FOR SALE 500 Gallon Acrylic Tank
I am selling a custom 500 gallon acrylic tank with lids and, filter with built in skimmer, pump, reverse osmosis, built in overflow, and all the plumbing. it would be a pickup only since shipping would be way too much. its in Algonquin IL an hour from chicago. This tank is worth way over $20,000. There is no stand though because it was built into the wall. I am selling it for $10,000 obo.

Not to be argumentative, but how do you figure it is "worth way over $20,000"?
You can buy 535 gallon acrylic tanks for about $3,000 online. Granted yours does come with some equipment...but $17,000 worth of equipment?

I was thinking, maybe he meant way over $2,000.
And he is asking $1,000 for it. I'd pay $1,000 if it wern't all scratched up or something.

guys it all depends on what you count as money into the tank...livestock?equiptment? electric, Time ect...
I can easily figure well over 50,000 probably closer to 100,000 into my 300 gallon tank over the last 7 years! Ouch that hurt to admit. Thank god the wife doesn't log on here! |

I admit I assumed that the tank is empty since there was no reference made to any livestock.
I may well be wrong though.

hehe I paid a mere $500 for my "used" (read that as bought and never setup) 300g acrylic, still shrink-wrapped, still on pallets, with the "acrylic peel coat" still on it.. I got a steal, and I know it.
$10,000 can buy you a new glass tank of that size with most of the equipment...

Well, since no-one else asked.
What exactly is included? Measurements? Acrylic thickness? Who made it? and if it's a grand I'm interested...

This tank is reef ready, it comes with about 2inches of crushed coral, 4 huge fake corals and some fake rock. the measurements are about 7'9"L X 3'6"H X 2'8"W i think, the acrylic is about 1-2inches thick i would have to double check both of those. yes it is well worth over $20,000!!!

If you're serious about selling something, you really ought to list everything that is included and details. Not take my word it's worth 20,000 dollars. |
