FS or Trade 65 gal breeder w artificial rock wall

[mgraf]

In the process of upgrading and will, in the next week, have a 65 gal. 48x18x18 up for grabs. I constructed a pretty cool rock wall that goes across the back and around the rear return. The wall is covered with coraline and has many feather dusters and some zoo's growing on it. It is pretty realistic looking, and is hard to tell the difference from the rock wall and my live rock. The tank has two chips in the glass on the front corners (was that way when I got it) they are just cosmetic. Has held water with no leaks for a year and a half. I will post some pics later, once I begin to get some of my live rock and livestock out so you can better see the wall. Only asking for 50 bucks because of the chips. Trade for just about anything! Just hate to let this beautiful rock wall die off, so before I drain the water in the next week or so, I wanted to see if anybody was interested.
Thanks
Matt

I'm interested. Would love to see a pic first. More interested in the return placement (it needs to fit into my system).

 

[boostedirl]

interested, do you have any pics?

 

[mgraf]

I will post a pic or two here later today but, in order to see the wall better, I gotta get some of the coral and rock out. The return is a 2"ish hole in bottom, left, rear of the tank. I built an acrylic wall around the pipe and the rock wall goes across 3/4 of the back and then around the acrylic box. I just picked up a 120 today, but I need some time to get it cleaned up, do a little modification to my stand, and move rock and livestock to another system in the basement. I would like to wait to drain the 65 until someone is here to pick it up. I figure that way, we could soak some towels in saltwater, lay them across the wall to keep it moist for transport. Hopefully, everything would survive better that way. Kind of a low tide, if you will. I will get pics up and then more once I get the rock out. For trades I could really use a return pump, mag 12 or bigger would be nice. I'm not really looking to get much out of this, I just put a lot of time into the wall and, in my opinion, it came out better than I expected. It is the main reason why I went back and forth about upgrading to the larger tank.
Thanks,
Matt

I've got either a mag 12 or 18 I could trade you. I leave for vacation tomorrow and get home on July 14th so I wouldn't be able to get it until then if you want that trade. Let me know.

 

[mgraf]

got about half the rock and coral out today, will be posting pics soon!

 

[mgraf]

Finally got some pics!

Plan on taking it down this weekend, will keep it full of saltwater with a pump for circulation. Pm me for phone number.

Thanks
Matt

Where you located?

 

[mgraf]

About 6 miles west of Massillon

If anybody wants this, just come and get it! It is doing fine on the back porch but, I don't want to maintain it out there and I don't know how long it will last outside. Free to good home!

 

[boostedirl]
