by Snowboss4492

well i went and looked at my friends tank he's selling and i think i bought it

a clear for life 1/2 inch acrylic

200 gallon uni-quarium

20x24x96 in with three returnpumps totalling 2500 gallons per hour

i didn't take any pics because it's still all wrapped up in his basement, but i'll be picking it up by the end of the month {december} hopefully to get it framed into the new house - - -then you'll be sick of all the pics i'll be posting.....lol

Nice! Excellent tank size. Mind me asking how many bones are changing hands for this tank?

What are your plans for that baby?

he paid 2400 for the tak plus shipping, it came with a small crck in the top, so they sent a repair kit, he denied it and said he wanted his money back and in the interum of waiting for an answer ended up buying a 300 gallon setup - - -so for some reason, they sent a set of 3 new pumps then the new 300 and gave him full credit on the 200 ...............

about 2 months later he called and said hey im not paying to ship this "damaged" tank back to you - - - -so a couple days later they called and told him to just destroy the tank and throw it in a dumpster ....Devon was like ...."Um ..........ok"

so it'sbeen in his basement since then


i got it and the three unopened 2500GPH return pumps for 1300

i just got an email with a quote on the same tank with the 3 pumps delivered to my door ...........................................4895.63


AND ......devon said i could take the tank when ever i want it and just pay him when i have some extra cash here and there {i don't like being in debt to people but it's sure gonna help upfront right now with things as tight as they are}

fish people are good people



Im so stoked

plans plans plans, oh man


right now i'd trying to figure out how i could do like a 3 foot reef with a 2-3 foot open area for open swimmers and then just live rock at the other end - - so i can consentrate heavy lighting in one area and mild lighting at the other end - - it'll be a FO/FOWLR/REEF......lol


ive thought about a halide pendant on a powered track that would travel from one end to the other and back in a 8 hour cycle

build my own live rock structures ?

SCWD? - -SCD? - - -undersand return jets?

i would like some showling [sp] fish - - i don't want big fish

i will have a tank room in the basement with a 55 gallon fuge - - {ill need some help there shigara}

omg my brain hurts.....lol

im sure ill have 300 more ideas by monday but im always open to suggestions

all cash .. i have 2 credit cards for my company that i havnt used in over a year and am paying off to cut up and myself and my wife dont have any - - its hard sometimes because this world runs on credit cards but we use our bank check cards like credit cards - -but if we dont have it we dont spend it - - - anymore - -we are in debt from our pasts but we are slowly eliminating all that


im building a 250,000 dollar house with 90,000 dollars - -because we waited and collected things and we are doing 90% of the work - - - sad thing when my rent is 300 bucks a month more than my mortgage payment
