Dimensions: 86.5x24x24
Stand: Yes, 2x4 frame and all necessary screws and bolts. I reinforced the stand because it wasn't as strong as I wanted, and it has been standing ever since with no wobble at all. I have more 2x4 if you want to work on the other end, as well as the plywood ledge and pink foam in the garage. (I actually forgot to put the foam under it when I set it up)
Canopy: No
Drilled: Yes, two holes in the bottom for a closed loop system. Bulkheads included.
Filter: Yes, Eheim 2250 - which has a new gasket
Sump: Also Yes. Your choice of either of the two I've got sitting around
Lights: Your choice from a few 48" T5 or CF fixtures I have
Background/sides/bottom: Clear
Top: Unusually large/wide openings for a tank this size. No lids, though.
Condition: Good
Included: 6 or 10 inch orbital buffer (if wanted - they're kind of useless, too high an RPM and not variable), 3M rubbing compound, PlastX finishing compound

Original ad from when I bought it: here. Note that there are no lids (weren't when I bought it either) but there is the sump and Eheim.

Details: It has the kind of scratching typical of acrylic where it's not noticeable when there is water in it, but it is when there's not. I was buffing it to make it a show tank, but I didn't get very far. I got the first pane sanded out but not buffed to a shine. Here's a before and after when I did that last year:

I also have a 125 in great shape for $200 and a 20g CO2 tank and SUMO regulator (heavy duty) that I'll sell together for $180 if anyone wants that.

NO SHIPPING. Even on the filters. I'm lazy and I don't have any packaging. NO DELIVERY. I have a 2 door car, so that just plain can't work. I am strong though, so loading will be easy. (Actually, the 220 is super light. I moved it myself. The 125 weighs twice as much.)
 
I was going to say I'll take the filter in a heartbeat.

Then I saw your declaration there at the end, lol
 
FX5 is actually already spoken for. I had pasted that bit in from an old ad and didn't think to remove it.
 
where are the holes? and any plumming as in over flow?
 
One in the right rear corner. The other is in this random spot about 2/3 of the way from the right and 6" from the front. You can see it if you blow up that second photo.

I didn't use an overflow because I wanted to keep a clean look, so I plumbed those two to an FX5 that provided some good lower level circulation. If I kept it, eventually I would've built a beananimal overflow setup for it. As it was, I never populated it enough to need more filtration than the three canisters I ran on it.

I have a ton of plumbing, all kinds of + and - size PVC adapters, joints, valves, tubing, etc. Any/all of which can be included, depending on your filtration plans.
 
ok that one hole is very random its some thing i need to think about
 
Yeah, I have no idea why it's there. I just put the intake there, flat on the bottom, surrounded it with a big rock pile, and hoped like hell the eartheaters wouldn't completely fill my filter with sand. Honestly I'd just patch over it if you don't feel like running a filter as a closed loop.
 
I wish my glass 220 was light enough to put on chairs haha. bump for ya!
