looking for a decent size tank

[marcusgonzales210]

I want to get a larger tank. I like my nano but there's not enough space in it. I want a tank that's preferably 18inches wide or more. Let me know what you have and what you're asking for it.

[Ichthy]

i have a 55gal. i want to get rid of ASAP.
i was asking 380 but i'll take 280.
It has everything but water & sump/fuge.
Skimmer, 3 filters, sand, lights, 3 rocks, 3 fake plants.

[txav8r]

I have a 28 gal. bowfront that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. 24" wide 16"(center) deep 18" tall

[FireWater]

I have a 90g - tank only - drilled w/ overflow - 48" X 18" by 25" tall - 1/2" glass.

[Europhyllia]

wait until Gabe gets my new tank in (4-6 weeks) and I'll have a 125g tank with stand and Eshopps overflow (not drilled). You can fit lots of stuff in there. :D
72" by 18" by 22". Stand is 32" tall.
I think I'll be asking $175 for the stand and tank. Obviously it still has my fish in it so can't go quite yet...

[marcusgonzales210]

wow Europhyllia that's a great deal! It's going to be hard to top that.

[Ichthy]

If you're interested in my 55gal.
Stand, tank, 3 filters, skimmer, sand, 3 fake plants, 3 fake clown figures for $200.

Going to have my 180 available also here within the next few months... but like Karin I need to get my fish/coral moved first.

[chunkymonkey]

man, a 180 would be sweet too....but then so would a 125, 210, 300, 1000.....******! I want it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Europhyllia]

lol. I just saw a 300 gallon for sale in NB. But I think 215 will be just perfect for me :)

[chunkymonkey]

and the 125 is perfect for me...hint hint hint, lol....

[jrsatx20]

A 300 hmmmm. Haven't set mine up yet so not to much trouble to build a new stand. Can u send me info on it.

[Europhyllia]

Ruben I saw it on craiglist. Only listed in the last day or so. :)

[chunkymonkey]

Don't worry Ruben, I got ya' covered....

[hilltopperpete]

I clicked through... I might have found some driftwood for my new planted tank!

Woot!

[marcusgonzales210]

does anyone have any rimless tanks? I'm really stuck between a open top for clams and just sheer look, and a tank with a canopy for anthias. I would like to get at least 70 gallons. or maybe 55 gallons if the dimensions are breeder.

[aquasport24]

You can have both rimless and Anthias, just make a mesh top, like mine rimless here. Can't even tell the mesh top is there from a distant.

[Europhyllia]

I got a thread with mesh top links, supplies and pics here:

I am very happy with the clear mesh. I really liked it on my old tank and already have the mesh on hand for my new tank's mesh top as well!

+1 For the mesh top (thanks again Karin for the info), it does not blocking the light at all.The only down fall is that small fish 1/4" in diameter will eventually goes thru (R.I.P Hefrichi firefish).

[Europhyllia]

I am really surprised the firefish squeezed through that 1/4" mesh! Must have been determined. lol

[Europhyllia]

well we destroyed the 125 in the move. :(

On the plus side I will have the 75 gallon set up I am currently using available once my new tank is ready. Dimensions: 48"x18"x21"

The 75 includes the whole set up:
tank (drilled with oversized drain and powerhead box - or you can have that powerhead box drilled as your return for around $25 at your favorite LFS)
black stand with large front doors and magnetic side panel to remove sump
black canopy
20 gallon sump (can include some mangroves and chaeto if you need something to get you started)
all necessary plumbing including return hose with SCWD to alternate return currents and two return outlets
possibly 2 MJ1200s - have to test to see if they work. Those would fit into the powerhead box

side panel, canopy and SQWD not pictured but you can see everything else:

asking price will be $200 OBO. Expected availability: end of July

Take a look and see what you think when you come down with Gabe :)

All you would need is some kind of light retrofit kit to mount into the canopy, a return pump like a Mag 9.5, sand, rocks and water :)

Seen in the picture but NOT included: my livestock, rocks, skimmer, media reactor and light fixtures

I purchased this tank used. The stand and canopy could probably use a new light coat of paint in some places. Stand and canopy appear to be custom/DIY. If you hate it you could probably skin it and put nicer stuff over the frame

[Ichthy]

wow, i'm sure this will go quick and makes me hate myself for blowing all my money already but if you still have this by the first week in July, i'll take it off your hands for about $250

[Europhyllia]

Thanks for the nice feedback. I am sure it will be end of July until my new tank is ready for my critters to move in...
Ha! I just tested the 2 MJ1200s in a small bowl in the sink ... aimed at myself -doh!
YES! they both work but one has a broken part on the mounting thing. Not a huge problem if you really wanted to use them in the powerhead box...
I also found an API Saltwater Master Testkit that appears almost unused but I have no idea if this stuff expires and if so what the expiration date is. Included in the combo as well.
Also have a bag full of dry liverock rubble for the sump (not mine, also came with the combo when I got it) which will be included too
Plus one used mag float cleaner magnet. I think that's it. ;)
