Awesome Swop

Hey guys

My GF got this awesome swop.

Friends of theirs are moving and wanted to get rid of a tank. The had goldfish in the tank and wanted something smaller.
So i gave our spare 2ft and little 1ft tank for them and the gave us a 4ft.

I will prob sell my 3ft and use that money to build a stand for the 4ft and make that a big planted tank instead of the 3ft im running now...

Soo excited!!!

Here is a pic. Will clean the tank down and take better pics the weekend.

Tank size: 1200x450x450
Canopy with lights in...

 

Awesome Dude! Enjoy...

 

What a steal. Lots of bargains around these days hey? :blink1: Enjoy

 

Yeah i must say there is some steels out there... Sooo nice

 

How thick is the glass on that tank? I see it has braces.

 

To be honest guys... i haven't even seen it yet.:cry: Standing in GF's garage. will go and spec it properly tonight...
My estimate guess is 10mm

 

should be 5 or 6 mm glass. Doesn't look like 10mm

 

If it's a "standard" 4ft it will be 6mm glass. Quite surprised it has braces.

 

Hmmm oke i will do proper spec tonight and give update tomo. Yeah was happy with the bracing

 

whoa thats a lekker deal @WillemNicolaas!

tank looks to be in good shape too!

 

From the pic it does still look good...
will give an update when i see tank

 

Sweeet dude this was a great deal you got.

Enjoy and keep the pics coming when you start on it.

 

Will do man... pics will be rolling in soon

 

Im busy getting prices on square tubing for the tank.
The guys with the DIY skills, will 25*25 tubing 1.6mm be fine or do i need to go with a 2mm thickness?

 

1,2m tank, go with 25*25 tubiing or greater.

 

Yep will be doing 25*25 but will 1.6mm thickness be fine or 2mm

 

When in doubt, upsize for peace of mind :bigsmile: Is there a vast difference in price?

 

i think 1,6mm will be ok, but i'd rather go with 2mm

 

agreed

 

@WillemNicolaas, that isn't by any chance Bret and Sam's tank that you scored?
