400 Gallon Acrylic Tank

[ca1ore]

I have made the 'difficult' decision to exit the hobby and dispense with my tanks. I've just lost interest frankly and looking to simplify my life . While I do plan to sell the fish, some corals, and the equipment ... I'm giving the 400-gallon tank, the stand, hood, overflow, and some of the larger colonies away for free. Tank is huge - 96" long, 36" wide and 30" tall. No major scratches in the front panel. The catch is, you have to come and help me break it down and carry away the tank and stand. It took about a day to setup initially, so I figure about a day to break it down. Even empty, the acrylic tank weighs close to 600 pounds so it's a multiple man job (4 if young and strong; 6 if old and weak like me). I have dollys, and it's a short, straight shot into the garage.

You can look at my build thread to see the tank.

Probably best to do this once the weather warms up a bit, so maybe March.

I AM LOCATED IN STAMFORD CT .... OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS LOCAL PICKUP

Man is everything alright ?

that is a big decision .. to “give away”

 

[ca1ore]

Yes, everything’s fine LOL. I got talked into keeping the smaller tank so not leaving the hobby after all. It’s really hard to sell big tanks and frankly, giving it away means I don’t have to damage myself by trying to lug it. Even ‘giving it away’ I only had a few serious inquiries. I think it’s part of the human condition to think your used stuff is worth more than it really is.

lol yeah I noticed that a lot of that occurs.

Ok yes I looked at your thread and then started thinking , something isn’t right with this guy and giving things away Is a bad sign in my line of work.

all jokes aside glad your staying in hobby

Lest my credentials as capitalist be called into question, I did sell the livestock and equipment
