Just picked up a 46 gallon bow front tank today for free from a local aquarist. I think I'll use it as a softie tank and convert my 75 into sps only. Now I just need to build a stand and canopy, get some lights, and figure out where to place the tank.

Cleaning and leak testing now.

Sweet! A free tank? How cool!!

Oh yeah- who is the maker of that tank?

make sure it isnt one of those that has been failing. I think it was Oceanic tanks.
If it is you can get the serial number and check.....

Nice tank, you can not beat that price.

Yeah the price was just right.

As for the maker of the tank...

This was the only tag on it. Not sure who M. A. is though.

I know that tag. It is the same tag used by the makers that sell the tanks walmart carries, like their 55 gallon kit. From that I don't know what else to say. I just recognized the ancor. Should be ok I would think. It is not Oceanic and I don't think All-Glass.

So far it has cleaned up well and has passed the leak test. I'll probably let it sit full of water for another day or two before bringing it inside to be sure. Thanks for the replies.

What's the status on the tank? Cycling yet?

I'm going to rearrange some furniture this weekend to make a spot for the tank. Saving up for some more lights at the moment. Can't wait.
