WTB large tank for sump.

meschaefer · 08-06-2007, 03:08 PM

I am looking for a large tank to make into a sump for my 225g. Nothing smaller than a 75 gallon standard, must be 4 foot long and it must be CHEAP AS HELL. I don't care about scratches and belmishes etc. etc.

Wile I am particulary looking for a used glass tank....I am open to other things if you think it would work particulary well a sump, and wich is CHEAP AS HELL.

I have a 120gal Eurobraced tank with low iron glass on 3 sides

Only problem is I have a small crack on the lower right hand side of the tank

Glob it with silicon and live on the edge

Free BTW

I like the price...but I am concerned about the "Crack". Is this your old display tank? Reef ready? Standard size?

I have a 75 gallon standard glass tank with a 1 1/2" bulkhead in the back. If you want it $30. Pick up in brooklyn.
I also have a 110 gallon acrylic for $100 -72x18x18

Depends on how it's broken and since you do not care about the look, glue a pcs of glass over it and that's it. A lot of the lfs use this method to fix cracks of large tanks.

BTW If you are quick I have 55s FREE for you or if you have whatever LS and whenever to trade.

Rich, I'll take the 120. I talked to some people and they told me exactly what Wingo said, that the tank is easily patched, especially if your not concerned with looks.

you got pm

Matt, Rich's tank is a easy repair. make sure you clean the area up well and remove every bit of silicone from the corners without loosen up the small cracked piece, patch it over with a 9"x9" 3/8" glass.

Get GE 1200 series construction silicone from your glazer, thats what miracles uses to built their tanks.

Unfortunatly my personal "glazer" is umm....on leave of absence right now. Really, does leave me in a pickle, especially with all the "glazing" that is going undone. How I hate that.

Any other ideas where I might pick some up.
