I'm selling my 55 gallon acrylic tank for 55 bucks, or trade.

Here are a few pics showing the shape/size/condition, good and bad. I'm not very good with a camera, so I have included descriptions with the photos. If you would like to see better pictures of Tenecor tanks, please visit their website. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask.

Front view of tank. Micro scratches abound on the inside, typical of all acrylic tanks. Practically invisible when full of water. I have a bottle of novus you can have if you want them gone.

Showing the shape(sort of a stretched octagon). 48x16x20(LxWxH)

ABS light fixture that holds 2 florescent bulbs(only one in pic), and sliding acrylic shield. Two cruddy ballast come with it(they work) too.

Now for the bad: Small fracture on top bracing, easy fix. I took the best pics I could of this so you know what it looks like. Someone enlarged the long opening in the back (not me), and did not radius the corners. I had planed to just glue a sheet across the whole top and cut out the middle of the tank, creating one very large opening... If you just wanted it repaired I have small pieces of acrylic to do that as well.

IMO the worst thing about this tank is that it's not set up in my house. It is a very unique aquarium, but I have to consolidate my tanks and equipment so I can keep moving forward with my newest fishy project. So, again, 55 bucks, or trade.

Thanks for looking.

What are the dimensions of it? It doesn't appear to be a standard 55 gal. If it will fit, I would like it for part of my sump/refugium thing that I'm trying to put together.

Bruce, It's not a standard size.
It's much too nice to use as a sump IMO, but if you show me $55, it's irrelevant.

If it makes you feel any better, I would be using it for a refugium so that I could see all of the cool stuff growing in it.

I think she was so tired she forgot.

Lets not go down the "marriage" road... literally.

It's mostly an issue of how much real estate within the house they encroach upon. Just selling an empty 55 gallon tank reclaimed quite a bit of space.
