Upgrading!!!

[camaroracer214]

I am moving in less than a month and I had planned on tweaking my current setup to increase the size of both the sump and the skimmer. But, I came across an offer I absolutely couldn't refuse.

I know a guy who has a 180 gallon tank, starphire glass (3 sides), euro braced, with an eternal overflow, and drilled for closed loop that he is breaking down. Included is the stand, canopy, and a 70 gallon sump. It's a sweet tank and I am so lucky to have him giving me such a sweet deal on it. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow, but I just wanted to share ahead of time. Again, I know the guy and this tank was worth some major $$$ and looks great. The only downside is there is a slight chip, but this in no way affects the tank other than asthetically. He actually had it setup for a few months after the chip occurred and, I trust him completely.

Holy smokes... a 3-paned Starphire, braceless, external overflowed 180g. Now that is a fine f*!@ing piece of engineering 8O

Major jealousy over here pal, congrats and enjoy! :wink:

yeah, i moved the beast today. wow, it's super heavy. took 5 guys (one fresh off knee surgery) and three women (one of which is like 8 months pregnant). just kidding, but they were all present and did at least touch the tank while the guys were moving it.

now, off to get some equipment.

if any of you guys have, or know someone who has, some metal halide equipment (icecap or pfo or similar) or a decent skimmer for sell, hit me up.
