Brick 225 with side overflow (peninsula style)

[subsailor]

Bought this tank and now doubling back on setting this big boy up as I am not to sure how much longer I am going to be living here. This is a deep sea aquatics Neo 225 brick tank. Measurements are 72X30X24. This tank is Brand spanking new and has seen water once to check everything. It has one little chip on the overflow side of the tank at the very end of the glass, but it will not hurt anything as glass is 3/4 all the way around and the chip is past the seal. This tank retails for around $1600, and i would like to get $700 OBO. May be open to trades on a 75 gallon or so setup.

We saw this monster this weekend, what an awesome tank.....

[mercedesvaughn]

Collin looks adorable inside the tank!

[mikedelgado]

is it 30" tall?

[dannyv]

you thinking about buying it Mike?

[mikedelgado]

unfortunately the answer is yes.If its 30" tall it would fit my enclosure perfectly. And the overflow box on the left would be pretty sweet cause the left side of my tank is against the wall kinda like a room divider

I think you have the volume wrong. If it is OUTSIDE dimensions of 72x24x30 deep, it's over 200 gallons INSIDE, with 3/4" glass.

Typically, the industry uses the outside dimensions, in which case you would be 224 gallons (typically called a 225).

Sure it's not 60" long? I thought the DSA 185 was 5' in length?

[BIGBIRD123]

We saw this tank after the swap and it's 6' long and the other stuff...really sweet tank. If I had a job...:bigsmile:...this puppy would be mine...

[aggman]

according to dsa's website the neo 185 dimensions are 60.5x30.5x25.

just to clear that up.:bigsmile:

still a great buy!

judging from the 2x6 its about 13 so 13 x 5.5 = 71.5 I GUESSTIMATE

Bill you are right I wasn't even looking at that. This is a custom built tank to specs. hence the side overflow. Its not listed on their website.

Mike yes the tank is 30" tall

Great deal either way! DSA is top of the line!

If you are open to trading for a 120 that is 4' x 24" x 30" (last two I don't know if they are exact, but close to", let me know. I want a larger tank and I REALLY want it to be a pennisula style, but we can't afford one until the end of the year. Your tank would fit on my current stand...with some tweaking by adding doors to the other side.

I sent a PM yesterday. Let me know what you think. It's probably not a fair trade, but maybe we can work something out.

Not really interested in that trade, Thanks though

[donduncan]

interested in a 6'x24"x18" 125 with stand?

[donduncan]

and some cash?

[Bill S]

I have a tank nearly exactly like this tank - it's 29" tall. A brick-tank is VERY expensive to build - and consequently very heavy! But, they are extremely safe AND there is NO BRACING. Once you have one without bracing, you'll see why brick-tanks are a real prize.

Yep, Bill is dead on it is very heavy with thick glass all the way around. there is no center brace, no euro brace....no bracing. makes it great to get stuff in and out.

[Bill S]

No bracing also means no worry about lighting placement, and no salt creep on the brace!

[donduncan]

pm'd you.

[BIGBIRD123]

man, someone needs to get this. When they get it home, they will finally realize what they got.

[Bill S]

Seriously:

The tank is wide enough to put in a wall - to be seen from both sides.

With the peninsula design - overflow on the end - it is PERFECT for both an island AND for a 2 sided viewing tank

The lack of bracing makes lighting infinately easier - no dark spots from the brace or braces, no salt on the brace to block light and make a shadow, no low lighting that's found under a brace... For instance, with MH lighting and a single brace, you HAVE to have 4 fixtures. This will save you a complete fixture.

A tank that Mamma will feel WAY more comfortable having in her house. It's STOUT.

Having an end overflow is PERFECT. Mine is set up to return from the other end - the sheet of surface water turns over every few seconds, and O2 levels are VERY high.

A 30" deep tank gives you plenty of room at the top and middle for corals wanting a lot of light, and the bottom for those that would prefer less!

I'd take it if we had the money right now. Hubby is using his July bonus to do the floors in the house. Anyone want to spot me until I get my bonus in November? LOL.
