So I was told to see if anyone could use a tank I have my new one and it wasn't worth it for them to ship it back so I now have two tank thing is I only need 1. So this tank cost 1200 new I figure 600 is a good place to start its 30x30x18 3 sides starphire black glass back panel 2 returns both 1 inch and 3 holes drilled for overflow has an internal acrylic overflow. Runs silent and can handle a ton of flow through the tank.

Here's the kicker this tank has a seam that has an ugly bubble line on one side. It does hold water and doesn't leak it had water in it for a month before I drained it and moved it to get the new one ready. I asked the manufacturer and he said he was 100% sure it wouldn't leak but aesthetically it isn't very pleasing. To some it may not bother them for me I wasn't having it. The new one is perfect so someone going to get a very nice tank for a deal. I also have an extra set of schedule 80 bulkheads I can include because for some reason brs sent me the same order twice. This tank is brand new only held water for a month before I drained it and waited for the new tank to fill it.

I will include pictures of the tank and the bubble in the seam this is pick up only I live very close to Milwaukee and Madison Wisconsin.

My buddy was down there too. This tank truly is very nice well built I just wasn't happy with the seam. The company I worked with was very professional and said they wanted me happy . The bubble is an aesthetic thing and I just didn't like that. I was hoping a local would be interested very close by but they all have tanks and don't really want another one

Sounds like a great company. Who was it? I'm in the market for a new tank and would love to experience customer service like that.

My situation was unique because the tank is small and the cost of shipping was expensive but they are one of the best period

The overflow is an internal acrylic box I need to get a picture of that I guess it's hard to see in the other pic. Also if you compare this tank to any other three sides starphire tank it's actually pretty **** cheap. Just a predrilled reef ready tank that's a 70 and not a starphire tank is about 400$ new now add in three side starphire with a beans animal it's worth that easy but I did put Obo because I'm willing to except reasonable offers. It's a smaller tank yes I have a small place where I could setup a tank so this was perfect for me for others it may be better to use this as a grow out or another type of tank. The company that built this is basically one of the best in the business too but to each there own. You probably wouldn't buy a reef savvy either you pay for quality custom tanks. This is a steep discount from ordering one at this price
