Looking for 75 Gallon set up

[anaelitz]

I posted this before, but a sick father in law pushed things back. Does anyone have a 75 gallon set up with stand and canopy? It has to be the oak wood, not the laminate or the oak colored pine. Let me know what you have and how much.

My wife was the same way, so I took her Aquarium Adventure and showed her the cherry stand and canopy that would match her cherry living room furniture. When she saw the price tag, she decided the tank I'd set up was fine after all. OTOH, there is real oak veneer plywood and solid oak trim that could resurface a stand and create a canopy if you have some woodworking tools.

"When she saw the price tag, she decided the tank I'd set up was fine after all."

My wife was the exact same way, and I was eventually able to put together a 75g with oak veneer w/o a hood. I just recently moved, and my setup is still at the old house while I try to figure out what to do. I am fairly motivated to sell rather than move the setup to the new house, so a reasonable price could probably be worked out if you're interested. The tank is not drilled, but I have a HOB drain to a 30g sump. Lighting is a 6x54w T5 fixture, which currently only has 4 bulbs working. Some other contents include ~110lbs LR, 80lbs LS (DSB), 2 powerheads, aquamedic turboflotor 1000 skimmer. I have minimal livestock currently, as I've been reducing the contents through a few acquaintances. I have 2 false percula clowns (2-in), 8 in. toadstool, 10-in. colt coral, and a number of green-tipped branching hammer coral frags (probably 25 heads on about 10 frags). Lots of snails and hermit crabs though nothing predatory. The tank has recently not gotten as much TLC, but I've still been monitoring things daily. If you're interested, let me know, and we can discuss details.

If anyone else is interested in the frags, let me know as well. I've been meaning to post a message here but just haven't had the time.
