Well...this happened today off craigslist.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It appears to be made without a brace as some of the older tanks were.Years ago I had a 125 that was made with no crossbrace.Though a little smaller than your 150 I paid three hundred bucks for it so I'd definitely say you got a good deal.
 
I have a 180 gallon with me without any center brace. Its sitting outside in a field as it is cracked. Hail smashed the back panel. The glass is very thick and there's 2 panels on every side. If interested I'll get some pics

My 165g is 1/2 inch thick glass and it is double braced.

What are the dimensions? It looks to be 4 feet long, there's no way a 150 is that short and that deep it would have to be far too tall to make up for the volume

Ya it's an oldie haha. It's probably gonna get a diy brace on it but I really don't think it's going to need one haha. Thanks I wasn't passing on it even if I threw out my back and destroyed both shoulders dragging it out of a basement with a 2 ft wide stairwell haha

That's a good score - but, it's a scary tank - I would never have anything like that without a brace - even if it was built without one. I'd put one on. Why risk it, right?

Drawing up plans for a DIY brace haha. Honestly though....I'd swim in this thing with no worries. It's built like a brick ****house

So what's the stock going to be? I take it you're going to have at least one Esox in there :)
