I hate to do it, but I really don't have a reason to keep it anymore...If anyone is familiar with my posts, you know there is a pinhole leak somewhere at the bottom of the left window. I would think the best way to fix this would be to replace the entire front panel. Other than this, the tank has served me well; the stand is included, as well as a stand that is used with my old 180. The dimensions for the 700 are 8x4x3. The stand is 8'x4'x32", which puts the the height of the tank at around 70". The stand for the 180 is 4'x3'x32". The 700 and stand must go together; the stand for the 180 can be sold separately. I will let the 180 stand go for $100 obo. I will sell the 700 and stand for $500 obo. I will also do trade-I am looking for a pump for the pond (still), one that can turn 4500 gph at 15'. I would take an external or sub pump. I can be reached at nero6370@yahoo.com or on the site. Thanks folks, Tom

P.S. You can see where the leak showed itself on the outside of the tank; but that might not be exactly where the source is...I will take a pic of the 180 stand by itself and post asap so folks can get a better look at it...BTW I am in Brunswick, Ga

Come on now folks:D; it's a great deal and a good, easy diy repair project. If nothing else, the glass and materials will make another monster tank of different dimensions if the size of this one aren't feasible...:popcorn:
 
To bad, So far. GL with the sale. As you said a nice DIY project. One question maybe for those who don't know, is the wood easily removed or is it part of the structure.
 
Sorry I did'nt reply right away; The front panel is screwed in, just like the rest. The hardest part would be breaking the seals in the corners; I glued the panels with PL polyurethene exterior construction adhesive, screwed them together, and then used a 2 part epoxy to waterproof the whole thing. If I was going to do the repair myself, i would try to cut the joints with the thinnest jigsaw/reciprocating saw blade I could find. You would be done in 10 minutes.


P.S. the wife is giving me grief about this tank taking up space in the carport; she wants it dismantled or gone quick. So please give me some offers or I would have to take it apart myself and get rid of it. I would hate to do that; I would rather lose money and let someone take it for real cheap than destroy it...
