Hey guys, made you look. Actually, not a complete joke. Tomorrow morning I'm going up to my aunt and uncle's to get their old saltwater tank. I don't know much about it other than that it's a 90 gallon tank. They're giving me all their old equipment as well so the plan is that I'm going to take it all and then sell what I can't use myself. However, I'm sticking to my 75 gallon tank since I don't really like how tall the 90s are. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for a good, reef capable light right now!! Wish me luck!!!

    Most 90s are a tall 75

    Happy to report that I got the tank without any real mishaps. It's a nice tank and if I didn't dislike the height I would use it myself. However, I stole the hood off of the 90 and I will be able to (after some serious cleaning) sell the drilled tank for a decent chunk of change. It has a "nice" sump if you're into bioballs and it came with a protein skimmer (though I need to do a bit of work on it to replace the acrylic collection cup). It also came with 2 non-descript return pumps (both a 785 gph model); however, only 1 of them was working despite getting their internals squeaky clean. I also got a Rio 1700 and some versa covers. Finally, the light was just a single lamp 48" 40W bulb that is okay for a FO, but definitely not reef capable. Sometime this week I will add pictures and overall I am quite pleased as I think I may be able to unload the good stuff for enough cash to buy either a Vortech, an RO/DI unit, or lights. So it's a win despite not being able to use much of the equipment myself.
