185 gallon tank... PROJECT, cracked bottom glass $100 SOLD!!

[sdunn90fowlr]

$100 takes tank and stand. Rough estimate was $350-$400 to replace the bottom glass. Measures 60"L-30"D-24"H. The rest of the tank is in good shape.

What does the stand look like 845 two 137 for pics

[sdunn90fowlr]

I will take a pic of the stand in the morning with better lighting. It is a standard Oceanic stand.

How thick is thst bottom glass?


1". It can be safely replaced with 3/4". Oceanic had a tendency to overbuild their tanks.

Which is a good thing or bad?

Which is a good thing or bad?

Good IMO.. I had an oceanic 75 a few years back and that thing was bulletproof.

[sdunn90fowlr]

Which is a good thing or bad?

I agree and think it is a good thing. I had a 30 long tank from them for almost 20 years and it was never resealed or any kind of repair for that matter.
This is why it shocked me so much that the crack happened. Just a freak incident I guess.

Never even thought about that! It would make a great snake, reptile or amphibian tank. You would just have to silicone a little piece of glass over the drain and return holes. My wife would not allow snakes either! LOL

I should raise the price for wild safari habitat, huh! JUST KIDDING!! $100 takes it.
