It appears to be 75 gallons because it looks really wide Is it bigger than 18 inches wide and 48 inches long?If so it is a 75 gallon if it is 18 inches wide and 48 inches long it is a 50 gallon.

measure the tank, enter the info in this volume calculator and it will give you a much better idea.
If you run across that again, ask him if you can just have it if you haul it away, sometimes you get lucky.
Congrats on your find!! | |

It looks like a 55, check the dimension, it should be 48" wide, 13" front to back, and 21" tall.

Hmmm, I say it is a 1.5 gallon tank and that is just a very small TV sitting next to it! 
Ok, just kidding. I would go with the tank calculator link to get the most accurate idea.
Anyways, I really just wanted to say Welcome to the Forum! | |

| I prefer to put water in my tanks, but I suppose that is up to you.
Just kidding. How are you planning to cycle your tank? To get some good tips on cycling, including fishless cycling by clicking HERE.
Do you have an idea of what type of fish or specific livestock you would like to keep in this tank? | |
