FS: 165gal tall tank - $300

This is a custom glass tank I had built a few years ago. It is 72” long, 18” wide and 30” high with dual 1.5” corner overflows and a black back/overflows. The actual calculated volume is 168gal. This tank was $700 to have built and a similar size from Glasscages is $550 without the overflows. The only flaw I am aware of with the tank is a small scratch in the front caused by sand trapped under a magnetic cleaner.

I have it installed as an in-wall tank in our yoga/training studio at the moment, so it does not come with a finished stand or canopy. The stand it is sitting on is 30” tall and built from 4x4 and 4x6 redwood with stainless steel hardware. A little coaxing with a saws-all can remove it if desired.

The tank will come with all the drain plumbing. Durso’s, bulkheads, ball valves and some extra 1.5” PVC and flex PVC. For fun, I am throwing in all of my leftover sand which I believe is enough for a 2-3” sandbed (175+lbs?).

I will be cleaning the tank tomorrow, after which I will take and post pictures.

I will have a truck this weekend and can help move it for the round trip cost in diesel, provided you help load it.

I also have a 450gal acrylic tank (8ft long, 3ft wide, 2.5ft tall) in need of some scratch removal and polishing. I will sell it for $550 as is (sandpaper, novus kit and buffer included) or $700 if I have to do the work. Same deal applies to transportation – you help load and pay diesel.

I am presently draining the tank and planning to get the last of the sand out after my little one goes to sleep. I snapped a few pictures of the dirty tank though.

Front


Back

You can see the stand, ball valves and unions that stem off the bulkheads. The black spot on the back is where I hit a scratch in the paint the LFS put in it while loading with some new paint. You can't tell from the front.

Overflow


Everything is getting a good cleaning in a few hours.

New price - $250

I will entertain any reasonable offers on both this tank and the 450gal.

Can't beat this for the price. I would pick this up if I had the extra cash and space.
