      100 Gallon 6 Foot Tank and Stand $100

      *SOLD*

      Well the time has finally come. My tank is empty, and we moved it out this morning. We did an initial cleanup but it is not perfect. The tank is fairly scratched up, it was used as a sea turtle tank before I acquired it and those suckers must have some sharp toes. It looks great from a couple feet away, but once you try to take a pic of a coral through the front glass it becomes obvious how many micro scratches there are. I resealed it about 8 years ago and it has been running perfectly since then. It has an external bean animal overflow setup with a good sized, almost coast to coast, internal overflow. Back of glass is painted dark blue.

      The stand is just a 2x4 stand based on the rocket engineer design. It is very open, but I had always planned to skin it, to make it more furniture/ cabinet like. Ready for you to finish up where I left off.

      I am located in San Marcos, about 2 blocks south of Aquatica.

      Price is 100 bucks and I will help you load it. Two of us should be able to get it in a truck/ van/ trailer no problem. Don't bring a Miata, and expect it to fit.

      Size with stand and tank is 72.5 W x 24 D x 54.5 H

      Tank is 72.5 W x 18.5 D x 20.5 H

      Pictures to come in next post

      Pics of the tank from a few minutes ago, I just did a quick sanding on the stand. It will need a new coat of paint.





      Pic draining it last night for size reference.



      Pic from a few years ago... I always liked the dimensions of this tank. Very easy to work with for cleaning and coral placement.

      Wow, long time. Hope all is well with you and the family!

      Unfortunately it is so.... About time to start working on that area of the house and it is just easier to get the tank out of the way so progress can be made. Also going to fee up a lot of garage space so I can get the garage/ shop more organized.

      Are you planning on setting up another tank afterward?

      No plans at the moment. It will be a few years before there is a tank again. Like when the munchkin goes off to college ;-)

      I will include some plumbing with the tank if wanted as well. I have a pile of stuff, so I am sure you could almost complete the drain and return setups.

      Just bumping this up. I got a few pms, but no-one has shown up to claim it yet. I also will include the mesh top to keep those jumpers from escaping.

      Bump this up. I am open to offers. We will be leaving for Christmas vacation soon, if you want it, only a few more days to grab it. Then it will be available after the new year.
