Unfortunately, I clipped my brand new tank addng salt and caused a clam shell chip on the outside front rim.

Per Red Sea:
"This will not affect the integrity of the aquarium in regards to holding water. It will be a weakened area that may fail if it were struck in that general area again."

However, as this was my dream setup, I'm going to replace the tank.

If you're ok with a blemish, I'm asking $750 for the tank only, but will take best offer.

Local pickup only. Potomac MD.

I will include leftover rock (only used 50%), an almost complete eMarco cement kit, and the cut to size tubing frame.

Along with this tank, I am including:
1. U Channel that hides the chip and looks pretty good.
2. The tubing frame i used for aquascaping
3. Over 100#s of rock, including some very nice tonga pieces and a bucket of rubble.
4. An almost full (used maybe 1/20th of cement) eMarco cement kit. Super glue and accelerator.
5. The cardboard and table.

Reducing price to $600.

Tank is scheduled to be delivered between Dec 1st and 11th. I'm expecting to have this emptied and ready by the 13th of December at the latest.

Happy Thanksgiving! Through this weekend only, I am throwing in a junior Godspawn Bounce mushroom with the tank and extras! To summarize:

1. Red Sea Reefer 525xl tank only with small clamshell blemish (no issues with holding water per Red Sea)
2. U Channel that makes the tank blemish gone
3. Everything you need to make a beautiful aquascape (100# of rock, eMarco Cement, glue, rubble, tubing frame, cardboard, and table)
4. Easy coral (Rose Bubble Tip Anemone, Grandy Paly, Green Implosion Paly, Metallic Green Mushrooms)
5. Marco Algae (Calera Profilera) and highly sought after mini brittle stars and serpent stars
6. Super high-end Godspawn Bounce mushroom (through this weekend only)

All for $600

Bummer on the tank. If you decide you want to part with the rock separately, I might be interested. I have a 90 gallon to set up at some point.

What is your price for tank only? I am looking for a garage tank and this might work. It is a bit of hike for me.
