I am so excited! My friend's girlfriend just told me that she has a 110g tank + hood + stand + filter that I can have for free!!!! She said it's pretty dirty and nasty, but I don't care! Free tank wooo!!! Now I just need to convince my husband that we need to fill it with goldies!

Well, if he says "No", maybe mine will say yes! Yay!!!! Aren't you excited!! Nothing like a free set up!

We all look foward to pics from beginning to end!

YAY! Nothing like a free tank. That's great new's, I can't wait to see it once you get it all cleaned up and filled with GOLDIES!!!

can we see a pic of it

Do not explode. That is sooooooooooo messy to clean up. Instead, take loads of pics for us! That is GREAT!

More fishies more fishies more fishies more fishies more fishies more fishies more fishies!!!!!

First of all how can you not read a topic entitled "I'm Going to Explode!"?!

Wow, how exciting--a huge new tank and all the goodies. Have fun, good luck convincing your husband it was meant for goldies, and pics ASAP!!

Sounds like really great news for you Imber! Let's hope that you get it up and running soon.

Wow, that is great!! The best part is the size! WOOOO! Looking forward to pics.

Wow that is wonderful. You got blessed big time. Can't wait to see all the goldie babies you put in there

lucky
hope to see some pics when its all set up

who doesnt like freebies??!!

Wow what luck! Congrats on the new tank, can't wait to see what you end up doing with it :D

Thanks all I still can't believe that it's actually true. They said they'd deliver it on sunday so I can hopefully get pictures then. For now I need to figure out where in the world I'm going to put it!

That is fantastic. Just keep in mind that a 110 gallon tank holds water weighing at least 880 pounds. That does not include the weight of the tank, itself, the gravel, the stand, etc.....

(Then you have to take into account those HUGE heavy goldies you will be adding in!!!! )

Plan on the entire unit weighing about 1000 pounds......

Take a look at the floor joists. See if you can set the tank at right angles to the direction the joists run....

My house is on a concrete slab with no basement or crawl space. I originally wanted a basement, but we have a high water table so most affordable houses have basements that leak and the ones that don't leak are the great big houses on hills that are WAY too much. Sooo.... it sucks if there's a tornado but it's good for fish tanks!
