Reposting this one... I had lots of interest but never got anyone to actually come out. Part of that was my own laziness and me being gone every weekend. I don't see myself leaving town for a while now, though, so this is available to show and/or move any time.

If you only want the tank, I have several people who'll take just the sump, so we needn't worry about that.

My giant heavy Glasscages tank is just acting as a table right now because I'm never at that house and won't ever get a chance to set it up. Better to let someone here set it up.

It's 800 pounds and has sustained a bit of glass damage, but I was assured by Tom at Glasscages that it will be fine. Luckily, the bottom pane of glass is redundant, and the top one can be braced with just a bit of silicone.

Full details, photos, and the whole moving adventure is in this thread:

I still haven't returned the expensive glass suction cups, so they're around to help you load it. You'll also want to pick up an appliance dolly at home depot. It's right around the corner and will cost you 12 bucks to rent it. That plus strong people makes it an easy load.

$400 or reasonable offer. The tank is 1 mile east of the Kimball (Belmont) exit from 90/94.
 
Killer deal!
 
No scratches - the viewing window is in great shape. 30" front to back. Before you fill it you'll need to plumb it, as I don't have the bulkheads or PVC or anything. Just the glass tank and glass sump. I'd probably add a black background and purchase those black overflow box covers from glasscages too just to make it look nicer.
 
man i buy it if it wasnt 800lbs..... would be perfect for my gar. good luck with the sale awesome deal!
 
It's kind of absurd how overbuilt it is with the extra glass. Which is good, because it'd be worthless otherwise due to the damage. (Then again, it wouldn't have ever had that happen if it wasn't so damn heavy in the first place...)
 
You still have my wheels turning.... This thing would be worth it for the pieces of glass alone. I might eventually have to do you the favor and come get it.
