[8BALL_99]

Hello MTRC, Hope you don't mind. I just posted this in our local Club Forum (N.A.R.C.) I thought I'd post it over here also since you guys are pretty close to us.

My tank is a 180 72"x24"24" with External overflow 24"6"19"so total volume is 190 Gallons. It was built by miracles in glass. The front and sides are Starphire Glass. The top is Euro Braced. Back and Bottem panel are both 5/8" Tempered Glass the front and sides are 1/2" Its drilled for a closed loop. Tank new was 2300 I'm asking 1000 for it. Here is a couple pics of it..

Nope sorry, It would but I built the stand in place. There is just no way to take it out with out pulling it apart. Besides the tank is sunk into the wall an inch so the stand/canopy are built for this.

I remember seeing your set-up in another forum. You did some nice work there. I can't take the tank, but just though I should show my love for the set-up. Good luck selling her.

Thanks!, I'm still Very happy with the tank (The stand and canopy ain't bad either The Only reason why its for sell is cause Miracles In Glass is building me a 300! I had to promise the wife I'd build the new stand and canopy so it looked just like it does now..haha

What do you mean Brian? you have that whole other wall across from your new tank.

Bump for a beautiful set up.

I did a quick search of miracles in glass and they are in ontario? How did you get that thing down here?

I love the external overflow. MAN! My internal glasscages overflow is actually larger then the aquarium itself.

 

[8BALL_99]

Yep thats right came all the way from Canada! I had it shipped here. Wasn't to bad. Then it cost me about 200. The new tank is going to cost about 350 for shipping.

I looked at glass cages. Hope you got a good one. We have a several memebers in NARC that has their tanks. Some are ok some look really bad. Between the 90day warranty and the horror stories I heard I stayed away. Besides they just couldn't build what I wanted. They are A lot cheaper though. I priced them on my new one and they were about half the cost. But that was with cross braces and internal overflows.

You can't really tell in the pictures but Miracles does the best silicone joints I've ever seen. That's one of the reason they are building my new one. They cost a little more but they are perfect.

Anyone that hasn't already check out 8ball's home site. It is a sweet build thread!

 

[eyebedam]

That is a sweet looking tank. I had thought about buying 1 from them but had never seen there work. It looks really nice. If I ever buy another custom tank I will def check them out. with recent increases in fuel I wonder if there shipping has had to increase dramatically.

 

[8BALL_99]

Oh I'm sure its went up some due to gas. My new tanks isn't that much bigger but its going to cost almost twice as much to ship. But I mean really when you consider how far it has to come it isn't that bad. Glass cages is the only builder that is close enough to pick up. So shipping would be an issue with pretty much any other builder.
