It is with some regret that I will be selling my big tank that I never got around to finishing.
Thread here and pics here:
sample pic (from thread above):
(notice the ultra-clear glass; not as green as others, even if it's 3/4"!)
Pic from another thread:
What's included:
375g tank using low-iron glass (3/4") made by BioResearch
100g sump (regular glass 1/2") made by Mang Ramon
15g quarantine tank
Stand (designed by some rocket scientist over at reefcentral)
375g tank was P80,000
100g sump was about 6k
Stand was about 15k (uses 2x8s, and 2x4s, skinned with plywood to prevent any skewing whatsoever)
Various 2" unions and ball valves
PRICE: P50k (fixed. Please do not haggle as refusal may offend)
This is, as far as I know, one of the very few tanks that uses low-iron glass.
I have had this since December 2008. It was filled up just to test (no leaks!) but that was it.
RFS: Just no time for a project like this. 5 kids, triathlon training, business.
What buyer needs to provide: budget in another 5k or so for your movers, maybe more. I suggest at least 15 people, with glass lifters (try asking Bio-Research if they can do it for you). BUYER takes responsibility for getting this out of my house. If you cannot arrange pick up (and, yes, it's a biiiitch), please do not buy.
I am in no hurry to sell, as this has been here since forever anyway. But if you want a big tank, this is your chance.
If you are a verified and respected member here, payag ako gives. Kahit 5 months to pay (para 10k/month only). Other arrangements can be made -- I'm quite lenient, as long as I can trust you/buyer.
Please get in touch with me via email for viewing... I haven't logged in here for quite some time now. Earliest viewing will be Saturday next week (Nov 7, after I get back from a trip). But basically, what you see in the pics is it.
And for those who are curious about my hobby, I'm not really getting out of it. I just think that I will move into a permanent house in about two years (I'm just renting now), and since it can take more than a year for a tank to mature, hassle lang if after two years I have to dismantle it.
(When I do move to my permanent house, I'll probably make a tank this big or bigger, heheh).
Email only please, no PMs (since I might not be able to check).
