Rev's 37g Oceanic Sps!!

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Well here goes my 37g Oceanic thread!

I went and picked up the tank today. I found the tank on craigslist and was shocked to find such a good deal. The add said nice 37g oceanic tank and stand $250. Well I shot them an email saying I will take it for $200 and they said come get it. I was very happy cause I have been looking for this tank. I was told that the tank was purchased for $589 and that it was used for 3 months.

I went and got the tank today and the back was painted blue, but the tank and stand were in MINT condition.

The tank is going to be a mixed tank, but set up for sps. Tomorrow at our local reef club meeting we are drilling the back. I am doing a 1 1/2" drain to a 10g sump which I will be building tomorrow. The return will be a mag 7 split off to two 3/4" returns and lock line.

The skimmer I will be using is a Aqua C Urchin in sump and for flow in the tank I will have the 2 returns and a tunze nano 6025.

Pics coming.

Well good and bad news. Good news is the the paint looked great and dried good.

Bad news is we busted the tank drilling it today at the meeting. :(

Dont know what happened, but after the hole was drilled it cracked from top to bottom.

Now my tank is a 18g rubbermaid! LOL!

I am going to see what a glass company in my area says about cutting me a piece.

Bummer...

[JGoslee]

Sorry to hear that Rev. Hopefully you can get another piece of glass cut for the tank.

Ya me too. I am bummed out a little right now, but hopefully all will be well. There are worst things that can happen for sure.
