its even better than i thought XD
he is dropping it off tomorrow at 10 in the morning.
its in better condition than was expected, and the best part....
HE HAS AT LEAST 60 OTHER LARGE TANKS IN HIS BASEMENT (more upstairs too)
it was awesome. thousands of different fish, and it was all beautiful and well taken care of. im incredibly lucky that i found him. 10 out of 5 stars.
ill take pictures tomorrow and post them =) the stand isnt perfectly fitting (built for a curved front) but im going to get a flat plank of wood to make a new surface.
there are tons of scratches on the glass, but no cracks at all. the glass is VERY thick, thicker than you get from tanks now. it was either 10 or 15mm thick if i remember correctly.
glass top with no lights though, which is the only problem. the glass is heavy and sturdy, but if it proves an issue, ill just have to figure something out.
CRAZY EXCITED!!!! lol
