    FS: 268/304 Gallon Envision Acrylics Tank

    268/304G custom Envision Acrylics Tank 90”X30”X26” with ¾” thick acrylic on all sides, bottom and top. Tank has external overflow box with four 2” Hayward bulkheads, five 1” and one 2” holes in the back of the tank all with Hayward bulkheads and five Oceans Motions 1” flexible nozzles with 3 being wyes, black back and eurobraced top with 3 openings.

    I like to measure my tank volume subtracting the ¾” acrylic, so using internal measurements the tank is 268G. If you like to use outer dimensions you can call your new tank a 304G

    For sale is the stand, tank and canopy together as my new tank came with a stand and I'm going to use that. This is all custom made of oak. If you look at the pictures of the back of the tank, you can see that the tank and stand is flush to the inside wall in the fishroom, so that means the stand and canopy surrounds were constructed to finish the front of the tank while the remaining stand and tank are inset into the wall about 4". Hope that makes sense and the last picture below shows that

    Tank, Stand and Canopy - $2,500.00 and I'm open to reasonable offers.

    This is how I used the tank:
    Center Back External Overflow with four 2” bulkheads
    1 - 2” bulkhead for closed loop
    2 – 1” bulkheads for closed loop return
    2 – 1” bulkheads for surges
    1 – 1” bulkhead for return flow







    There is crown molding on the top of the canopy that was not yet installed for this pic:






    I’ll try and salvage as much of the plumbing from the overflow boxes as I can and include that:



    Here's a picture that shows the described stand and tank inset into the wall:

    Here's some pics that show the components of the stand and canopy better. Each end of the stand and canopy have removable panels. The nice thing with this on the canopy is that you can easily remove lights out the sides using the light rail when you need to work on the tank or remove the fixtures.

    The front panel on the canopy flips up and the front panel on the stand is removable as well. The finished oak skin is also removable on the stand.

    With the tank being in the garage now, the crown moulding is removed from the canopy and is included as well as the side panels that frame in the stand against the wall are included.

    Sorry for missing your question.

    There are some fine scratches in the acrylic but that is the beauty of acrylic ... the can be easily buffed out. If you buy the tank, I'll throw in my brand new acylic buffing kit!
