8 foot tank in Chicago area

[DaveB]

I'm moving to a place with a ton of downstairs wall space so I can finally put in a tank larger than 72x18.

This means I'm not going to buy a place in the suburbs anytime soon so the giant basement fish room build is off for a few years, but at least I can still upgrade a lot.

Looking for a nice 8 footer. 96x24 will work but I'd prefer 96x30 or 36". Don't care how tall it is. Glass or acrylic is fine. There was a nice looking one with a cherry stand/canopy on CL last week but it had about 15 weid holes drilled in it. Someone else bought it anyway. But if anyone else knows where to find one, let me know. I'm interested in a nice stand/canopy too but if it's just the tank I can build my own.

Gee Dave you are going to town! Wish I had thought about fish tanks when we bought our house...

You should have jumped on that 500 I just bought. I was trying like mad to find someone else to buy it before I gave in. LOL

 

[DaveB]

No way to get it up here from down there. Plus there's no way that'd fit.

 

[DaveB]

Have a few potentials but bump anyway.

I was the one who actually bought that tank

I will look out for one for you though!
