three tanks/fish/misc...any interest?

[sbsociety]

well, the 40 is acrylic so it would definitely not be a problem. i actually drove it from san jose to san diego and then back to OR...1300mi. The 29 is small enough that it wouldn't tip or anything. I am definitely moving to somewhere around the Sacramento or East Bay area its just a matter of time so I will definitely keep you informed

Thanks... by the way, have any pics? Would love to see all three actually.

that could be arranged

40g

This was about 9 months ago just after setting up the tank...but you can see the stand and such

 

[1979camaro]

90g

As you can see it is quite tall when set up. The "gentleman" standing next to the tank is my brother...he is about 6ft

Ohhhh, i like those rocks in the 29.

 

[1979camaro]

im not mailing rocks

 

[Cichlid-Man]

LOL I was thinking the same thing Orion.

Oh shnaps. I want that 40! I'm not too keen on the 90 tall. Tall tanks just seem a little less spacey for big fish. (except angels of course) Are you sure that's a 40? Looks a lot bigger. I'm guessing it's pretty skinny then am I correct? Looks like a 55. Anywho, I'm keepin an eye on this thread. If no takers by the time you get to Sac I may just take a roadtrip.

It is a 40g "breeder" so its actually fairly deep which makes for a nice display:

15in deep x 20in tall x 36in long

fully set up with stand + canopy = 16in deep x 43in tall x 38in long

Never would have seen the family resemblance

Ahhh, that's why it looks bigger, it's a 36"... thought it was 48" that's why it looked way bigger than a 40 lol. Oh yeah, by calculation it's showing as about a 47 gallon.

 

[1979camaro]

yah...i just double checked those measurements...its 17in tall not 20...that would account for the extra 7 gallons...but yes, its a good little tank

I'm surprised you're not keeping it as it's a fantastic size for a spare'experimental tank'

 

[1979camaro]

yah...it really would make a great tank for that sort of thing, i just don't know that i have time for maintaining another tank like that plus i'm not sure how big my new place is going to be so i don't know if will have room for it

I'm actually more interested in the 40gallon tank now that I have seen the pics. I'll keep in touch with you. Being in Portland at the same time that you're unloading a tank is just too much like fate. If anyone beats me to it though I understand. But I'd be willing to come over and pick it up (after I get a job of course).

 

[1979camaro]

hey delta...ive been out of town so i just got this...ive got a guy in CA who spoke to me about the 40 before you did but if he decides he isn't interested you are at the top of my list

 

[sbsociety]

Hey 1979, I'll probably hold off on that right now. Just spent a crapload of $$ setting up my first planted tank so I think I'll hold off on more tanks right now. Time to swoosh in NoDelta!

 

[ourFISHtank]

how much are you asking for the 90g anyway? just curious.. me and hubby are looking for another tank. we have a 55g but have got a lot of fish that will eventually get huge. aka 2 oscars and 1 jack dempsy. being as your 90g is so skinny would that be OK for big fish to turn around in? hmm..

 

[1979camaro]

my dad kept an oscar and some tinfoil barbs in it without a problem...i don't really have a set price in my head that i am trying to get for this stuff...its more of a make me an offer type situation
