for 50 bucks I just bought the following:

29g tank
light
glass top
eheim 2213 classic with all tubing,spraybar,etc
Tons (like 20) filter cartridge sponges with various other media (like 5-10 boxes of carbon, ammonia removers...etc)
Various ceramic decorations (not for me, Im into more natural set ups)
2 black end tables that are actually pretty nice
Air pump
12 ft. of airline tubing
2-5 cans of fish food, some new and some like almost new
aquarium salt
Huge bag of algae rounds
and a bunch more of small random items I cant remember...

I CANT BELIEVE IT I picked it up within 5 minutes of the OP lol
i have been looking for a canister for my existing 29g tank and this eheim is perfectly silent and the flow is great.

Now I need to sell this 29g that It came with (If someone needs a 29, 20long, or a 55 just pm me if you are in NJ or NY or PA area)

Just wanted to share this with you guys because Im so excited!!!!

How come this doesn't happen in CO... :(
Or WI!

The only good deal I have seen on C's list was for a 38g tank, with semi-new heater, HOB filter ans stand for $35.

You got a great deal man!
An eheim 2213 on a 29g is sufficient, correct?
Great find. Love Craigslist. I search several times a day but I've never beat the deal I outlined in this thread for $50...

No need to rub it in....


But really! Great deal, I wish it happens here. :)

Yep!
Sweeeeeet!
Love to hear about the great deals.

Eden, This summer my son picked up a 120 gallon with full glass cover, lights, nice black stand, canister filter for $100 in Greeley. Just need to keep your eyes open for awhile and be ready to pull the trigger immediately before someone else gets to it.
Here in LA everyone seems to think they can sell used tanks for the same price as new because they are throwing in a treasure chest air bubbler.
Sweeeeeet!

What the.......... :icon_eek: That is a good deal, while I can't get something as good as that while I'm living with my parents I hope when I own my own place I can get a deal as awesome as that!!
i've gotten free tanks before.. 55gal with a bunch of stuff included, 100gal with stand, 60gal, 30gal.. =x
i even got a free $700 elliptical..but i stupidly gave it to my friend..ugh
I've picked up a good deal of fish tanks put in the front yard with big FREE signs in them. All my snakes and geckos when I had them lived in free tanks :proud:
