I think I just got a bonus....

someone is giving me a 45 gallon tank and stand with all the pumps and everything.

it was freshwater, has an undergravel filter...


Sounds like a nice tank to put in the basement for a sump doesn't it?


That means I might have to do some more replumbing besides designing the "knuckleflow" that I am currently working on......

Free is the best price.

Anything Free is worth exactly what you pay for it....


At least that's what my Grandpa used to say


As long as the tank holds water I will be happy, I am so excited about all this plumbing stuff I can hardly contain my joy....

check for copper!

Also, 45's are really wierd sized. Might only be good as a sump.

that is all I would use it for

I can't have another tank in the house, I don't have anywhere to put it.

How do you check for copper? The tank will be empty. Do I fill it up and then do a test? or should I just cut away the silicone on the inside and reapply it?

I'd take it outside, fill it with water, and add some muratic acid. Let that sit for a day and rinse it out real good. Let it dry completely.

Then to be extra safe, not that I would do this, but you could fill it then run some carbon or poly filter for awhile.

I will probably do that

Its not like I am in a hurry to set it up, I have to buy a return pump first.....

Free stuff is always sweet. My grandparent's silver dollar finally died (after about 8 years), and now they're giving me their 30 gal, along with all the accessories they've collected over the years.

New planted tank!
