LF: Donation, Cheap, or Trade- 36 to 48" long acrylic aquarium

I am finally teaching at a school where I am likely to be for more than just a temporary contract and I am looking for an acrylic aquarium to set up in my classroom. In the future I would like to have some type of coral propagation club, but first I would like to get started with a nice mixed display to get the kids interested and involved.

Needs to be 36-48" long and less than 17" wide (depth) for the area I can fit it in my small room.

Preferred black back; clear would work too.

Right side overflow would be awesome.

Looking for:

1. Donation would, of course, be my first preference. I can get a tax writeoff donation letter from my school.

2. Or I could buy for a small amount of money- I know I am going to have to spend money once I get a setup, so would prefer to minimize startup cost.

3. Also could trade- could just trade aquarium or possibly tank and equipment if you have a setup with equipment. I got a setup generously donated from a member here, but unfortunately the spot I had for it partially blocks a door. awesome thing is it came with some quality equipment- some older- but definitely nice and functional.

I have:

- 48 x 24 x 24 eurobraced glass aquarium with left corner overflow. This came from an in-wall installation, so no stand.

- Tunze 7095 controller and (2) 6100 pumps

- (2) 3/4" Seaswirl rotating flow deflectors

- Tunze Osmolator(s)

- Dolphin large return pump

- various MAG pumps

- was planning to use this, but would be willing to trade - MRC sump, basically 24" cube

- Euroreef large 8" diameter skimmer

- lots of plumbing fittings/flex hose

- MRC waste collector

- MRC Calcium Reactor, CO2 tank, valves - might use, but probably overkill

- other stuff

I can use most of the equipment, but willing to trade also.

Thanks for looking and your consideration. I am sure I will be posting in the near future to see if I can get other stuff donated like live rock, frags, etc..

!!THANKS!!
 
I have several 48" acrylic tanks- a 55 and two 35ish gallons. Pretty scratched up and all have 2 bulkheads in each corner (total of 4 bulkheads) for overflow/return. They need to be buffed out. I'm interested in the glass tank and would be glad to trade (with me throwing in lots of other stuff to make it more balanced). Send me a PM if this sounds okay. Only issue is I leave town tomorrow a.m. for a week. I can also donate some softies regardless just to help the cause.
 
PMs sent/replied

Thanks for the generous offers! So far, still looking for the right tank. don't think I can make a left overflow work because I cannot run plumbing under- I can only send it out the right side of the tank.
