ASKING: $2000.00
We are selling our beloved beast, as we've moved to a new home where the space and the tank are just not quite right for each other. We purchased this custom tank used about 2.5 years ago and ran it fairly successfully until about 3 months ago. It features the following characteristics:
54" wide x 30" deep x 20" ht. - on a 30" high extruded aluminum frame by 80/20.net
3/4" Glass panels - Starfire front and side panel (the right panel is not starfire, I do not know why).
Milled schedule 80 base panel - all exterior glazing 'seats' making for a solid seal.
'Coast to coast' wier, separated from the main chamber with a 1/2" glass panel and attached plastic panel with slotted comb.
Central panel has a hole for a 1" bulkhead, allowing for closed loop circulation, wave maker or any number of flow options.
base panel Drilled for dual 1.5" drains, and a 1" emergency drain with dual 1" return holes.
The stand is very robust and is fit exactly to the tank with extruded aluminum struts. The top panel is attached and is marine grade plywood, drilled with tension holes and holes to match drain and return locations. I ordered aluminum sheet to enclose the stand, but these have remained unfinished - easy to rectify if you are so motivated.
We will include what plumbing you see, but we needed to cut the bulkheads to facilitate a speedy move (lacked the right tool at the moment of need...). I probably do not need to elaborate on the cost of 1.5" union valves, but they are included too.
Here is our build thread, where you'll find pictures of it with stuff in it. We will start a new one shortly, as we build our smaller systems up!

Because this tank is a heavy monster, this is pick up only, located in Monterey, California. You'll need at least 2 strong individuals, and likely a van or large flatbed to move it.
Speaking from experience, the tank is amazing to maintain as it's shallower then most and you don't need crazy tools to reach everything. The PVC base is something we didn't know we wanted, but will forever be thankful for. Simply, it is impressive to look at, and we love this tank. We thought it was our 'forever tank', if only we could afford a slightly larger house in Cali...
Please let me know if you'd like more specifics and I will be happy to respond. We might be willing to negotiate the price down as well, if presented with a livestock/equipment/cash offer.
Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am a long time lurker, and now finally trying to step into the light! This is my first big post, so if the formatting is awful I apologize and will get better, I promise. My wife and I recently acquired an amazing tank for an ‘amazing’ deal. Seriously - I’m lucky, we are both...
