Hi folks,

I have always dreamed of having a saltwater tank but considered it a pipe dream. Yesterday on a whim I bid on a used 100 G commercial tank from a spa that was closing down.

Well... no one else bid. At all. So they offered me the others. Tomorrow I have to pick up 31 saltwater tanks (empty) and like a dozen buckets of Instant Ocean.

I'm thinking that if I sell the other tanks and some of the Instant Ocean buckets I might be able to afford the pump, sump, protein skimmer etc.... and cobble together my first setup.

...Anyone living in BC need fish tanks...?

Woah! Good luck with the sales! We need some pictures of the tanks once you get them.

I'll definitely post them - there's probably a sales channel right? There are little nano tanks, what looks like two shallow/frag tanks with metal stands and grating, and a bunch of weird dimensions like 48"x31x20 and 44x30x20 (I think that's the one I'll keep, best for my space)...

I'll probably be selling them at like 0.25 per gallon or cheaper. Heck some I may give away lol
