Default Brand New 6' Tank FS (Maple Ridge, BC)

BRAND NEW 112-gallon aquarium (72”L x 20”D x 18”T) with four overflows ($300).
Front: http://www.reefcube.outhouseinthemea...F0283.JPG.html
Side: http://www.reefcube.outhouseinthemea...F0284.JPG.html
o The tank is drilled in four places (see pictures) for 2" bulkheads through the bottom plate of glass. The placement of the holes is as listed in this diagram:
Sump Base Dimensions and Drain Locations: http://www.reefcube.outhouseinthemea...sions.jpg.html
o Two holes are located on one side/end,
o The other two holes are placed towards the back.
o The holes for the drains were set up to allow versatile placement of overflows if the tank was used a U-style room divided (overflows on one end), traditionally against a back wall. Having four overflows also allows the returns to be fed from under the tank instead of behind. Overflows all accommodate 2” bulkheads for added flow (2 7/8" holes).
o The placement of the overflows also allows the tank to be internally divided if so desired. I have all the custom cut glass pieces to internally divide this tank into a sump (can be included no charge).
o The tank is made from ½” glass bottom. 3/8" sides.
o Euro-bracing along length.
o I made a custom stand for the aquarium out of clear Douglas fir 4” x 4” timber with a 1” plywood top. This could come with the tank at N/C for whoever takes the tanks if they are interested.
o Made by Sea Star Aquarium Systems (Victoria, BC).
o Paid $741 (have the receipt). It was plumbed but never been filled.
o I am moving from a house to an apartment. I custom ordered this tank for a large built-in setup shortly before I decided to move (good idea huh?).
This is a re-post of an item from here (I am attempting to make the value of this tank more apparent):
