I knew if I was persistent enough I would get my wife to cave.lol I found a old but never used 75 gal acrylic tank with a center overflow. I did find four scratches though.3 on the back and one on the front. The bottom was scratched to hell though I guess from sliding across the floor. Good thing sand will cover the bottom. However I got such a good price I couldn't say no. He was asking 100.00 because he's moving his store and it would be less to haul, so I told the worker to call his boss and tell him I wanted a better price (HAHA I would have bought it is he said no) and he said his boss would take 80.00. So now it's mine. All mine! LOL I can't get it till tomarrow and I will have some pics then. This is one build that will stay up and last...unlike the 55 and 10 LOL


What do you think of this stand? I think this is the one I will build! The build might not start till mid june when we get back from our cruise though.

Yeah, but the one that Bobby bought is drilled and has an overflow. Which will cost a lot more than $1/gallon.

I think you got a good deal and am waiting on pics!

Yeah so was mine, but acrylic nor reef ready tanks were near that price. I aske how much a RR 75 AGA tank was and if I remember right it was close to 200.00, but you could but the AGA 75 for 75.00. I didn't price the acrylic one because he told me it would be more than the RR AGA 75.

I wish I did. Damn thing had a f*&%ing leak. I put in on my back deck started filling and it started leaking, so I took it back. Dang this was like the perfect tank for me. I very pissed about the whole stuation. Well here is the one pic I did get while it was about half full.
