Selling my 300 Gallon Set up. Complete

OK guys and gals,

I have been working on this set up for a long time now. It is pretty much done, and I have started a new business, and just can't keep up with everything.

Here is what I have:

1. 300 Gallon Tenecor Acrylic tank - has a middle overflow with 4 holes 2 1" drains and 2 3/4" returns with line locs at the top. The tank is 10' x 2' x 2'. Bulkheads are all included. The stand is a custom made stand that I built. It is very sturdy, and there are 5 doors across the front, and 1 door on each end. The stand isn't perfect, but it is very functional and sturdy. Almost everything to run the tank fits in the stand which was important to me.

This tank alone built on Tenecor's site is over $4000 last I checked. I bought it used at Emperor's Ocean before Jason Closed up.

2. The sumps consist of two 50 Gallon tanks that are drilled and plumbed together. Baffles are custom made, and work very well. One tank is a sump with a skimmer that all fits underneath the tank in the stand. The other tank has baffles as well that make the refugium work. Both tanks have pretty large returns exactly the same size, and are plumbed together, so they are constantly the same level of water in each.

3. The skimmer is a large custom made skimmer with a sedra 9000 pump feeding it. I have an ozone also that runs right into the skimmer. All work very well, and you can see it in action in person anytime.

4. The return pump is a GenX18000, and moves the water very well. Assisting the GenX in water movement are 4 Maxi Jet 1200 with the Sure Flow mods and Suregrip Magnets.

5. There is $1000 in sand in the tank that has been in there since I started running it so is probably pretty good and alive. There is some live rock included with the tank, but not much. The tank has been up and cycling for a few months, but I never really got around to getting enough live rock yet.

There is more I am forgetting, and will list when I remember. I am going to include a couple of pics during the build, but the tank has come a long way since then, but give you an idea what the tank and stand look like. The tank is currently running with all plumbing and everything done. All is included, so you can set it up and run it once set up at your house.

I have added up my cost in this tank, and it is almost $4300 in cost on my own.

I am asking $3000 OBO. Call 505-401-5089 or email at corkurz@hotmail.com

Is there any scratches in the Acrylic? At least it will fit through a normal door. How come you are not setting it up? Thanks

Steffen,

It is setup, and running right now. Full of water, and you can come see it. There were some scratches in the acrylic when I bought it, but I buffed the heck out of it. I think there might be a couple, but you can't really see them with water in it.

I plan on keeping it if it doesn't sell, however, the reason I am selling it is because I am starting a new business which is my second business, and I am working 24/7. Haven't had the time to get the live rock set up the way I want, and maintain the tank properly. I figured if someone wanted to buy it, they could take much better care of the setup than me. I will be pretty bogged down over the next year or so working pretty much all the time.

If you want to come check it out, call me at 505-401-5089. Thanks for the interest.
 
I am still interested in selling this tank if anyone is interested. My price is Best Offer.

Also, there is about 200 lbs of live rock in it now, and several corals and a few inhabitants. The Fuge is coming along very well now with loads of Copepods (Sp?) and other inhabitants in the fuge now.

Come check it out. Call me if interested.

Yeah, too bad. It probably would have saved you loads of money. I went and built this tank on Tena-Core's site, and it was ridiculous, how much it cost. I couldn't believe it.

Anyways, good luck with your tank, would love to see some pictures when you get her in.
 
What kind of corals do you have? Would you be willing to part with them? I am not intersted in anything else, just corals if you have some. Thanks!
 
Not really, sorry. I continue to keep building the tank the way I want, so unless someone buys the whole thing outright, I am not interested selling anything separately. Thanks for the offer though.

I don't know too many people looking for 300 Gallon tanks, but maybe someone might be interested at some point.
 
If it came with the house i would be all over it!!! I just dont have the room anymore for another one in my old little apartment. :( I would just keep it if you can,

LOL....Coming with the house can be arranged if you like, but it is going to be a bit more expensive.

Yeah, I can't really decide what I am doing to be honest. I have a ton of hobbies these days, and not enough money to cover them all. I could sell the big tank, and just keep my smaller tanks.

Anyways, Still for sale if anyone is interested.
 
Hi.
Any top to the tank, or is it designed to be open?
Lighting?
Willing to help with relocation and set up?

Thanks!
 
No top, I kept the top open to help keep the temperature down because the room it is in is hot in the summers. I was doing 3 400Watt Pendents above the tank, but that isn't included. Just what is stated above.

I can help with relocation and setup depending on where you live. I have a truck, but it will take at least two trips, probably three to get it moved.

Give me a call, and we can discuss the details if you are interested. 505-401-5089
 
Still for sale if anyone is interested. This is a pretty good setup, and tons of money into the setup. Got a few little fishes and critters in there now, and everyone is doing well.

Just trying to keep this current so if anyone strolls in here, they see it. LOL

Man if I could find that kinda money I would deff take it form you like I said before! Payments? lol

Payments possibly, but would have to be over a short period of time like 3 months or so. I would just assume you save the money and buy it all at once because I can't move it until it is all paid for.

Whats the thickness of the acrylic and is there any scratches? thanks Greg

1/2" Acrylic, and really not many scratches to speak of. It did have a few, but I thoroughly buffed the entire inside and outside when I purchased it.

I would say you could probably find a few scratches, but nothing really noticeable.

BTW, you can call me anytime at 505-401-5089, as I don't get on here all that often. I will try to make more regular appearances though.
 
Considering selling this again. Thought I would bump the old thread.

There is a A LOT more coral and fish in the tank now that go with it.
 
R u getting out of the hobby or just selling this tank setup? R u still wanting to sell as a complete setup or willing to part?
 
Still want to sell as a complete setup. If I can sell this tank, I will still run a smaller tank, so not necessarily getting out of the hobby. But I do want to downsize a little.
