Just picked up this 135g for $100

I just picked up this 135g for $100 off of a fellow on craigslist. When I went to look at it he had it full of water. He was waiting until someone was going to buy it before draining it. I got the tank, stand, and canopy. I figured it to be a pretty good deal. I need to figure out what I am going to do with it, either fish-only or freshwater. I am going to be thinking about it over the weekend, hopefully come up with an idea.

Aggressive tank!

Yeah I thought about that too. A lion fish may be cool. If you are looking for work you may look at Cannon in SLO. They seem to be always on the lookout for new engineers. I used to work there as a surveyor, decent company to work for.

Already have a reef. I'd go another direction.
Checkout Aquaticgardners.org. Just as simple or high tech as reefing. But don't do Cichlids. Rainbows are cool.

I use to have cichlids and they are not bad. A lot depends on which ones you get. Either Africans or South Americans, I would go with Africans. In the 10+ years I have had aquariums I have had lots of different fish and even FW plant tank. I am seriously considering another arrowana. When I set up my first tank I had one and it was a cool fish. I didnt have a large enough tank for it though. Now I do. Silver Arrowanas are very personable fish.

Nice pickup. Can't wait to see you set it up.

Nice. Looks larger than a 135g. Whats the dimensions?
