Nice to have a new face here in the crowd. :D
Welcome!

As far as a bigger tank I know of someone that is selling a 75g 48 x 16 x 24, but nothing bigger than that.
check out the bargain finder see what you can come up with.

I myself have a 30ish g custom sump that I didnt need that has never been used but that is not what you are looking for.

[andestang]

thanks, I search that stuff out. As for canadianman - I will be looking for a sump possibly in that g range - if I don't make one myself.

[Canadian Man]

Let me know if you want to come take a look at it sometime.
I would only be charging you for the cost of the glass which is what I paid for it.

It is 1/3 refugium and 2/3 sump.

I have a 120 gallon system.... hmmm.. I wasn't sure if I was going to sell it. But it's got a sump, oak stand, oak valance with an oak canopy designed for any retrofit kit (MH), two holes on each end for 4" fans. A little giant pump, corner overflow on left built with 1/2 inch glass ( I know, it's thick). I'm asking $700.

[andestang]

Thats about the size I'm looking for. Could you tell me the measurements of the tank and sump size etc, I'd be interested.
thanks :P

[Dez]

The tank size is 48 x 24 x 24. The sump is a wet/dry trickle filter about 25 galons. It is drilled for the little giant pump. I would post pictures but don't have a digital camera. I live in Edmonton, that's the only problem. But it's only 19.95 to rent from u-haul for a day :).

DEZ,
I have those pics at home of when i was at your place.
I can mail them when I get home if you would like. They are more general shots of the tank but it may be what you are looking for.
Anyway
Let me know.

[Dez]

That's a different tank Jonathan.... Thanks though. But I wouldn't mind pics of my 150 gallon. I don't have any. Thanks..
