WTT: deep blue 60 frag tank for 30 frag tank

[gar732]

Looking to trade my deep blue 60g rimless frag tank for a 30g rimless frag tank. It comes with the tank in great shape, no scratches, 2x4 stand, 20g sump, and plumbing. The tank is currently up and running. I’d be looking the same in return just smaller. This tank is in my basement and being as large as it is and with as much surface area it makes it difficult to heat and more evaporation then I’d like. I think the 24x24 footprint would serve me better. If you’re interested please let me know. Thanks.

Still looking, I will post if I find something so if anyone comes across this thread and is interested assume it’s still available until I say otherwise. Thanks

Gabe, for my frag tank top I used a window screen frame and the plastic sheeting for windows that shrinks up tight with some heat for drafty windows. Light gets through no problem and cuts way down on evaporation.
How did those sps do for you?

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try it. Everything was doing great until the wife plugged stuff into the same circuit as the tank and popped the breaker. She never realized and it wasn’t until I got home from work that I saw it. Temps dropped too much and I lost a bunch of peices including the red dragon and the pink lemonade. That’s pretty much what prompted the move to the new tank. Everything that made it through is recovering now. How’s the elegance doing?

Bummer, sorry to hear. Elegance is doing great, thanks again.

Glad it’s doing well. That elegance will grow into a beast before you know it. You almost can’t kill it.

Patrick had a great setup with good oxygen exchange while keeping everything sealed from too much evap. Really nice.
In a previous tank in a cold space I insulated two surfaces of the tank with no visual exposure with expanded polystyrene sheet material. Just cut to size and taped to tank. Glass is a very good at transferring heat unfortunately. Not sure if you have that option

I have this tank in perfect shape... you can keep your stand.... https://www.marinedepot.com/Innovat...aCP0dHIPfxEce0iFkLeFq_9TjIVYszygaAknUEALw_wcB

I also have a Red Sea max nano with stand

I appreciate the offer but I wanted something with an overflow so I could run a sump.

Bump, still looking.
