8' Tanks

by **etheonut** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:49 pm

I have two retail display/sale tanks for sale (they were originally in a Wal-Mart store iirc). These monsters are 8' long and divided into 4 sections. Each section is drilled in the back with a single hole. The last time they were used it was for salt-water. I got them from Cichlids and Salt in Springfield when he did some remodeling. I would be willing to deliver them for a fee as they would require me to borrow the family farm truck and it doesn't get great gas mileage.

I am accepting best offer or trade for them. I will probably put them on the KC list and Craigslist in a few days. I thought I would give you guys the first shot at them.

I had originally planned on building a rack for them, but after a couple years of them taking up space, I have changed my mind.

Any idea how many gallons they are? Is this just 2 really long tanks, or are they stacked? Not sure what I'd have to trade. PM me if you have a price. Denny

It is 2 really long tanks. They originally sat on a metal rack made for them, when they were used for saltwater the rack didn't survive.

Each of the 4 sections looks to be approximately 15 gallons and is roughly the size of a 15 gallon aquarium. One 8' tank is approximately 60 gallons on a conservative estimate.

Got a pic? Is it possible to remove the dividers?

by **etheonut** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 7:02 am

The dividers are in with just silicon. I would think that removing them would be no problem at all.

So they are basically 96L X 12H X 12W?

by **etheonut** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 8:03 am

"basically" - yes, though they aren't square

You have seen a picture of these before Corey. I will see if I can find the picture.

So far, Michael is the only one to have made an offer for these.

Give us a clue as to what you might be interested in trading for, or a price. Denny

by **etheonut** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 9:04 am

Now that would take all the fun out of it. Don't worry, you won't offend me with any offer that you might make.

I actually rejected Michael's first offer. I don't need a new/used arm and from what I understand his leg is considered damaged goods at this point.

Now I have to go down stairs and root around to see what Junk (I mean treasure) I can come up with. I already got rid of the golf clubs, so I'll have to dig deeper. Denny

After scouring the house, this is what I've got available to deal with,

1/6 hp pool pump
2 - Emperor 280 filters (NIB)
HOT Magnum (NIB)
Several (5-6) sets of baseball/football cards from early 90's (unopened box sets)
Fish from my fishroom (what can I say?)

I'm not offering everything, but is there enough variety that you'd be interested to "do" a deal? Denny

by **etheonut** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 10:55 am

I am waiting to hear back from Michael. I will send you a PM if he and I don't work something out Denny.

I forgot the AO stereo microscope. Not the prettiest, but I've already got another. Denny
