Anyone have a 55+ gallon tank for sale?

Mikeyjer · Feb 26, 2006

Anyone have a 55+ gallon tank with stand for sale? I need to get one for my best friend's husband. His birthday is coming up and a new one is a little out of my price range. He's got a SW tank like around 37 gallon and I know he wanted a bigger one. If you got one, let me know on the price. Thanks!!

Btkrausen mentioned a 55 tank with cherry stand and some PC lights a couple of days ago:

thanks crumbletop for the 75 mention. I have no idea why I've had so much trouble selling that thing considering it's basically brand new.
I have a 55 too that was my primary tank for 3 years when I was fish only. It has it's fair share of visible scratches though so unless you can get them buffed out I wouldn't bother. It was the worst tank ever for reef though IMO. I would never do another 55 for reef. I'd do something smaller before I did a 55.

My freind still has this 55 with custom canopy in her basement. It was set up for about 7 months last year, perfect shape. 50lbs of the agg, stealth heater, hydrometer and few extras. I will have to check about a price. Not RR.

I need something less then a $100 range guys! I have animals too feed and rent to pay. Can't really afford that much right now, thanks!!!

My above post sounds kinda bad... :lol:
We bought too much stuffs lately and tight on budget and with his b-day within two weeks, it's very tight!!! I wish his b-day was during summer, by then all the bills would be gone. I wouldn't try to search one for cheap... :lol:
Well, let's go for around $200 then....Any bids??

CHEAPOoooooooooooooo!

Just kidding.

I don't know how much he wants for that 75gal, but that would probably suit you best. Also, you should get something with more width than what just a standard 55 has. With as much LR as you have, you should get something with a minimum of 18" width. Wider tanks look better imho.

There was a store here in Clarksville that was selling a 55 gallon new just tank and stand no hood for $99.99. I think the hood was another $35.00 or so. I'll check into it for you.
