Wryknow Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Due to the over-whelming success of the sale of my live stock I am prepared to sell my tank as early as this weekend. It is a 6 year old 215 gallon Oceanic reef ready with facory 30" oak stand and canopy. Stain is a medium oak stain. This is a very solid and HEAVY aquarium made by one of the highest quality manufacturers. It retailed for over $3000 when I bought it, I'm sure I don't even want to know what they would charge for it now. Measurements are 72" long, 24" wide, and 29" tall. It is made of standard glass and does have a center brace. Glass is scratch free except for a small scratch on the left side panel where some live rock fell over on it years ago. I am including 4 x 3" ICECAP variable speed fans that I attached to the canopy for air circulation. I live in Jollyville if you'd like to come by and take a look at it. Yours for $950. Buyer must pick up and move the aquarium. It is VERY HEAVY and is going to take a crew of at least 4 strong men to move. (It took 5 and a furniture dolly to get it in the house and up on the stand when I bought it. Perhaps someone who knew what they were doing and had the right equipment could do it with less, but don't say I didn't warn you.) I am willing to help lift and carry but the buyer will assume all risks for moving it. It is currently filled with water and some sand but I will drain and empty it prior to the big day.

Wippit Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks for the PM. Wow, that is HUGE! It's probably deeper than I was thinking since my arms aren't 29" long Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doktorstick Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ben, you could always do a 10-inch sand bed! Or maybe 6-inch with a 4-inch plenum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryknow Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well, a good pair of tongs can do wonders but I understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wippit Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm still looking and lusting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryknow Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thought I would post a couple of pictures of the aquarium. It is mostly empty except for water, sand, and a couple of fish so there's not too much to see at this poin. I did add a beer can for a size reference on the 2nd photo.

Gonzobob Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Only in Texas would the standard scale reference be a beer can. Gotta love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffT Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Jollyville --> pretty much behind River City give or take. It's a great tank to witness in person! I looked at and then went home to look over my small 65g......it's not even setup yet and I feel the urge to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryknow Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Lol - what Jeff said. I'm about 1 mile from RCA, real close to Hunter's Chase and Ponds Springs intersection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wippit Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just to be sure: Wryknow and I haven't come to any agreements, so there's no "lock" on this system. First come, first serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wryknow Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Well, I've still got this so I'm dropping the price to $600. PM me or call me on my cell if you have questions. Regards, Jason 512-585-1959 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Sorry to budge in....that's a great price for a 215g reef ready tank. I remember 5yrs. we found ours with one or two exceptions.....brick style (no middle brace and 3/4" thickness all around, reef ready from Oceanic....that was our gem. I'm surprise it hasn't sold yet. Good Luck on the sale, -Cindy- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryknow Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 The tank has been sold. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
