I'm guessing a 20 or 30 long. Beautiful tank. I love thrift stores!
Monster of a tank!

Went out to a few thrift stores hoping to find a larger tank for the girl I'm getting in a few days/week and instead of a 5-10 gallon, I found a monster of a tank!

I put it next to a 5 gallon bucket, to show just how big it is. Not sure what the gallons are... maybe a 20, or a 29? No idea, but it is HUGE and this means BettaBettaBetta and Tidbit each get at least 10 gallons! Maybe more! OMG OMG OMG I can't wait to get started. I've got it full of water and watching it for leaks right now. I might try a planted tank... just to see how it goes. Have to make the choice tomorrow. Today.. well I think I've made enough rash decisions for one day. Hubby was not pleased.. but he's not mad either. He just thinks I won't finish the project, lol.
Any ideas on how big it is?

You could take measurements of the tank length width and height then find a volume calculator online. This would be much more accurate than people guessing online at a picture. 
Edit:
Looks like you did or something lol...

LOL I know the man who owns the thrift store. We shop there ALL the time, so he gives me good deals. He HAD a 20 gallon but it was gone when I got there.
So I have 2 10gallon tanks, and I'm going to set one of those up for Bettabettabetta and Tidbit while I start cycling the 29 gallon. My favorite pet store is moving to a new store, so everything is on sale. I'm going to pick up heaters and filters and everything I need, and possibly a couple of fish, because they're on sale too! I'm getting live plants for the 29 gallon, cause I've got aspirations for a live planted tank.. crossing my fingers. I'm getting something hardy for the cycle and then sitting on it for a month. Which gives me a month to decide who and what to put in it!
I picked up a bunch of terracotta pots, silk plants and gravel for the 10 gallons while I was out tonight.. and left my purse at the Dollar Tree. Thankfully the woman who works there is a friend and she's holding onto it for me til tomorrow.. cause the closest Dollar Tree is half an hour away >.< I love the boonies.....

2 more tanks! A 20 gallon and a fully set up 10 gallon that's going to my daughter. Paid $15 for the ten gallon and $10 for the 20 gallon.... I won't be useing the 20 just yet but for 10 dollars, I couldn't pass it up.

10 gallon with heater, filter, hood, light, gravel and some decorations.

20 gallon I got for 10 bucks!
They both need a lot of cleaning and a 24 hour leak test, but I can seal them if they leak, already re-sealed the 2 10 gallons I got before and they work fine.
This couldn't have come at a better time. I just bought this guy on E Bay and the seller is throwing in a couple of females for me. I'll need a place for them til the big tank is done cycling. O.O I just went from 1 fish to 5... Might be in over my head.....
