new tank? Can't wait for pics!!!

Alex,

Good Luck with your new tank! Here's a link that will help you to calculate the volume of your tank into gallons.

Congrats on the new tank... your estimate is about right, my calculator says about 33 gallons.

Hehe, if your mum says no to keeping it, you can send it my way.

Congrats you lucky ducky!

Haha Yup It should probably be going in my room, Im planning on putting my Accalia ( Black moor) Into it, And maybe get her a new friend hehehe.
But first i need to buy a rubbermaid for the 3 comets.

I also need to convince my mom in letting me set it up lol, Im moving again in 6 months ehh, Hate moving so many problems.

It looks lovely! Congrats to you and your fishies on the new tank!!

congrats! =] i love the stand

Alex,

Sounds like something I'd have done to my Mom. haha

When I was in Jr. High, I had seven tanks in my bedroom. No Goldies back then, but my love of aquariums was full-fledged. Now that I'm grown up, i just surprise my WIFE when I upgrade or bring in a new tank. haha
