WTB: a 36x15x20 tank ASAP

[dannieboiz]

Gonna give this one last shot b4 I use my old sump.

I'm looking for a Glass or Acrylic tank for my sump. 36x15x20 would be ideal cause my current sump is 36x15x15. I need the extra volume since my tank got bigger. I'm in SJ so the closer the bigger. But since I'm desperate, I'd take a drive to pick it up.

This may be overkill, but we have one that we used for almost a year up to the point where we built our own. It is a custom sump made by a company down in LA (We bought it through an LFS so I don't know exactly which company made it). It measures 48"L X 16"W X 18"T. Here is a picture of it in use back when we had it set up. There are no bulkheads or other hole cut into this sump at this time. It looks to be able to hold approx 60 gallons overall.

We paid over $500 for this one new (but again, it was through an LFS) and it served us well with the 'fuge section coming in handy and getting us started with loving 'fuges. It is very well built, with the holders for the large filter socks. It is built with 5/16" acrylic. We were looking to get $185 for this. (that would basically cover material cost if one were to make their own, and bought the acrylic from Tap Plastic).

LMK if you are interested , we could meet up in Pleasant Hill or someplace around that area (Concord, Walnut Creek, etc). I will also be up in the Sacremento/Elk Grove area this Friday, late morning, for a couple of hours, if you happen to be around there then.

Either way the best of luck in finding your setup a good sump

I can't fit anything more than 36" since my stand is only 47x25x28 internal dimension.... I need the space to fit my skimmer, reactor, C02 and a bunch of other junks.


I can consider the 36x15x24 but then I will only end up with 4" of clearance to work with inside my sump... Only if I can cut a whole into the bottom of the stand and drop the sump on the floor then it would be perfect. Let me see what happens.

Cut the top man .. it shouldn't be hard..

 

[dannieboiz]

That's possible, but I don't have if christian's tank is glass or acrylic

[Sparkss]

and our only other sump is even smaller than your original sump, so one too big and one too small... sorry

 

[T-T-Trigger]

dude, was it you that wanted the 65 i had? i know it's a drive, sry, just confusled - since i think 50 bucks is an awesome price, but if the dimensions are wrong i totally understand. did my last e-mail not get recieved? you seemed so excited about it?

 

[Elite]

T-T-Trigger,
I thought that tank was sold to fish... (sorry don't remember the name) ... I know Danny still want your tank.

 

[dannieboiz]

Sorry = T-T-Trigger when i talk to Elite he said someone else wanted it and that u had promised him it. I did not want to jump into someone else's deal.

[dannieboiz]

Lodi is cool I can always pick it up on my way fishing. send me a pix.... also what are u asking.... let me double check on the width as well.

 

[GorillaReefer]

Well since I'm not using it I'll let it go for $50.00, It has dividers already and section for a refugium if needed. I'll take some pics and post them in a bit.
