I am parting with my 180 gallon acrylic tank. It is only a year old and is in excellent condition. The dimensions are 6' x 2' x 2' and includes the base, canopy, and tons of extra hardware.

I am asking $1000 for everything. If you want to know more including a detailed list of what else is included email me at drew_crist@sbcglobal.net

Here is a recent photo with me next to it to provide a estimated size. I am 6' 1" tall.

It would probably be better if you posted the detailed list here. That way potential buyers wouldnt have to email you for details and you wouldnt have to answer 200 emails. Youd only have to type out what is included once right here in this thread.

Looks very nice. I hope someone picks it up. Good luck.

That is a good idea. I didn't know what level of interest Iwould get posting it here but i will put the details together and post them also.

The tank is a Clear for life Acrylic; the dimensions are 6’ x 2’ x 2’. There are 2 light fixtures on the top (under the canopy) that hold 2 bulbs each. There are 3 filters: a Fluval 404, Via Aqua 750 and a Marineland Magnum 350. I also have 2 pumps (one deep water) and 2 titanium heaters with thermostats, a power strip with a timer, cleaning supplies (siphon vacuum, filter powered vacuum, and hose) and chemicals. I also have about 200 – 250 lbs of rock if you want it.

It can be viewed any evening I am asking $1300 and I will entertain any reasonable offer.

WHat kind of rock do you have? Was this setup as a freshy tank or saltwater?

I don't know what the rock is. It looks like volcanic rock, reds and browns in color. It was freshwater and had African Chiclids in it.

$1300 sounds kinda steep for an acrylic tank/stand/hood with plain fluorescent lights.

Lol Yikes he wants you to ship it LOL. That sucks man. If I where you I would throw it up on Ebay and make it a pickup only auction just my opinion.

well I am just asking because I live in Ohio and there are few and far good deals on used tanks. I don't know where he is and or if it is even still for sale. so far I have not heard from him so it might be sold or he may just not want to respond since I can't just hop on over and pick it up. I thank you for your interest in this matter. in the future I will contrive to pm so as not to be the joke for someone else. have a nice day

There are people like me who look at all sites and sometimes post . like i said there are few deals in my own area so I must look farther afield for things I want.

I just reread that and I probably came across like an A-hole. I'm sorry if thats what you think, not my intention.

I was just saying the purpose of this site is for locals to swap between one another. Obviously if your buying something and the seller will ship it doesnt matter but in terms of selling if the seller isnt local it goes against the purpose of this site.

Good luck. I hope he'll ship this thing to you. Looks pretty sweet.

I sent you an email the other day telling you that if you want to arrange pickup there is no problem. But as others have already stated, I don't want the hassle of shipping such a large item.

FROM: M SESE-SEKO
DEAR NEO66,
I AM M. SESE-SEKO WIDOW OF LATE PRESIDENT MOBUTU SESE-SEKO OF ZAIRE. NOW KNOWN AS DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC). I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER, THIS WAS IN CONFIDENCE CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION.

I ESCAPED ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO OF OUR SONS JAMES KONGOLO AND BASHER NZANGA OUT OF DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) TO ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE WHERE MY FAMILY AND I SETTLED, WHILE WE LATER MOVED TO SETTLED IN MORROCO WHERE MY HUSBAND LATER DIED OF CANCER DISEASE. HOWEVER DUE TO THIS SITUATION WE DECIDED TO CHANGED MOST OF MY HUSBAND'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DEPOSITED IN SWISS BANK AND OTHER COUNTRIES INTO OTHER FORMS OF MONEY CODED FOR SAFE PURPOSE BECAUSE THE NEW HEAD OF STATE OF (DR) MR LAURENT KABILA HAS MADE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE SWISS GOVERNMENT AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES TO FREEZE ALL MY LATE HUSBAND'S TREASURES DEPOSITED IN SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

HENCE MY CHILDREN AND I DECIDED LAYING LOW IN AFRICA TO STUDY THE SITUATION TILL WHEN THINGS GETS BETTER, LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT KABILA IS DEAD AND THE SON TAKING OVER (JOSEPH KABILA). ONE OF MY LATE HUSBAND'S CHATEAUX IN SOUTHERN FRANCE WAS CONFISCATED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, AND AS SUCH I HAD TO CHANGE MY IDENTITY SO THAT MY INVESTMENT WILL NOT BE TRACED AND CONFISCATED.

I HAVE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF EIGHTEEN MLLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS(US$18,000,000,00.) WITH A SECURITY COMPANY , FOR SAFEKEEPING. THE FUNDS ARE SECURITY CODED TO PREVENT THEM FROM KNOWING THE CONTENT. WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU WILL ASSIST US BY RECEIVING THE MONEY ON OUR BEHALF IN EXCHANGE FOR SHIPPING THE TANK. ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MESSAGE, SO THAT I CAN INTRODUCE YOU TO MY SON (KONGOLO ) WHO HAS THE OUT MODALITIES FOR THE CLAIM OF THE SAID FUNDS. WE CAN ALSO ISSUE YOU A CHECK TO COVER SHIPPING.

I WANT YOU TO ASSIST IN INVESTING THIS MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT WANT MY IDENTITY REVEALED. I WILL ALSO WANT TO BUY PROPERTIES AND STOCK IN MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES AND TO ENGAGE IN OTHER SAFE AND NON-SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS WHILE ALSO OBTAINING MORE SALTWATER REEF AQUARIUMS TO FILL MY PALACES. MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASISE THE HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY, WHICH THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS, AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND CONFIDENCE, WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU. IN CONCLUSION, IF YOU WANT TO ASSIST US , MY SON SHALL PUT YOU IN THE PICTURE OF THE BUSINESS, TELL YOU WHERE THE FUNDS ARE CURRENTLY BEING MAINTAINED AND ALSO DISCUSS OTHER MODALITIES INCLUDING REMUNERATION FOR YOUR SERVICES.

FOR THIS REASON KINDLY FURNISH US YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, THAT IS YOUR PERSONAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER FOR CONFIDENTIAL PURPOSE AND ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL USING THE ABOVE EMAIL ADDRESS.

BEST REGARDS,

M. SESE SEKO

I'm sorry ... I couldn't resist ... had just received that last week ... and it only needed a little tweaking.

To the guy in Ohio -- sorry for getting laughs at your expense ... seriously though -- do you have ANY idea how much it'd cost to ship that beast? You'd be better off buying new in Canton.

Did you ever sell that beast of a tank

Not yet.

I just dropped it to $1000 for everything and I will even help load it up. I just need to get rid of it so I can clear the space in my livingroom.

The $$$ would be nice too!

I can't tell you how much I want this tank...where the hell were you three months ago!?

neo66
12-13-2004, 01:54 PM
I will deliver it if you buy it this week....Before I sell my truck.

My Mini is the same size as the tank so I don't think it will fit.

I don't have problem picking it up - I WILL, however, have a problem functioning as a eunuch. My wife would not take kindly to the addition of a 180g to the decor - we already have a 120g.

But I sure do want it!

neo66
12-13-2004, 02:08 PM
I just posted it on a couple other sites at the $1000 price so I am hoping to get rid of it by the first of the year.

Trickman2
12-13-2004, 02:48 PM
Yeah I looked at the picture no built in overflow? Still I think 1000 is kinda steep. Also you might want to break up and sell it in pieces. Just a thought.
