240 gallon build

BTW, if you've not decided on a tank yet, I'd give the Marine Land deep dimensions tanks a look. They have a 250g and a 300g and they have starphire. :)

Just a thought!

Brandon, I actually love those tanks especially with the starphire! So much you can do with that much depth and height. For some reason, ever since I started keeping tanks I have wanted an 8 footer and I am finally in a space that will work. Plus I got the sign off from the boss so I have to strike while I can ha! Maybe I can work on getting both?

Great tanks though, appreciate the thought!

 

[NeveSSL]

In that case, I wish they had a 425g 8ft tank. Haha!

Looks like I found myself a tank down in Chattanooga! Hoping to pick it up this weekend. Comes with a steel stand and looks like it's reinforced to the Nth degree. Anyone know where to get the suction grips so I can load that bad boy? Also, if anyone is bored this weekend, I may need some help unloading it. Pizza and beer to be provided ha!

The club has suction cups. We have a page dedicated to our equipment.
If I were here this weekend I'd definitely help but I'll be out of town.

Best of luck. I'm glad you found a tank at a good price. Gives you more money to spend on good equipment !!!!

Did you go see the tank?

Oh awesome, I will have to see what I can do to get a hold of those then! I unfortunately have only seen pics since its way down south. I put a deposit down and the guy said it was in good shape, no scratches and the silicone looked great. I figure if it's really terrible when I get there, I can always walk away.

Good point. What is he doing with the livestock?

He has it full of guppies and a few FW angels, but apparently has about 4-5 smaller tanks. Got tired of keeping up with this one. Bummer since I'll have to deal with possibly drilling or HOB overflow, but will cross that bridge later. I need to figure out stand/canopy and sump layout first ha!

I'm sure it's right in front of me, but where is the thread/contact info for club gear use?

I believe Kevan (toxic) has the cups currently. PM him to line up getting them.

Kevan has them. I was with him and Rick that day. Kevan took them when we were done.

Well you're a paid member you just haven't been knighted yet. Lol. You should have access soon.

 

[Volitans67]

Here's the tank I'm going to check out this weekend. Should I see if he will throw in the ducks??

 

[NeveSSL]

I wouldn't take it without the ducks, personally. :D

Brandon

 

[schooleyosis]

Lol! The ducks must be part of the package. Total deal breaker if without.

Quick update- Skimmer, ATO, Powerheads, Return Pump ordered! Suctions lift cups ready! 4 people trying to load tank tomorrow, ready!

Wish me luck, if the tank looks like he says it is, hopefully will have it back here tomorrow. If anyone near Hermitage is board tomorrow, I'm sure we can use a hand getting her off the truck.

In the meantime, I'm going to deal with the credit card fraud that popped up overnight. At least some in London had a good time at a kids hair salon haha!
