Need a tank!

dzones · 02/01/2012, 01:23 AM

Ok guys the time has come for me to put up a tank (yay). I just opened my second store in Jackson and have a nice bit of space in the front and a perfect area for a nice saltwater display tank.
Since I cannot have a tank at home anymore due to the tank placement/heat issues in the summer this works very well..muhaha.

Anyway looking for a 48-60" tank and will consider a 72" if the deal is right but HAS to be 150 gallon or under. Reef ready or drill-able glass a must..prefer reef ready though. Stand is not necessary but will consider it if I can easily cover over it to match the existing counters in the store.

Thanks in advance!

david did you check with kevin he has a awesome tank at a great price its bigger than 150 but for the price its great id take it if i had room.

Thanks for the reply but if you are referring to that 230 then I gotta pass. It is a good deal on that size but at 7' long it is too much. I have a newer triple 250w MH light setup I am planning to use but it is designed for a 5' tank. I can easily make it work on a 4-6' tank but nothing bigger or smaller I am afraid.
Thanks though!
