More scores, this time a drilled 40B, $30

Hi everyone in 3Reef land.

Long story real short, I scored some freebies today!

I'm not going to list all- some real small, like a small acylic bowfront.


And this tank and simple stand, it's ~12in. front/back, 21in. high, 48in long. What is this? Gallons?


And he had some dead/uncleaned rock, and I really like this shelf!
(That's about a 2.5g bucket btw, not a 5 or 6g)


I'm wanting to incorporate this tank into my sump system for my 180 set up I'll be transferring and building soon.

 

Nice score! I believe the 4 ft long tank is a 55 gallon.

 

That's what I was thinking. This tank and a few other things like a 40b frag tank plumbed in together for the usmp system on my 180.

I'm all about CL, freebies, and DIY!

 

So, it is a 55g?

 

Looks like a 55 ... Be careful most 55's are tempered glass. The wont drill.

 

Me too. I just looked on Craigslist and saw that someone gave away their 125 gallon with stand and other freebies I wish I saw that earlier.

 

Wow, even the walls?

If I can't drill it, I may let gravity work, and in my basement put a higher up tank for a frag tank, then on to the 55 (without drilling), for my sump stuff.
If I used my current 50g Robbermaid Ruffneck as a frag tank (Bulkheads? who needs bulkheads, I might just epoxy in a PVC standpipd, that will flow off to my sump, and back to the DT- about 35g in it now, and added the 55 as a sump, say 30g, that would give me over 60g of non DT water in my system.

Sorry to ask, to then the 55's are 48x12x21inches?

 

congrats on the freebies Todd! Seems like things just keep moving your way to help you get that 180 up and running

 

Moving my way, or in the way!

My 125 to 180 transition will be tougher simply for the fact that the 180 is going in the same place as the 125.
I'll have to get everything ready-everything. Then everything will go to buckets and containers, then move this, set up that, replace everything- and try to keep the goal of not losing anything!

It will take all day, and will be tough.

 

Todd, that is 100% a 55 gallon as others suggested. And as mentioned, it is likely that ALL panels are tempered. I can tell you the 55 I just took down has all tempered sides. They place a sticker on the underside of the tank that says it and to not drill, but someone removed the one from that tank. You can verify 100% using polarized glasses and an LCD screen. Do a quick search and you will see what I mean.
