90g tank & stand
« on: September 16, 2014, 05:59:47 AM »
Working on a 3D background for a member here and after seeing his tank he dropped off it made me realize just how small and cramped my 55g mbuna tank really is. So I'd like to upgrade, and looking for a 90g both tank & stand. 75g would work too.

Hey Steve, I have had a 75g set up listed for a while but just edited the sale as a piece-by-piece offering just this morning.
I had the oak trim 75g with glass tops, solid wood cabinet stand, AC-110 filter, 400w heater, and a couple strip lights for $200 at first but will sell it for $150.

p.s. I can deliver it too...I have some work to do at Royal later this week for Matt and Sue.

I will let ya know asap Tony. I realized this morning the extra 6" depth might cause me issues where it currently is at so I am tryin to figure out another place to put it, or hopefully a way to fit it where the 55 currently is located.

Pertinent info regarding clearances: From the back of the AC-110 to the front of the stand is 24" with 1" space to the wall.
Without the AC-110 it's only 20" (if you went with a canister filter to save space).

I've actually got dual canisters currently on the 55g (one XP3 and one XP4) so I'd be swapping them over to the tank if I got the tank from you. Does the stand you have have doors on it? and if so could you do me a favor and measure how much clearance there is under the tank. Need to too if my canisters would fit under it.

Still tryin to figure a way to fit it where the 55 currently is sitting. The extra front to back width I realized means I'd have to move a surround sound speaker and picture on the wall (no biggie there) but I might also have to move one of my dual monitors on the computer which is swing arm mounted and that's the one thing that might mess me up a tad because there's no where else to mount it. So just tryin to do some figuring out first.

There is 27-28" space under the tank. The two doors open in the front and each opening is 20-3/4" tall.

Thanks let me do some measuring Tony and I'll see if my filters would fit in there.

Looks like that should fit and have room to spare as well Tony, I think I may be able to just squeeze it in without having to move the dual monitors too. I'll send ya a PM in a minute. Would email ya but I've been havin issues getting some replies lately with my Comcast email address for some reason.
