Cool 300 Gallon Starphire for Sale + Stand + Sump (almost new) Kelowna




























I’m selling only the Glass Aquarium, Stand, Sump, and the plumbing fittings all of which are less than year old. (Lighting or anything else is not for sale)

I’m downsizing to a slightly smaller rimless tank to fit the overall design of the house better.

300 Gallon Tank
  • Custom Built by Miracles Aquariums (search RC for their reputation if you aren’t familiar with them)
  • 96” wide x 24” deep x 30” Tall
  • 3/4” Thick Glass
  • Euro-braced Top
  • Clean looking Machined Polished Edges
  • Ultra clear Starphire Glass on the front, side panels, and euro bracing
  • Black Silicone
  • 24” x 8” x 30” overflow for maximization of surface skimming
  • Overflow is black acrylic, with internal glass for strength
  • Overflow drilled with 3 x 1.5” drain holes, and 2 x 1” returns
  • Bottom is tempered for strength (post drilling)
  • “Herbie” styled silent drain plumbing with gray PVC Schedule 80 pipes and Spears valves
  • Nearly perfect condition, with no visible scratches that I’ve noticed
Custom Built Stand
  • Custom built by Oceanic Corals in Aldergrove, BC
  • Solid Wood, 3 doors
  • Modern look
  • Black Furniture finished
  • Needs some minor work if you are perfectionist (I am): a portion of the finish on the front is slightly “cloudy” due to a mistake by the finishing painter. There is small crack on the cosmetic front lip (1/4” wood used to hide the first inch of sand in the aquarium) Some of the doors didn’t close well as the seasons change, so I had a finishing carpenter shave off a few mm (not noticeable).

Rimless Sump
  • 45 gallons
  • Drilled with a 1.5” hole on the side
  • Solid but flawed, one of the pieces of glass is 1/8” longer than the others (but I keep it hidden at the back)

Here’s what I paid and I’ve got the invoices for you to look at:
Tank - $4300 delivered to Kelowna + HST.
Stand - $3100 + HST + delivery to Kelowna.
45 Gallon Rimless Sump - $150

Everything is less than a year old, and I am looking to recoup $2500 OBO.

You are going to need at least 6-7 people help you move this, and the rental of suction cups from Wynn rentals.
