FS: Older 90g Oceanic tank and stand

[cody6766]

I've had this tank around for several years and haven't used it in a while. I bought it used and housed South American Cicilids in it for quite some time, but had to take it down when I got married and moved back in '09. It was packed in a crate and made the move down to Pensacola where it sat in the garage. It was moved back here in Oct and I just don't want to look at it anymore. The stand was not crated and probably doesn't look as good as it did in the pic below. I refinished it before taking that pic back in 08 or so. I'm 99% positive the tank is in the same shape it was in when it went into the crate. I looked in and didn't see any breakage, but will remove it and double check if someone is seriously interested in it.

The tank is a standard 4' long 90g with that fake wood trim that Oceanic used back in the day. The glass center brace fell out a long time ago. I kept fish in it for many months w/o knowing it was supposed to be there, so take that for what it's worth. The stand is the typical wood/plywood stand used back then. It is sturdy and was finished with Mahogany polyshades. Both should still be fully functional, but I haven't leak tested it in several years. I'm selling this As-Is because I just want it gone.

Again, I'll pull it out of the crate to double check the glass if someone is seriously interested, but I"m 99% sure it's okay.

This was shot when I was first filling it for my Cichlids

How's $125 sound?

 

[cody6766]

I'm also open to offers. The $125 isn't firm.

I might also be open to trades. I'm possibly in the market for new lighting over my Solana. A good 24" T5 fixture or a nice SE MH pendent would be fine. A used DIY LED project would be interesting too. Make me an offer. The worst I could say is I"m not interested.

I cant tell in the pic, but is it RR?

 

[cody6766]

No. Just a standard glass box

 

[BruceW67]

do you know if the rear panel is tempered? got a friend looking to upgrade from a standard 55 to a 90, but he wants it drilled.

 

[cody6766]

I"m not sure if it is or not. I bought it used and I don't remember any tags or anything saying one way or another.

 

[BruceW67]

ok... let me do some research on that tank

 

[cody6766]

Bump

I would like to get this thing out of my garage. $100 OBO. I"m still open to trades too. Things I"m interested in are: 4-6 bulb 24" TEK light, 14g Biocube stand, coral, and maybe some other stuff.

 

[cody6766]

$50

My be interested. How's the glass is it pretty clear?

 

[cody6766]

It's not bad. I'm not sure if it's the same or worse than newer 90g tanks, but it's a little greened. I'm sure it's due to the thickness. As for scratches, honestly I don't remember. I don't remember anything terrible, but it's been a while. I'll see about taking it out of the crate this weekend. If I have time I'll pull it out, take some detailed pics and leak test it.

If psychobilly doesn't want it and it doesn't leak I will take it off your hands, I beleive it will fit on the trailer I pull behind my scooter.

 

[cody6766]

Update time.

I took it out of the crate yesterday and filled it. Idont see any visible bowing and it shows no signs of leaking. I did notice a very small chip on one of the edges, but it is very superficial and doesn't affect the silicone at all. I would use it in my house if I had the space.

 

[Cyn_D]

I'll take it! Call me to so I can get it out it of your way this Weekend!

[cody6766]

Sounds good. Just a heads up, I noticed 2 small chips smaller than the first I described on another pane. They are also superficial and the tank still shows no signs of leaks

 

[Cyn_D]

No prob

 

[SteelHorseRider]

Does that mean psychobilly doesn't want it? I don't check RC daily.

 

[cody6766]

He hasn't spoken up. I forgot who asked about it earlier and didn't read the earlier posts. I just quickly threw up the update. If you still want it I think it would only be fair to let you have first go at it.
Cynd, I'll put you inline, but he spoke up first. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Cyn_D]

Ok let me know. Need a tank ASAP
I sold mine to get a different one and they are sitting in a big tub

 

[cody6766]

Oh, wow. If he doesn't check back by Saturday I'll call it yours on Sunday. I also have a drilled 40 breeder if you're in a tight bind. I think I have a 20 long that I used to use as a sump for it too. The 40g is one from petsmart and lacks the overflow. It just has a hole. I'd let the 20 and 40 go for $50 as well.
