    hi guys

    Just been offered a coffee tank fish tank for free.
    The tank is 900 x 900 x 50 with a wodden frame and glass top.

    I am now looking at what equipment to put in it as well as what fish to put in. any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

    I'll be collecting it tonight. and checking it out as far i know it comes with built in lights.
