FS - Brand New Custom-Made 155G Oceanic Tank and Stand - Peninsula Style (Room Divider)
I have a brand new, never used, custom-made Oceanic tank I am considering selling. It is 155G - Dimensions are 60"L x 24"W x 25"H

This was a custom job made by Oceanic. I had them build it with a single overflow centered on one of the shorter ends - this was so that the tank could be used peninsula-style or as a room-divider viewable on 3 sides. The overflow is drilled with 4 holes - 2 accept 1" bulkheads and 2 accept 3/4" bulkheads. Those of you who are familar with Oceanic might also know that their tanks come with nicer trim than your standerd tank, plus slightly thicker glass and neater silicone-work. In addition, this tank has a matching black oak stand (also never used).

Oceanic warrants their tanks for 5 years, I believe, as long as you use one of their stands with it. Anyone who buys this will be provided with the sales receipt so they have a record of the sale and therefore the warranty info.

I do not want to make any money from this tank, but I do want to sell it at my cost. However, my cost was a wholesale cost from a LFS. We were doing a mutual 'help me' - 'help you' agreement. I was helping them drum up some business for a new place and providing a handful of coral frags here and there - they were helping me out with a beautiful new tank at their cost.

The tank is not cheap - $1250 total for tank, stand, covers. So serious inquiries only please. If you are seriously looking for something like this, just contact Oceanic or a LFS in your area and have them price out a similar tank and stand for you. I think you'll find that they want in the neighborhood of 1600-1700 for it.

Ohh, BTW, I'm only getting rid of it (maybe) because the placement of the tank has changed and new options opened up.
 
OK. Lots of pics finally. It's in a dimly lit room and hard to get really good shots but here goes the best I can do:

My last big push to try to sell this. If seriously interested, make an offer.

If I dont find a definite buyer in the next couple weeks, probably one of 2 things happens. Either it goes out the door with one of the guys helping me move the new tank into the house, or it goes into storage for a LONG time. Once the new tank is moved in, it's doubtful I'll have another 'moving' party for a while. :)
 
I sent you Bill... Did he annoy the H E double hockey sticks out of you as well...?

I was hoping he'd take it so I could get some frags with my commission. I'm eying up some of that Metalic Red Milli you have...

Talked to Bill. He sounded interested, but I cant tell HOW interested. I'm waiting to hear back from him, but I have to keep looking. If I dont sell by the time the new tank arrives, chances are I wind up holding on to this for the time being.

If he takes it, you can have a frag of the red mille :)
 
I should get one a ticket into heaven...

I can't tell you how many times he tried to trade me work for my tank. I can finish my own basement. He wantsmy 300, but was initally scared away by the 1800$ pricetag, But now I have a plan for it and would hate to see it go.
