[DEXTER SOLIS]

thanks Gus, not going to fit

[James983]

3 FT 45 GAL HIGH. IF YOU LIKE.

[DEXTER SOLIS]

how tall is it?

[James983]

24" , you can have it for nothing. Let me know. I was my first reef, so it still has some coraline that needs cleaning.

[DEXTER SOLIS]

thanks, too tall. it has to fit under a standard stand

[Gerry & Judy]

I am interested in putting a refugium in my basement, and your tank would be perfect...

[James983]

GERRY & JUDY, ARE YOU REFERRING TO MY TANK?

[Gerry & Judy]

yes I would like the tank....where are you and when can I pick it up?

[DEXTER SOLIS]

hey Gerry, hope you give me a heads up if ever you come to a 30 gal tank.

Dex, just face it. You're gonna have to fork out some dough if you want the right sump. So, without further ado, here it is...

The unit is 30"W x 15 1/2" D x 15 1/2" H.
It has baffles, two bulkheads (Which are inlet 1 1/2", return 1") and even has probe holders.

Act now and I'll throw in a piece of a nice stag I got from a LIRA member a few weeks ago.
Price is $150. Sorry bud, I can't change it, it's not my sump and he won't budge on the price. The same unit goes for $300 to $400 new.

[DEXTER SOLIS]

how a bout I buy the frag for $50 & you throw in that sump?

[Reef Junkie]

Boy, you drive a hard bargain.
I have a better idea though.
How about you pay $150 for the sump and I give you the frag for free?;)

You could also build a sump to your exact dimensions. I had never worked with acrylic before and just bought the pieces I need and glued it up. It was actually pretty easy. I would not want to use it as a display tank since the glue squirted out of the seems a little, but as far as a sump and holding water it looks good.

If interested, I can give you the site of a place that can sell you the acrylic for a good price. Then all you need is the glue and some glue dispensers. It does take a little time since you have to glue and wait a lot, but if you have a week, you can do it, I didn't even practice on scrap first, just read a lot and did it.

I have a 30 gallon if it is of any use to you, It has one hole drilled in it near the top from an old overflow ( I have the overflow also ), but otherwise fine shape.

[Gerry & Judy]

Yes, I'm still interested in the tank. Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I just had a new grandchild born! Please e-mail me if the tank is still available at jgbriggs@optonline.net....Thanks
