I am SO stoked I just have to share my news with everybody!

I have been researching like crazy, reading all I can and SLOWLY planning for a 120-gallon reef tank.

I found such an incredible deal.

This weekend, I am picking up a reef ready 120-Gallon tank (48"x 24" x 24") made of low-iron (Starphire) glass, metal stand, glass tops, 60-gallon sump and ATO reservoir for $175. :thumbsup:

Woohoo! :lol2:

Wow! That sounds like a sweet deal :)

[bnumair]

[Typo R]

Good find.

[MBIETZ]

Wow thats a sweet deal sounds like an awesome tank.

[BigCountry74]

+1 GREAT deal man. Ditch the metal stand and maybe build something out of wood to hide the sump though. Unless your going thru the wall or something.

Or here is a fun DIY challenge - wrap the metal in nice wood panels? The front one removable? Never seen than done before....:D

Just make sure to fill it up with regular water first to check for leaks.

nice deal, pics when you get it!!

Will DEFINITELY leak test and post pics once I get my hands on it. :D

[Humuhumunuku]

Wow nice find! Ditch the glass covers though. These limit light penetration, retain heat, and limit gas exchange.

Sweet find! I'll be living vicariously through other RC members until I actually have livestock. LOL.

[Doc_Polit]

Well........I finally got this badboy into my garage. Sorry, no pics yet.

1/2" Starphire all the way around = HEAVY. :worried2:

Already planning a few changes:

Remove existing standpipe and return. Will substitute a Herbie system instead and return over the top.

Remove top trim and existing euro-brace in order to remove 12" wide centre brace.

Add custom bracing that will not interfere with lighting.

Gotta love a project. :thumbsup:
