I'm doing some cleaning out soon and will have two very old aquariums I'll need to deal with.
Is there any reason someone would want a plain old 20 gallon or 40 gallon aquarium from the 1980's?
If not, then I'll just take them to the dump. I have no idea if they hold water but I don't think either of them has a crack.

Thanks for the help folks! I think the biowheel has got to go because it is so darn loud. It's like a waterfall in my living room! I can't get the water level up high enough to stop the sound without hitting the lights. I will move my vortech from the nano to the big tank. I'll start getting on top of the water changes.

My excitement got the best of me and I ended up buying a bigger fully setup aquarium from a neighbor! It is an JEBO R375 with tons of nice live rock, a bunch of softies, a firefish, and a shrimp. I’ve moved over a clownfish, a turbo, and two hermit crabs from the nano.I've been running a Nanocube 12G for about 5 years. So this thing feels really different. I'm confused by the filtration. There is an internal powerhead on a wavemaker, another powerhead moving water from the left of the tank through the hood back to the right side of the tank, and then a pelican biowheel filter hanging on the back. I didn’t think biowheels were really used in a reef setup? The R375 isn’t drilled and there is no sump.What would a “typical” filter setup look like for a 40ish gallon tank? What kind of cleanup crew should I be stocking -- there wasn't anything in the original setup?Looking forward to meeting folks online and hopefully in person!Cheers,-TimPS - what should I do with my old nano tank? I’m not up for two tanks!
What to do with old fish tanks?

That's a good idea. I didn't know there might be interest in them for terrariums. I'll put them up for a week and if no one takes them then I'll stuff them in my recycling bin.
