Trash picking project
 all, Was heading out to work and found this Tank in the trash. So like all committed trash pickers I brought it home. It measures 48"Lx12"Wx20"H. I'm hoping to turn it in to a Japanese inspired garden with water fall. Featuring my AWESOME little neo. that is in full bloom and another spike forming. More neo's in my future!!! I built the frame out of appearance grade pressure treated 1x4's. I will take pictures all the way. Not very artsy so it will be a challenge

I would have paid to see it 
Congrats on the find. I may have to rummage through some of my old tanks and see what makes the grade. Now where did that 55gal acrylic go  |

Great find Dave, will work perfectly for an orchid grower. By the way, nice looking driftwood looks like an oncidium.
