I've sold and traded a bunch of things, consolidating what I have left in this post. :D

(1) SeaClear 90G Acrylic Aquarium

-- 4 feet long, 18 inches wide, 2 feet tall
-- Black background
-- Black acrylic overflow tower on left back corner
-- Two 15 x 7 openings on top, otherwise the top is completely covered in acrylic bracing: it's massively over-braced by the manufacturer, for the size, and can support a big canopy or heavy light fixture easily.
-- Right back corner braced with interior and exterior 1/4" acrylic and non-toxic, water-proof marine epoxy
-- No bottom bulkhead holes, those were plugged with 1/4" acrylic and marine epoxy: can be re-drilled very easily!
-- Clear front panel is clean and free of scratches
-- This would be a great breeding tank, massive DIY sump, or even a nice display tank, with a little work to build it a canopy and stand
-- HOLDS WATER. I have had it holding water for over a month in my living room. Absolutely no leaks!!!
-- Retails for over $650 new
-- I can't keep it in my apartment any more, landlady is restricting me to small tanks, $200 OBO

(2) Bio-Fil Wet/Dry Sump, rated for tanks up to 125 gallons

-- Includes drip plate, 1" bulk head, egg crate bottom plate, etc.
-- Fully cycled bio-balls available
-- Fully cycled sponge for divider area available
-- Corner refurbished with 1/4" acrylic and marine epoxy
-- Refurbishing thread: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253284
-- Retails for over $200
-- Since I can't keep the 90G tank, haven't any use for this sump: $60

If someone wants to get both, I will give a great deal, like the sump for free when getting the tank. These would cost pushing $1000 new, you could get both for approx. 80% less than retail price! I just need to move them out of my apartment.

Note: The epoxy can be taken off if you don't like it. It sands away by hand or using a small power tool, like a Dremel. My patches are water-tight and strong, but they are not permanent, if you want to replace them!

Pick-up in Hollywood. Shipping if anyone wants or needs it. Payment by cash or Google Checkout (PM me for the Google link).

Hey guys,

Gotta find this tank a new home! My lease is restricting me to ~40G tanks (monster fish keeper card revoked! LOL) and I really want this out of my apartment.

I think $200 on the tank is an okay asking price. But on the other hand, the economy sucks, people don't want to spend a lot, the tank is used, and it does have a corner brace that cosmetically is not going to win the Miss America pageant.

To buy these two items new, they would cost (together) over $900, pushing $1000, depending on sales tax, shipping, etc.

Call it $950.

I figure that 15 percent of retail is a really good used price.

15 percent of $950 is $140.

$140 takes them both!

Hey, for $140, even if the tank had a fist-sized hole in the side and every seam leaked, it would still be a good idea!

I'd even give it away, but I would like to get at least a little cash to get a small tank to replace this one.

PM me when you want it: I'll drain it and take it downstairs to my building's lobby, all you'd need to do is come pick it up with a vehicle large enough. The tank fits in the back seat of my sedan, so it should fit most large sedans or trucks.
 
BUMP :)

Questions asked:

The front panel is clean and clear of scratches.

The picture of the corner brace is a little blurry because the tank is full of water!!!

Trades are possible, sure! Throw some ideas out there.

The box sitting on the left corner of the tank is a DIY filter I made from a spare powerhead and Sterlite boxes. It's just right for cycling the tank. Welcome to have it, if you get the tank and sump.
 
Another idea:

If anyone wants to do an even trade for smaller tanks, I'd look at trading for approx. equal total gallons.

Like 3 x 30 gallons for the 90 gallon, or a 30 and a couple of 20s and 10s, or two 40 gallon tanks . . . as long as the total gallons are approximately equal.

Part of the trade could be for pumps or 300W heaters, too.

And I'm not too picky about minor scratches, as long as the glass or acrylic is clean and the tanks hold water.
 
BUMP :D

Must move this tank! Must go! If nobody takes it, it will end up in the dumpster! Not kidding!

LOL

Anybody want a big tank to make a big sump? Grow-out tank? Just want it for the acrylic? Any even moderately decent offer takes it. I am inches away from getting out the buzz saw and putting this in pieces in the dumpster. Lease doesn't allow it, can't argue with the lease. It sucks, and I'd rather find someone who can use this tank for something, but . . . .

PM me for the address and a time to come pick it up: West LA off the 101.
