    Default 30 gallon tanks $5.00

    MR PETS @ 1st and commercial had at least a dozen 30 g tanks (approx. 14h x18d x30L)
    I hand measured and forget the 30 g measures.
    Basically, display tanks and you might even get the gravel and underwater filter.

    Good luck!!@

    Good find, i just picked one up!

    The tank size is 24"W by 18"D by 12"H, which works out to just over 22 gallons. Probably a 20 gallon capacity since that measurement is from the outside edges. I haven't seen one in those dimensions before and didn't work out the size until I got it home, so I was assuming it was 30 like they had them labeled. Still, this is much better use of space for most fish than a standard 20G so I'm pretty pleased with it.

    They all seemed to have gravel in them, mine even has a bunch of plant pieces in the gravel. There are enough glass tops for 3 or 4 of the 10 or so remaining tanks, but the tops are all somewhat chipped or broken. Mine tank was not painted, but most of the remaining tanks are painted blue on the back. I can see a few small scratches on it already, but I have not cleaned it up at all so I can't fully tell condition yet. I don't expect a perfect tank for $5.60 after tax!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Default 22 gallon tanks $5.00

    Yes, the correct size is 22gallons. Our signs have been fixed. We are clearing out a total of approx 80 of these tanks to make room for our new DAS commercial aquarium units to arrive this month. It's a great deal and includes the under gravel filter, gravel, and a lid. We have a bunch of lids upstairs so 80% of the tanks we should be able to supply a lid with. We also have 6 -44 gallon aquarium units (48x18x12) we will have to clear out later in the week and these we will be selling for $30, still a pretty good deal.

    Default taxes

    In British Columbia almost all purchases at a business must include HST. This is also true for used goods. For example, when you purchase a used car in BC, 12% HST applies. So if a product is sold enough times the taxes could technically be worth more than the product. The government has a good business plan. :P

    You can see the tanks in this photo.

    Basically all glass tanks with a top and bottom black plastic frame.
    Most are in pretty good shape. Some minor scratches on the inside from gravel and rocks as we have used them for about 6 years.
