I've been wanting to get back into the hobby, my last tank was a 55g 20 years ago, been looking on Craigslist and a few other places for a good deal on a used setup, fast forward to today was at a resale shop looking for rustic shelving for a bathroom, and low and behold there sat a new in the box 29g tank, lady wanted 40 bucks, its smaller than I wanted to go, but wth, beer drankn project commencing soon

fresh or salt?

Fresh, its going to be a daddy/daughter deal so figured fresh would be easier for her, if she grows bored of it I can convert it

Cool!

I'm looking to get back into the game myself soon I've been looking for deals on OfferUp and Five Mile.

Everything is either grossly overpriced or if it is a good deal it's literally sold within 2 hours. Fun hobby!

this is a cool place.

That's where I bought all my fish years ago when I lived in H.C., heard they have new owners and got rid of the stench lol, cool place

Did this a couple times with my girls and more recently with the grandkids. We tried to get some natives involved where possible, especially if they helped catch em. Baby green sunfish, punkinseed, minnow, catfish, crayfish, bull frog tadpoles, even had a baby bowfin once. Lots of fun for everybody.

I�ve had aquariums off and on my whole life. Right now we have a 10 gallon with some Mollys in it. It�s my son�s first tank.

Ive had 2 or 3, really enjoyed them until cleaning time, the real deep cleaning time as in total breakdown. So i get out of it.........then get a pool

Well we're up and running, I'll let the kiddo pick out what she wants in it, let it cycle till March for put any fish in it

Might want to research using ammonia or live plants/sand for cycling . Could speed up the process .

Nice

We're in no hurry, I've done this before, my experience is to let the tank take care of itself for awhile, plants will be added, its really not ready for anything yet

I put fish in mine the same day I set it up.

Cool
