hmm, you know I need to bust out the tape measure and the masking tape to see how that may look. If I move the positioning to another wall I might be able to get away with 6x4x2. and there is an electrical outlet right behind that spot.

I would never buy another used tank in my life. Did that once, didn't pan out so well so my lesson was learned.

My wife likes the tanks, but at times its more a case of her tolerating them.

However, a couple years ago, I mentioned to her that I had noticed another motorcycle I was interested in for sale and she told me to just go buy it. After I crashed that one into a deer last year and wrote it off reducing my fleet back to a single bike (and incuring a few injuries to me), she was all in favour of me ordering a brand new bigger, better and much more expensive replacement. Of course it helps that she also has two bikes.

When you got a gem, hang on to her.

That's the lesson I'm currently learning.... it would have been cheaper for me to get a starter tank than change everything I'm doing now like I am!

I couldn't agree with you more on this one.
In my case, I have the super husband that puts up with my MANY pets.... mostly reptiles.

Leaking display tank x1 , Leaking sump X 2.

I have not issues with used equipment as long as they are in good working order.. but as far as tanks go, I know if I have it built it is going to hold water.
