WTB or Possibly Trade for.....

[ReefNeck]

I'm looking for a 90G 48" RR tank & Stand. New or Used.

I can trade partial or full depending on your interests in what I have.

I have several Brand New desktop Computers complete & a very nice Toshiba Laptop with 15" screen also new available for trade. The laptop works perfectly but has a diagonal line running through the screen when on/ Looks like a crack but not visable when off. Still able to see everything on the screen.

I have a nice Athlon 64 3200+ PC with 512MB Ram, 100GB HDD, Dual Layer DVD/RW and other desktop systems too. All New!

Let's make a deal. Tell me what you have and what you want for it. Some cash available if only interested in partial trades.

Pending Deal on New RR 75G and Stand.

Am also considering a 75G since it will still give me more depth front to back which is what I need and I can still use my lights.

Had an offer on a 144G Custom Glass tank, Stand & Canopy. Was one heck of a deal for me. Tank was 1/2" glass. Have to pass on it as I am 99% sure it will go through the floor on my 22 year old mobile home. That would not be good for anyone. Nice tank though and if anyone is interested in one that large and heavy, PM me and I'll put you in touch with the person that has it.

Still looking.

I have a 210gal in my 20 year old manufactured home. (I know it's stell a mobile home.) I made the stand, the tank is 6' long the stand 11' long to spread the load out over more floor joist. I don't know if you can do it like that. steve

I know Steve,and his tank,and It looks great,and it is all glass. He doesn't have any support problems. I live in a stilt home,and I have a 225 gal. It doesn't take much to add a little extra support under the tank area. Ted

I know it doesn't take alot to add support underneath but I am partially disabled due to a major injury in November. Crawling under thouse is more than I can do and I can't afford to pay someone to do it on Workmans Comp.

I already have floor problems....I went through the floor in our master bathroom (One Foot) and can't fix it myself or afford to get it done. Hope to find a kind hearted soul one day that can help out and will work for beer or frags.

My Father in Law will be here in about 2 weeks and he is a master carpenter. If he feels up to it am going to try and get him to help us with the bathroom floor.

Back to the point though, I don't trust this floor much anyway and feel I am pushing it with the 55G and the 29G in the same room. Will have a much better stand on whatever I find to trade for that will spread the load out more.

Thanks

<<<< I would fix floor (if funds for materials were available), but need to find a babysitter that is capable and has the patience to deal with hyper 2 1/2 yr old :bounce2: :wildone: and 10 month old.

I know I won't find any volunteers. :lol:

Sorry hon.

You should be fine in your mobile. There are (2) steel I-beams running down each half of your house as well as beams that run perpendicular from them. They should give plenty of support for a bigger tank. If you haven't looked under your house, you should check it out. Then you'll see where you could set it.

The only place I would be concerned would be right in the middle of your floor away from the I-beams.

I've been under there before I got hurt. It's a single wide and the place the tank would go is against an outer wall, running lengthwise with the trailer. If I remember correctly, The beams you speak of are near the center and wooden beams support the sides. It is these wooden beams that concern me because that is what caused thew bathroom floor to weaken.

I could be completely wrong in my thinking as it's been quite awhile since I have been under there.

My mistake. I thought you had said you were in a double. The most important thing is to know what type of floor you have. Plywood or OSB.

I used to be in a single wide with an OSB floor, and the weight of my 50 corner made the floor start to sag. Had to cut that section out and replace it with 3/4" plywood!

The beams on that house were about 30" from the edge of the walls. So if you can get over top of that you'll be good.

They bolt the axles on these beams, so they are made to take some stress. Can you imagine your house folding up traveling down the highway?

Honestly? Yes, I can imagine that! :eek2: In my 44 years I never owned a trailer before I bought this one 4 years ago and it scares me.

Actually, The place I am now considering for my next tank is going to be right on top of one of those beams.

Beam this way ------And tank this way ||||| might hold up. Floors are definately plywood. But it's old and been wet many times from plumbing leaks I have had to fix. Blasted old grey plastic plumbing.

We'll see what I end up getting but I am way to scared of the 144G made out of 1/2" Glass plus Rock Plus water. :eek2:

I had a king size waterbed in mine and never had a problem. I think that as long as the weight is spread out over as much area as possible........ Hey! Maybe an inwall......... That would be cool in a mobile!!!

There was a lot of problems with that plumbing. Big class action suit.

Back on Topic, Still looking for a new 75-90G RR tank & stand.

I have a very nice and brand spanking new Compaq Persario desktop computer system still with full factory warranty to trade. Has Monitor, Keyboard & Mouse! The computer is easily worth alot more than wholesale cost for the tank I need.

I'll consider used if in excellent shape.

I still have a couple of feelers out there that have not been closed yet but want to make sure everyone sees this in case they are interested.
