Free 270 gallon glass aquarium

Freed

It's what it's
Yeah, can you believe it? My brother is giving me a brand new 270 gallon glass aquarium with two center braces. I still have to pick it up on Saturday. I haven't seen it yet but I hope I can get it drilled or drill it myself if the back panel isn't tempered. Will post pics this weekend after I pick it up. He bought two 300 gallon tanks brand new from a woman going thru a divorce. Yeaaaa for me. Wooohoooo!!!
 
very nice :) whats it gunna cost ya though to get all the goodies to get that 270 in use though lol
 
That's way down the road. My 180 is taking up all the available space in my first floor right now. It may be going though.
 
I'm going to have a buddy maintenance guy here at work make me a 2" square stock steel stand for free as well so that's a nice deal there. Don't know what else I'm going to do with it at this time though.

Actually they are 84"x31"x24 from what he says so that comes out to the 270 that I stated above.

Considering I skimp and rig where I can it will probably cost anywhere from 3-6 or 8 hundred bucks to get it the way I want it, but not necessarily the way it should be.

I just got approval from the top dog maintenance engineer to use as much 2" square stock tubing as I want to make the stand.

Anyone have any suggestions or pics of a steel stand they made and how they covered it with wood trim and paneling/doors? This will probably NOT be built into a wall anytime soon and will probably just sit in the living room in place of my 180 some day so I would like to be able to cover the steel with nice looking wood trim and such to make it look good.
 
Don't you know it's against the RC U.A. to post "FREE" in the thread subject unless you are actully giving something away
 
Just read it. Doesn't say that anywhere. Please point me to it so I can read it and have the Mods alter my thread title if necessary. Thanks.
 
Here it is in my storage unit. Don't have any room for it in my house.

Took 4 of us to move it and I almost dropped my corner when I stepped off the porch because I didn't know there was a step there.
 
Reading the title it sounds like your giving away the tank. :)

Vetter1980: At least you got the stick, I'd prefer that over my sister-in-law. ;)
