HI their and thanks for all the PM interest I have been receiving, I have tried to answer them as fast as I can.
So hears an update, First off a big Thanks to CHIROHORN for posting the pics for me! Thanks Bro!!!
I bought this tank 3 years ago, from a bass pro shop that was closing hear in Oklahoma, I think they
Had it custom built for their store around 10 years ago.
I used a forklift to remove it and had 2 of the window front glass removed , the forklift I had at that time
Had a scale on it , the tank empty weighs 1100 lbs. the top right corner was pulling away ,I repaired it and
Hasnt leaked at all , the inside had a lot of scratches from cleaning over the years and I spent a week buffing
And got it back to around 70% there are some deeper scratched that I didnt buff out completely, when its full of
Water I can read the house numbers of the house across the street, ( no their not 7 feet tall ) .
The filter system is the same type that they used years and has worked fine for me is a bottom filter using 2 PVC
Tubing in a grid pattern across the bottom , covered with around 500lb. of what looks like a glass lava rock, not the
Pores type , then a layer of river rock. The bottom of the tank has not been drilled.
Using a 1hp Hayward pump ( newer,bought 8 mo. Ago 2 speed )the water goes to a sand filter filled with lava rock (Pores) then
to a canister filter with charcoal And sheet filters , I do 100gal water changes 1 a week, and havent lost a fish yet.
But these are hardy fish.
The Bass eats like crazy, 4 to 5 bluegill 1/2lb each in one feeding, the first 2 to 3 are gone in minutes, the others are gone
By morning, I try to feed her 2 times a week. I have to feed the bass first then 3 to 4 dozen minnows after that for the walleye
And catfish. I used to have a lot more fish in the tank, but I just dont have the time these days, so I have it down two these 3.
The reason im selling is I could use the money and I really need the space.
Id like to get $2300 for it , if not I will go ahead and list on ebay , and yes it will start a $1 and no reserve, I have to go out of town
This weekend so I will not list it until say the 1st of August ,that should be plenty of time for anyone to think things over.
As for shipping , I used a forklift and a flatbed trailer, with no problems , a friend of mine get really good rates on shipping and if someone
Is really serious , ( not just wondering !) the tank could be put on 2 pallets , and the filters empted and put in side, double boxed.
I dont think you would want to pay for the rocks, be cheaper to buy local.
I dont work 9-5 , more like 24-7, but I could drive it to you , for a fee, , just a few ideas .
If you have any questions , shoot me a PM and ill send you my cell number and we can go from their.
Thanks
