Same for me! The tanks I bought were five to six years old and the
commercial breeder was just reducing his business because of health. I was
doing him a favor by getting the tanks and stands out of his way. Plus
making him extra money. He also has a pet shop that I frequent - in fact,
buy all my small tanks, filters, pumps, live foodes and flake.
