WTB 6' tank, 125 or 180

[flfirefighter13]

Im looking for a 125 or a 180 cheap. 180 must be reef ready, 125 does not have to be, would actually prefer not drilled. Can be scratched as long as the silicone is in good shape im happy, glass or acrylic will work as well. Can trade cash, A 75 g with stand, and tons of various stuff. I do not need a stand or any other equipment but wont turn down a decent package. Thanks for looking

I'll be getting rid of my 125 AGA RR in a few weeks once I change everything over to my new 345. Can you wait?

 

[flfirefighter13]

Yep, Im just starting my stand, The second 125 is going to be a show refugium/ species tank underneath my stand. What kind of money are we talking and how old is the tank?

 

[mrcrab]

I bought it used about 5 years ago. Still in good shape and holds water fine, not sure of the exact age. I've got a pine stand to go with it, a wet/dry and two strip lights.

Hadn't even thought about a price yet. I just bought a new 125 for a sump on my 345. paid $300 for that. What would you consider a fair price?

 

[flfirefighter13]

Blast me a pic of the stand whe you get a chance and Ill come up with a number, any major scratches on the glass? brian@showfocus.net . and by the way that tank your building is a beast, Cant wait to see it finished!

 

[mrcrab]

No major scratches. I'll shoot you a pic tomorrow.

I can't wait to see it finished either!

Here's the stand pics:

Could use a light sanding and a new coat of poly.

looks good, let me know when it ready and if I havent found a 180 by then we should be able to work something out

 

[mrcrab]

No problem. I'm in Ormond if you happen to be in the neighborhood and want to have a look in person. LMK and I'll pm you my number.

Should be before Christmas. I'm expecting the rest of the stuff for the 345 this week and it should be close to being cycled.

 

[flfirefighter13]

Sounds good, go ahead and PM me your number, It wont be till this weekend at the soonest but I may be up that way later this or next week. Know any good LFS up that way? Im always looking, so far the furthest north Ive found was the two off of mason. Coral reef was one, cant remeber the others name but it was on nova and mason

[mrcrab]

Hey Brian,

I haven't forgotten about you. The new tank is still cycling. Going through a huge diatom bloom at the moment.

Barry, I actually got a deal I couldnt pass on 2 for the price of one, Im trying to get rid of the thrid 125 I have now to get a 180 instead. Ill pass your info on to a few friends and see if anyones looking.
Thanks for keeping me in mind! Let me know if you ever need a hand with that monster setup going on, Im up that way often and would love to see it.

 

[mrcrab]

Feel free to stop by anytime. You've got my number just give me a ring first to make sure I'm here.

[flfirefighter13]

Ill take you up on that sometime soon, always looking for ideas on the next sized tank

2 for 1? Were they used tanks? Do they have any more?

 

[flfirefighter13]

yeah, barely used fresh out of an install, I just lucked out right time right place and a wife that let me take advantage of it. They dont have any more that I know of but it was greg at the fish bowl that hooked me up this time, may check in with him. Ive had good luck with asking all the stores around town about used tanks but I think its just sweet timeing mostly.
