Not bad looking.....trim's busted here and there...needs a little caulk too...but it's an old very thick Oceanic tank....sturdy and strong.....we're getting it for $150....reasonable, considering the condition and it does come with a good solid stand......
Excellent. Oceanic tanks are the best. You got a good deal. Now all you have to do is find a place to put it.
Sounds like a very good deal. Where are you going to put it?

Nice, Let me now if you need help moving it. You said you needed more tanks now you got a big tank! ;D

For now, it'll be put on the patio......I want to use a hose when cleaning it, plus the stand outside part will get painted.....easy to replace caulk out there too.....then later, it'll go down to the fishroom in the middle of the room between the 130 and the 55 racks opposite.....at least that's where I think it'll gp now....LOL
Scott, thanks.....I'll let you know....
i know where you can put it ,you can put it in my house lol

LOL...it's the same foot print as my 125/130......but taller....cool tank.... ;D
The only problem I have with my taller tank is I can't reach the bottom without a step ladder, then I get my pits all wet. other than that I like it.

Same here, Scott. I'm just 5' 3" When I did wipe downs on my old 65 gallon (also an Oceanic) I looked like I'd taken a bath with my clothes on when I was done. I like my short wide 60'. Just 17" high but 24" wide. Great for growout.
Well we got the beast here.....dang thing is very heavy.....very....
It's on the patio now where I can work on cleaning and re-caulking it good. We'll paint the stand too....well, maybe.....??...it's solid as a rock.... ;D......
I've considered leaving it there for the summer, and popping some angels in for grow out....or even a few bass/crappy/cats, etc....???
Looks awesome Jon! I could use a tank that size..... maybe 4 of them haha

Our #2 son Matt and Adam, the previous owner, are both strong young lads....it almost beat em down.....did bring em to a knee twice....I grabbed one end and was told to leave it alone, or I'd hurt myself......I put it down and I listened to them... ;D.....it's a monster...
kinda like the old 125 i have, no center brace and half inch thick glass. Heavy as hell. I would say twice as heavy as my new 125

Itsa beaut!
Nice!!! ;D ;D ;D
Nice, if i had to guess i would say it close to 300 pounds. It's going to look good once its cleaned up and has fish in it.
If you leave it out side with angels wouldn't you need a way to cool the water when it gets hot out?
I think it weighs in at 358......full 1850, without gravel, etc....
Yes, it could get pretty warm in there....I'll need a canopy to shield it overhead from the late morn'n/noon hotter sun times....
Would be so easy for you to just put that in my fish house. Could just roll it in. And you could come visit it every couple of years.
