I will be watching closely for when the sale goes through. Here is a free bump because I have seen your other tanks over the past year or two. I am interested in smaller livestock should that be available after sale. Wish I had room in my apartment.

I bought a 40 gal cube from Sean. Love my cube and Sean was very helpful with questions during setup. I saw this tank while picking mine up and it is truly a beautiful tank. The pics don't do it justice! I'd be interested in the frogspawn and the ricordeas is sale goes without the livestock. Good luck....

Hello,
I have the OM 8 way and OM 4 way hooked up to individual Sequence Darts. This dual closed loop system, plus the sump, are all located in the stand with room to spare. It is well organized and layed out. I'll post some pics later tonight for all to see.
The build of this tank and stand was 'Thread of the Month' a few years back and it received quite a bit of praise and has been copied many many times here on RC.
The overflow box is internal, located in the middle back.
I'm using a 40 gallon breeder as the sump, but I have a 60 gallon breeder that can go with the tank if desired, but it needs to be resealed along one bottom edge.
Price for the tank/stand/and the OM 4 way only would be $1900.
Thanks for the interest.

I'm very happy that you like the little cube. I'm really regretting selling that little set up now that I have to sell this tank.
A sick family member needs the funds, hence the sale of this large set up. I'm being somewhat selfish though and will keep a few precious fish and anemones and set up a small cube tank just to stick with the hobby.

Found these saved on my photobucket account. These were taken during the tank's initial set up. It shows the closed loop layout and sump area.

Agreed, great tank, but please keep in mind that this is not a discussion forum. Keep your responses related to buying. Thanks.

I saw this tank in person when I lived in KC and it was a awesome setup. Top of the line and exceptional craftmanship.
