It's an older model. Dual overflows. I bought it on consignment from Sho Tank like four years ago and never put water in it. 5' by ~20" by ~20". I have the glass tops as well.

I live in the west loop.

Whoever takes the above has to take the terrible 40 gallon all glass tank that I tried to turn into a ghetto sump. It's fits underneath nicely.

I have a few people with dibs, so this is gone for the time being. I will let you know if it opens up again.

So far , people have pulled out before coming. I wont be available till Tuesday next week after tomorrow. Is there any way you can come tomorrow ? Or tonight ?
I never figured it would be this hard to give away $50-60 worth of sand.......:confused:

Blackhawk007 04/14/2011 01:41 PM

I have 3 panes of star fire glass that are free to who ever can pick them up. These need to be cut down to make a good tank since the edges are all rough, but they are huge so they need to be cut either way. 2 panes are 24"X30" and the big pane is 96"X30". All panes are 1/2 thick. No scratches but again the 1" that was under the trim is rough.

BADGUS 04/14/2011 03:28 PM

I'll take the glass

Blackhawk007 04/14/2011 03:39 PM

The glass is accounted for, no longer available.

bigdaddystar 04/14/2011 03:41 PM

Cool deal........good man

GF3 04/14/2011 04:37 PM

ITeach2Wheels 04/22/2011 01:57 PM

Still trying to give away some of my leathers/softies and pallys too. I also have some blue clove polyps I can frag.

All free, if you want to share something you have that would be great, but definitely not necessary.

See pics in thread on main CMAS page

BigB778 04/22/2011 08:06 PM

This is the BEST thread I have ever read.. It truly captures the meaning of being a reef hobbyist... Wish i lived a little closer

RockOn681 04/22/2011 09:13 PM

Trade???
 
This is a give away thread. You must meet the 50 posts and 90 day membership to trade or sell. And not in this thread~dc

SkullV 04/22/2011 11:40 PM

This is really just a thread for people to give stuff away for free (in return for good reefing karma :beer:). Unfortunately you will not be able to post a selling or trading thread anywhere on reef central until you have been a member for 90 days and have accumulated at least 50 meaningful posts.

Not a big score, but i have 3 nice pieces of live rock available, probably 7-10lbs of rock. Free pick-up in the Algonquin area for anyone who needs it. One of the rocks has a small emerald crab on it as well, so bonus score. I couldn't get him off or else he'd be in my DT.

5-10lbs of sand available in Algonquin.... The sand is still sitting in the tank with a powerhead on. Pick-Up ASAP.

Sand is still available.... It's not a huge amount, but good if someone is local and close enough. It came from an established tank and would be great for a fuge.

BADGUS 05/25/2011 04:40 AM

Freebies:I have about 10 loose heads of neon green candy cane.If one person wants them all ok,if not i can do 2persons @ 5heads each.Pickup in elmwood park.

I have a 20L drilled with a bulk head. Located in Grayslake, not really wanting to travel but 5-10 miles isn't an issue.

Pretty sure it holds water, bought it from AdamJr (iirc his name right) but really have no use for it at the moment.

Forfend 05/25/2011 07:06 PM

Wow that was quick tank pending

BADGUS 05/25/2011 08:18 PM

I'll happily give some beautiful xenia. I payed alot for the inital frag, and they are a very beautiful white and pulse wonderfully if taken care of well. They are ugly and brown if not =) If you have been to Beyond the Reef, you have likely seen them in their DT up front. Have a new set working their way up onto a frag rock.

PM me, in Rockford. Pickup only.
