ckimble Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 For sale is a 265g (84x24x30) glass tank and stand. Single overflow drilled for 2x1.5" and 1x1" bulkheads, Euro-braced, and drilled for a closed loop. I picked this up from a MARSH member in Houston a couple of months ago. After cleaning it up we discovered some scratches in the glass. I have owned and seen worse, but as this is going to very visible in the house we want it to be perfect. I have decided to go with a new tank so this one has got to go. I have filled the tank with 6" of water and no leaks for 48 hours. I have not filled completely to test, but from the cleanup we did looks like it should be good. I have removed the skins and doors from the stand to refinish, but haven't got to that point yet so it will need to be refinished and/or reassembled. Asking $500 or best offer to make up for the money I spent on it. Here are the pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I would LOVE This...just saw and responded to your post on CL. I can't afford that much, but could offer a little more...maybe $300. I can give it all to you when I get my Christmas bonus. I know you don't know me, but I'm not a scammer LOL. I'm usually the one to get scammed unfortunately. PLEASE!!!!!

GKarshens Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Is it scratched on all sides or just one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckimble Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Is it scratched on all sides or just one? It has scratches on most of the panels, some worse than others. It is hard to get a picture of them, the best I can say is come take a look at it and decide for yourself. What the heck? I thought you guys were going to put that in the house. Plans have changed, we are actually going bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckimble Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 I just went out to look at the tank and try and get some pictures of the scratches and remembered there is also a small chip out of the top right corner. Pictures of the scratches and chip attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I changed my mind. Why would any one mess up an awesome peninsula by drilling the bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckimble Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Thanks for the interest everyone... Dee is the proud new owner. Anyone available this Saturday evening to help us move it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckimble Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 I changed my mind. Why would any one mess up an awesome peninsula by drilling the bag? Your right, it would be awesome as a peninsula without the holes on the back. I bought it used with the holes already drilled. However, I found I could get a replacement 84x30 glass panel for ~$150 so with a little work it could be "fixed". I am just not experienced enough to swap a piece of glass that big.

ckimble Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Given the multiple moves Dena and her family are going through they decided not to buy right now. So I am putting this back up for sale. I also have a 55g sump that I will include with the deal. I just ordered the new 280g so I would like to get this thing out of my garage and into a new home. Pictures of the sump... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
