Looking for a 6' 150 or 180 gallon aquarium - FOUND / Bought ! Yea...

I am looking to expand my operation and would like to get a 6' 150 or 180 gallon tank.  If you have or know of someone who is looking to downsize or up size, please contact me. 

I just bought a 180 gallon tank from a guy in New Baltimore,  entire setup: tank, stand, canopy, fx5, two coral life T5 HO lights, gravel, holey rock, 3 very nice pcs of drift wood, 75' python siphon, other misc rock, food, chemicals and even fish (2 nice synodontis petricola cats , 1 nice pleco (not sure what type), several Peacocks, a big Front and several Mbuna).

Here is a pic my daughter took while buying the tank:

Well for starters, I am moving my entire operation downstairs from my den,  which entails (2) 55 gallons tanks.  The family doesn't like the fish smell anymore and has been hounding me to move them in the basement. (idea - start a fish room ! !) well I will be setting up the tanks along a wall of the basement, I first need to install a laundry tub down there as I do not have access to any hot water in the basement. I plan on using the (2) 55's as grow out tanks for juvies and sub adults then move the adults into the 180 tank. I now have some flexibility. There are some fish that I have been wanting to get and I even contacted several people who listed them in the MCA but since I did not have any room I could not pull the trigger, now I can get those fish...

I blame all of this on the bonfire,  after checking out Jim's 180 (beautiful tank BTW), I got the itch to get a bigger tank.  Well patience worked, I was able to find and get this complete set up at a very good price and best of all the guy lives less than 15 minutes from my house...

This is the slowest week of my life !  I've got 180 gallon tank of the brain - Saturday cannot come too quickly !

I just changed substrate in one of my tanks in my office from black gravel to puka shell. Its so nice. Check that out. Would look great in the 180. Also buffers the PH and hosts the beneficial bacteria like a sponge filter. supposed to be cleaner after it establishes.
