General Care Discussion :: I scored all this great tank stuff for free!

[dcsocal]

So my girlfriend's family was having a yard sale this weekend and about half way through my gf's brother says "oh hey they have a bunch of aquarium stuff over there across the street" My eyes lit up like a child on Christmans but my first thought was its probably a little critter keeper and some food or something of that nature. But as soon as i could get a clear look at what was over there i had to stop myself from running over there lol I gathered myself and calmy walked over and looked at the 55 gallon TruVu Acrylic Hexagonal Tank and a TON of reef tank supplies! Test kits, tons of coral, powerheads, heaters, lamps, Fijian sand everything you could imagine! being that i know the neighbor fairly well she said "hey feel free to take what you like" I was nice and settled for a powerhead and an algae scraper, even though i wanted to snatch everything up right there and then! lol Fast forward to a couple hours later and the neighbor keeps saying hey go ahead and take what you want almost persisting, offering it for free to me but i continued to play it cool. A little while after i look out the window and they put everything on the curb and put it on craigslist. I immediately went out and ask how much they wanted for it but they insisted that i should take it for free!

So i know have about 80lbs of coral, fijian sand, powerheads, test kits, and a bunch of other stuff. I have already taken out what i would use for freds tank (eheim heater hehe) i am just wondering how much all this is worth? any body?

as far as iv seen on craigslist the hex tanks sell for a bit more then a normal tank. I would say the tank is worth at least 100$ or more.

Very nice! Test kits and chemicals are probably expired, but a lot of the other stuff is a great find
