Beautiful. How tall is the stand & canopy? What is the overall height assembled? Thanks.

Do you any other pictures of the stand?

 

[TheRealRuk]

I'll measure it all today after work. What angle you looking for frofan?

 

[frofan]

Trying to get a feel for how the wood looks. Does it have doors on 3 sides?

 

[TheRealRuk]

I'll take some pictures today.. Looking at the stand from the front, there are 2 doors on the left side and 2 in the front (hinges). The right side is one big panel that pops off (magnets). Back has 2 panels that come off (magnets).

Stand: 33 1/4in (The stand is 34in tall but the tank sits a little over 3/4 inch in.)
Canopy: 14in (Actually 15in tall but overlaps on tank 1 inch) - Canopy Folded on top itself: 29in (30in minus the 1 inch overlap)
Tank - 27

If you want to fold the canopy onto itself like in the pictures with the set disassembled, I think you need 37in from the top of the tank to clear the arc.

So.. I believe the tank with stand and canopy is 89.24in tall. If you wanted to make the arc swing of the canopy you would need 97.25 inches.

I stopped short literally by less then 1/4 inch from making the arc. I would have pushed it but I have popcorn cellings... So I just proped it up with a pre cut 2x4 on what ever end I wasn't working on. (I wrote "Remove Feeder" on the 2x4's so I wouldn't forget to remove the feeder resting above my T5... It didn't work... :roll eyes: I'm down a feeder... )

Okay, I'm done with the pictures. I haven't wiped it down yet, so it's still dusty/creepy... I do have plenty of "Black Bean" paint to touch anything up.

Well the boss said "NO!". So sad because this looks like an absolutely beautiful setup.

 

[Capt_Cully]

And a hell of a steal! I'm shocked it hasn't sold! Somebody man-up!!!!

"The boss said no!?!" .

Come on man grow a pair....uh what ...Nothing Honey....I gotta go....I gotta change the baby....

 

[TheRealRuk]

Sold! The power of PayPal... . And I know all about "the boss"...

 

[frofan]

Dang, I really wanted this. Just a few hours late!

 

[Capt_Cully]

Congrats. It can be nerve racking to have a big empty tub in the house. Bigger tanks can be a tough sell at times.

 

[Todd_Sails]

Is that a DIY stand and hood?

I really liked the hood, all those hinges and doors, and the way it folded in half, etc.

Nicely plumbed to the basement. What happened, why did you sell? Just curious

 

[TheRealRuk]

I was surprised at how fast it sold, I guess timing is everything. I put it up a little lower than I had originally intended... I don't have the energy for this kinda thing...

Why did I sell it? I downgraded to a 57 rimless... I just have too much on my plate, kids, work, newly wed, new house, got our 3rd dog (IrishWolfhound) the same month as we started the 150 project... The maintenance on the 57 compared to the 150... I already had the sump and hardware all set up... "The boss" was strongly opposed to the downgrade. I figure I can ride the 57 out for a couple few years (learn) and then go large again...

 

[victorcan]

Damn matt, that was such a sweet cube so funny cause every tank i ever had I always wanted bigger and bigger . here you are with a wet dream cube and you drop down... But you are right just doing water changes on a 150 is a chore in itself... Im sure your new rimless is pretty sick though I gotta come check it out.. hit me up, that 380 is still in pieces The fall is here

 

[TheRealRuk]

The tank is back up for sale.

Was sold but the buyer is unable to pick it up, or give me a date when he will be able to pick it up. I even offered to drop it off in Rochester for $75... 6 weeks later, I need my garage back for the winter.

Tank is currently in Orchard Park, right off the 219...

Price is still $600...

 

[davidpesce]

This is so tempting! If my dream tank wasn't a 4'x3' I'd snag this.
