150 gal?

[12 Volt Man]

definitely get the dimensions. there are a whole lot of 125's around that are being listed as 150's. Also, don't underestimate the metal stand if its a good one.

all the LFS's in my area carry metal stands made by a local manufacturer that are much stronger than the normal wooden ones from Perfecto etc. I have them on all my tanks, all are designed for two tanks, and they can handle huge weights. I have one with a 90 on top and a 65 on the bottom for the last 15 years.

but they are not those 'iron angle' ones.

they are like this:

even if its a 125 I will still go pick it up.

I dont like metal stands. I just put a 30 gallon on one last night and filled it up. Just touching the tank makes the stand wobble.

I guess it depends on how the stand was made and how level the floor is. My tanks are solid and dont wobble, thats why I keep sticking with them.

my next big tank will have a metal stand too.

it is true that they do not look as nice as wooden ones.

let us know what she says the dimesions are and good luck with the purchase!

Picking up today after 4. Might just get the stand and filters off her when I get the tank. Its definitely going to have to go into the basement. Floors in this house would be kinda scary to have that much weight sitting on them.

Put pics up when you get the tank. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I just got back from picking the tank up. Something came up yesterday and couldnt go get it. I got everything with it. Very nice tank. Stand seems sturdy too. I got a tetratec 500 and a 300 with the tank. Never used them before. Are they decent filters?

Here are pictures of the tank in the basement. Sorry it took so long. Just got a good camera today.
