Found this at a LFS in Abbotsford today, collecting dust in the back of the store. Four feet long, glass, not used, though the frames are a little scratched up and dented from sitting around the store for who knows how long. $90 Canadian. Apparently it just wouldn't sell, so it sat around for ages. It would be a 50g if the front corners were not angled, so it's probably about 45g.
Now if I could just find a decent cabinet to put it on for a good price - my best lead right now is $275 with tax - I wish I had some tools and a bit of shop space, because I know I can build a good strong cabinet for a lot less than that. I've been all over my local area checking out Home Depot, LFS's, even Wal-Mart hoping I could find something that I can trust to hold 400-500lbs of water and gear.
I'm thinking freshwater planted, HOB overflow box with a 5g wet/dry filter and a bottle of C02... though not all at once. I have to start considering what kind of fish to put in there, if I can find a place to set it up.
Does this sound like a practical plan?
