Do Not Listen To Me!!!
Ok I know I should just get down to the reason for this thread but I have to give a shout out to all the people who gave me the "Your supposedly getting" a new tank stuff. You know who you are and that is all that matters. Plus now the Tang Police can swim away from me.
SO now here is the deal.
It is a 220Gal with Dual Overflows on the back panel. The tanks measurements say it is 205 gallons but I think they were not correct. I know 72x24x30 is 224 but they gave the height at 27.5" so I think the stand and canopy were blocking the little extra on both the top and bottom.
Ok so a 220 gal that sits on a Marineland Chocolate stand. It is the one that has the 3 panels on the canopy and stand. It also has a sump included as well as a Hy-Drive Pump.
He said it will turn over the tank 10 times an hour but the largest one I found is the 6000 model HY-Drive Aquarium Pumps | Water Pumps | PetSolutions and it is expensive but doesn't look to turn over 220 plus a 40gal sump 10 times an hour. I could just be wrong in calculating it.
Anyway so the tank, stand, canopy and pump for $1200 In the photo it looks brand new without a mark on the stand or anything. They said they haven't had it long so.
They also have a Marineland 72" Light they wanted $500 for. It is the 150x3 MH with what she said was 12 T5s but I only saw a 6 T5 model and LEDS. I am going to offer them $300 because new it is $1200 when I looked. I just know $300 is a steal and the light is hardly used. It has the timer and one plug.
So just say if I got it all for $1500 to me that is a damn good deal.
It will take me a little bit to get sand and cycle the tank so maybe like a month or so from now. Only bad thing is my skimmer is too small for the tank but I can either use it or run without one so I figure it is better than nothing for now.
I will eventually sell my 80Gal Bowfront with the stand and canopy and probably include my Aqueon Proflex sump and my 48" lights. I have 2 sets, my Aquaticlife 4x54 with Moon LEDS and my just purchased a few months back 6x54 Nova Extreme Pro.
I may sell the Nova alone but not sure. I paid like $350 I think so I have no idea what I will ask at this point. I think I saved the box. I actually did the Aquaticlife is stored in it for backup. Makes shipping easier if it ever comes down to it.
I was thinking I would keep all my pumps for backups though for emergency since I know nothing about the pump coming with it.
Thoughts?
