Nothing is free in life...

After work today I took the train home and had my husband pick me up at the station. Our toadies and frogs were out of crickets so we decided to stop at the local Petsmart. I just love the place, its a great big supermarket for your pets!

A friend of mine at work had given us a 150 gallon fish tank and stand that her family wanted to get rid of. (long sad story which I won't get into) Since we love all kinds of animals including fish, and one of our placastamis, (Piggy), has outgrown his 29 gallon tank, (he's aprox 18 inches long, we raised him from a small fish of about 1 1/2 inches) we thought to ourselves, why not?

Well this evening I started to put together all the items needed to actually set up the tank. Apparently a 150 gallon tank is not a very common setup. We were lucky enough to purchase the one and only 60" by 18" underground filter that they had. Then there's the tubing, special air pump, heater , drum filter, etc.... Needless to say , the FREE tank and stand for "Piggy" and friends is costing a small fortune! But we love our pets, so Piggy will be residing in his new home some time next week.
