    I loaned my RR 90 setup to my cousin some time back and he passed away this winter.  After his passing, I contacted his sister to get my tank back...I just found out his ex-wife sold it for $250!!  It was a glass tank with 2 overflows, sump...the whole nine yards.  So, here's my pickle.......I need to tear down my 135 acrylic to repair scratches, replace all plumbing, cook the rocks and get it back in shape which will take several weeks since I will be starting from scratch.  I have a foxface and blue tang, each about 6".  A maroon clown about 4", a clarkie about 2', a rusty angel about 3", a 1" strawberry basslet and osc clown. A 1 1/2" valentini puffer, r gramma and a gobie.  I only have a 35 gal tank (that I use for quaranteening new arrivals).
    So I need a tank and stand that I can house them in temporarily. (I found 2 on Craig's List but the one sold and I never received word from the other.  I've looked at a few places online but the prices are outragious for a RR 90-100g.  I found a 55g  glass at Petco/smart for $230.)  I really don't want to invest in a new setup as I would not use it after I got the 135 running again.  (About 9 months ago I had cancer so I don't know what the future holds for me.)  I live in Marshalltown and do not know anyone who keeps SW and LFS isn't an option.  Does anyone have any ideas on where I should go from here?
    Thanks for your help![​IMG]

    I would get a big stock tank. Cheap & ugly, but effective.

    I second the big stock tank idea, I bought my 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank at Menards for around $70 I think it was.

    Thanks for the stock tank suggestion...how would I cover and light it? Wouldn't the fish go crazy with the dark sides?
    RobG 1,
    Does it have overflows, sump and lighting?  If yes, how old are they, brands and type of lighting?  How much?  Would you possibly just sell the tank and stand if I don't like what you outfitted it with?  Thanks.

    I was thinking a stock tank too... that way you could use it for water changes and stuff too in the future.
