need to give away a tank to people in the calgary area

[dave_C]

Hey all

I have a tank that needs to found a home, it is 48 inches x 20.75 inch x 29 inches two side starphire with some what polished edges(i'll explain this later:redface:) and a external overflow on one end

here are a couple of pic's

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad223/conceptaquariums/IMG_0120.jpg

not looking for anything in return other than it has to be picked up in calgary by this Saturaday

ok on the the part why it is free:biggrin: there is a flaw in the polishing on the starphire euro-brace, it is not much but it is there
http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad223/conceptaquariums/IMG_0123.jpg

so to make it fair to everyone and not just the early birds lol i will pick a number from 0 to 50 and the first person to guess it right can come pick it up. Please only one guess per person

thanks

p.s. please didn't PM me the number, just post it and i will check in once in a while to see who guess right first

[Myka]

I like the size. I would pay $250. :D You sure it isn't in Edmonton? If that's a mistake, and it is in Edmonton I come get!! :lol:

Hey parkinsn you sell? :lol:

[fencer]

You have a truck Ms M...I would pay that price too

[Myka]

You have a truck Ms M...I would pay that price too

Ya, but Calgary is in the middle of nowhere, and it would cost as much for fuel as the original asking price of the tank! :lol:

think fluval edge but alot bigger

[Myka]

Could you do this with a 48x20x24" with black silicone, external center back overflow, trimless, front pane Starphire? Just by chance you have something like that sitting around you know. ;)

[fencer]

Ms M
I am ordering just that size of tank in Edm....except the height is 15"

never know, i have been bored out of my mind lately! but didn't you say Calgary is in the middle of no where?lol if i do this you will have to post how much Calgary is better than any other city in Canada:wink: oh didn't forget how much nicer the guys are:lol:

[paddyob]

Just curious.... fantastic thing you are doing... giving away a tank...

...but are you serious, that because of the polishing you can't sell it and recoup "something". Especially on the Euro brace.

VERY NICE TANK! Wish I saw this post earlier. I totally would have picked the number 12!

Congrats!

Calgary just might look nicer. :D I did live in Calgary for 6 weeks in 2003. I even got to celebrate Harley Davidson's 100th Anniversary there. Sooooo many Harleys on 17th Ave!!! I did find the guys to be very friendly. :p

i may have been able too if i took more time with it, but knowing i had already built a new replacement tank for the customer i just didn't want it setting around anymore lol if you thought this was nuts, last week i was just going to take a sledgehammer to it but a couple of my customer convince me to give it away instead:redface:

lol no more tanks at this time:lol:, but if you guys like this game i could do something again like this next week. i could let say could give away a ecotech vortech MP40wes, would something like that interest anyone?:mrgreen:

[Chowder]

Can you open that up to us people on the coast. I have no problem paying for the shipping on a MP40wes?

Instead of giving it away why don't you do a raffle for a charity or relief aid for Japan.

[AquaticFinatic]

No one would be interested in an mp40 for free! :mrgreen:

[dave_C]

No one would be interested in an mp40 for free! :mrgreen:

ya you're right lol let me dig around and see what other open stuff i may need to get rid off:biggrin:

[abcha0s]

I pick 12 for the Ecotechs!

[FishyFishy!]

I PICK 412365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DiverDude]

69, Duuuuuuude !

NOTE: Bill and Ted say that 69 is still a valid guess even though it's over 50 because...well.....it's 69 ! :mrgreen:

ALBERTA Ride For Sight is a better charity IMO and it is local. Japan has enough money of there own.

[chris121277]

MP40!!!!


are you doing the number guess again? if so....Mine is 40 :biggrin:

[sharkbubbles]

how about 0?

[parkinsn]

Thanks again for the tank Dave. in a few months i will start the build thread so you can see what happened to it. :biggrin:

[claymax]

lucky!

[mike31154]

Ok number posting fans, remember this thread? Might be a good time to give it a kick start. Nothing to win, but will feed the habit. You need a picture though.

Ok Dave, would you close this one please, or you will have to give away more tanks.

[ice]

Hello

Wanting to start a system and would love this tank. I am from red deer.
My number guess is 44. Thanks.
Hope its me :)

[FishyFishy!]

Lol!!!! Did you see the date on this thread? Tank was given away a LONG time ago.

[H22_TURBO]

24!!!!



this is an old thread lol

[kien]

free BUMP for a great deal!!

[ScubaSteve]

Ah, you guys are idiots! See, Dave told you to pick a number between 0 and 50 to weed out the competition. He's actually thinking of one higher than 50. I can read your mind Dave... It's 174.5! Oh you're crafty! Touche worthy opponent, touche...

'Scuse me while I go find Doc Brown to mod my RX7 with a new flux capacitor so I can go back and win this tank! DeLoren's are out, Mazda's are in!

[parkinsn]

12? Did i win?

I have a friend who has one (at least last time we talked he still did). Very cool car overall, not overly fast, but cool... But like stainless steal appliances, a bitch to keep fingerprints off!

[ScubaSteve]

Hahahahhahahaha! Oh my god that made my freakin' day!

I really wanted to go with 1 but 42 is my guess

They have the engine out of an old volvo 240 car in them (I work in a shop that works on a lot of volvos, so we get a couple that come in).
Pretty cool cars. Stainless steel body.

Hi Kafug

Unfortunately, this contest is closed. We did give away the tank and might do it again at some point in the future, but there are currently no plans in the works.

The good news is that we are in Calgary and would be happy to talk to you about your new tank project. Please send me an email with as much detail as possible and I will get back to you with a quote.

If you are in the area, it might be just as easy to stop in and chat with Dave. Let him know if you are planning to stop by just in case he isnt around.

Here is our contact info:
