Million dollar question: Price?
Oh, and how about updating your profile to show us which area you come from?

 

Any idea why the tank base cracked ?

 

Price please.......might no some one that would buy it.

 

Hi

I want R3000

The tank is in very good condition besides the base being cracked, to be honest I'm not sure why the base has cracked, Im assuming when I moved the rocks around 3 days ago, one of the rocks stumbled onto the bear glass.

I stay in Buccleuch sandton.

The tank can be repaired by TDS Aquariums for R690, i recieved this quote yesterday.Guys the tank alone costs over R3000 rand.This is a bargain

 

R3000,really??? , i built my tank for just R600, its a 5ft as well...dimensions, 1.5x30x50...6mm glass...stand cost me another R150...so, how come your tank is valued at R3000???

 

forum rules dont allow for critism of prices of stuff for sale...

 

okay...sorry, TroicalBoy...

 

No Problem JesseG

Just to inform there is a major price difference between 6mm and 10mm glass.The tank is 1.5x60x60 ,its euro braced and it has a corner overflow.If you want, please phone a reputable tank builder and provide the price he quoted you.

yes, there is a price difference between 6mm and 10mm glass plus glass price has went up recently by about 10%...

basically, the point of my earlier post where i criticised Tropicalboy's price, was to tell him that the second hand market for tanks is terrible and he probably won't get the price that he is looking for, as most people perfer the DIY way, i apologise for going about this the wrong way...

 

Going to have to agree with you on that one

 

If you do not want to pay it don't buy it, simple as that.

 

Just remember there is a difference between a cabinet + hood and a metal stand.

 

LOL!!!!! a 1.5m tank made with 6mm glass? I hope for your sake, this prediction doesn't come true...

I see a household beach very soon...

 

You make a very good point there Slagter.

The tank for sale is 10mm. JesseG's is 6mm. Jesse... I would decomission that tank tomorrow. As Slagter has said... 6mm glass over a 1.5m span... you might land up swimming through your lounge.

 

Or you could just fill the tank half way ... it could make a nice display JesseG ..
