My wife and I went to check out the neighborhood garage sales today and I found a 20g Long aquarium that appeared to be in great shape. I asked the woman how much she wanted for it and she said $5 but I had to take everything in the two boxes next to it. The boxes were full of misc. aquarium junk including 6 undergravel filters, 5 air pumps, 3 Lamp Hoods, 5 heaters, and 2 filters. I threw away the undergravel filters, tested the air pumps and kept the best 2, threw away 2 hoods that I think were for a 55g and kept the one for the 20L, tested the heaters and threw away the 3 oldest looking ones, 1 of the filters was missing the impeller assembly so I threw that away, the other was a Penguin 125 which is what I've had in my 10g for about 4 years with no problems so I kept that too. So for $5 I got about $40+ worth of stuff *BOUNCINGS
