FS: Custom ~160g tank by Envision Acrylics

Hey folks.. We have a new baby coming soon and i'm forced to downsize and/or put reefing on hold for a bit.. i'd rather sell off my big tank and perhaps setup a smaller system.. here's the first post of my equipment..

The ~160g tank was custom built by James Steele from Envision Acrylics. It is made from 3/4" thick Spartech cell cast acrylic (true standard sizing; not metric sizing) with 3 clear side walls, 1 black wall (small end), and black bottom. The black overflow is built in with 2 openings for one 1" SCH80 (return) and one 1.5" SCH80 (drain) bulkheads. The top is 2.5" eurobraced, but with a 6" (off)-centered brace to fit 2 Lumenarc's. The center brace was b/c i don't 100% trust eurobracing, and it can be cut out if you like.

Tank and Sump w/LS: $600 (stand is free)

PM, post reply, or email me at spshuy@yahoo.com

thanks for looking
huy


The system was broken down during my recent move and these pics are from when i initially set it up.

Tank dimensions: 62" L x 24" H x 24.5" W





55g acrylic sump w/150 lb LS

Congrats on the baby!


You're tearing down that beautiful tank? That thing was a true work of art.

Congratulations on the future addition to your family, and the new house, Huy!

That is probably the best value for $600 I've ever seen on RC. It won't be around for long
