Coral Reef Aquariums in Daytona

Have any of you seen the 600g acrylic tank that they have? It is currently listed for sale on CL. I was wondering how it looked in person.

Thank you.

It is pretty scratched up and is at least 6 years old. The openings at the top were routed larger then originally speced after the tank was up and running (actually had water in it while the guy used a router and no guides to make them larger). As you can imagine, they are very uneven.

The final thing, they actually cracked the euro bracing and about 3 inches down the tank while moving it. They patched it from inside.

Not really sure where anyone would have space for it since it has such a large footrpint.

PM me the listing. I'm curious what they are looking to get for it since the original owners of CRE paid very little for it as they got it as an order that someone never picked up.

$2800.

It's in the orlando section of CL. I searched "reef tank" but you could search their name since it's in the ad.

WOW, I don't think the original owners even paid that much for it new.

I know that the original owners had another tank with basically the same dimensions, just turned on it's side so that it was very tall that they let go for $1000-1500 with the sumps and pumps.

Guys drove down from somewhere up north to pick it up. Just the titanium bolts that held the center brace in place on that tank alone were worth at least $100.
