I am interested in a 150-200 gallon tank/stand or a complete set-up. I live in central Illinois near the Indiana border, but would consider driving a reasonable distance.
The tanks aren't mine, but there are two advertised right now in the Tradin' Post newsletter, near Peoria. http://www.tradinpost.com
Go to "pet supplies" and have a peek.
I have a tank, it is a 180gal. I got it in Feb/Mar of this year. Been waiting a funds to come thru so it can set it up. But every time it turn around the insurance company starts playing games again. Any way I am starting to get discouraged. And all the excitment of setting up a new tank is turning quickly into STRESS!!! It is a 180gal Oceanic Reef Ready with stand. It is the original Oceanic, before AGA took over and started making crap. There are no chips that I have seen. and a few minor scratches from the Live Rock. nothing major or really noticable. I never had a chance to set this up, I can't really tell you anything else. A couple of guys from the Reef Club came by to help me with my 75 gal and checked out the 180, All of them said that the tank looked to be in good shape. If you are still interested I live in central Ill on the east side by St. Louis. you can email me at mandarin_watcher at yahoo.com
