    72 gallon bow front Philly area

    Would you be willing to take $150 for the tank and light? I would be traveling up from Virginia Beach to get it, if I was closer I could offer more.

    Home Depot or Lowes both carry a full line of plumbing parts, all you need is a 1" to 3/4" reducer and probably a short piece of 1" pipe to install into your bulkhead fitting. That is if it is a slip (glue type) fitting, if it is threaded then you can get threaded reducers. If you carry your...

    New 55 gal and Stand

    Yes its a one piece design, the back of the stand bottom is closed in, and the top portion is open to allow sliding in the tank. Inside is a shelf for storage, I'm sure it would be easy to modify the bottom to hold a sump/fuge. The materials ran me around $300.00 to build it, but it is solid red...

    New 55 gal and Stand

    I did not put any side view pics up yet, but the sides have the same style windows as the front does. So you can view the tank from all three sides.
