FS: 55 Gallon glass tank and cinder-block stand ~$100 in OC, - Aquarium Advice

smooth · 04-22-2004, 07:44 AM

I have a 55 gallon glass tank (48"x16"x17").

I built the stand out of cinder-blocks, cut ply, 2x4s, and styrofoam.

It has a nice glass top. If you live within 15 miles of Irvine, I will work out delivery for you for no extra charge.

I'm hoping to get $100 but I'm flexable since I realize people might not care about my home built stand. The materials for it were a little over $40, though, a few months ago at Home Depot. I can take some pictures of it once people express interest--it's actually pretty nice looking in terms of stability and the materials I used.

I can sweeten the deal with a 48" single 30 watt fixture (remote ballast) with actenic (approx 3 month old bulb).

Please email me at mbraun (at) uci (dot) edu.

Thanks.

I just want to re-iterate that I will entertain all serious offers. If you think I'm asking too much or you aren't interested in my home built stand, let me know and we can work from there. I think I could knock 20-30 bucks off and just sell the cinders off at a garage sale.

man, if i lived a little closer, i'd totally take you up on that! i'm getting so antsy while i wait to save up for my tank. ya know, the SF Bay Area is a great place to visit this time of year

just playin'

well, if I don't sell it by June and you still want it, let me know.

I'll be driving up to Oregon and leaving my truck in Sacramento. But that's as far as I think I'm able to go. With some gas money, I would consider making a detour though and sight see over by the bay.

wow! i really was just kidding

thats probably around the time when i'll have all my other money-sucking obligations taken care of and starting tank shoppin'. so, if you haven't sold it yet, and do end up taking your trip, i have no problem at all kickin' down some gas $ for a quick detour on your part.
