The T5 strips are currently pending sale.
But they were used for 1 year. Has some salt on them but I have cleaned most of it off.

Off topic, sorry, but by any chance is this a Hagen tank and does it have a center brace or no? Reason I'm asking is I think I have the exact same setup purchased used over 2 years ago. I often wondered about the lack of center brace and added a wooden one just in case. Thanks in advance for any info.

FWIW, I'm happy with mine and anyone considering purchasing, if it turns out to be a Hagen like mine, none of the glass panels are tempered so it is totally drillable if desired.

I don't remember off the top of my head what brand it is. I can check tonight. But it does not have a center brace. I actually have another 77gal exactly like this one and it has no center brace either.

Great, thanks for the info. The stand in your photo is a dead ringer for what I have as well and the fact that it has no brace is further confirmation. Also the unusual size of 77 gal. Standard 48 length & 24 height but width is 16 which is a bit different too. The top plastic trim has a "Hagen" logo stuck to it.

Hey Mike,
You are correct. It is a Hagen tank. The Logo was on the other side of the tank. And it appears that the middle does have a slot for a brace. I never noticed it

. I've never needed one though. I bought this tank off a friend when they had a baby and didn't want to manage it. He never used a brace either.

Thanks very much for the update hummer. "slot for a brace"?? You mean the trim? Top trim on mine has no slot of any kind that I can see. As per my previous post, I didn't like the way it bowed out at the center when I filled it so I ghettoed up a wooden brace for it, but looks to me like Hagen designed it without one if you have two of them with no brace. I haven't bothered doing up a nicer brace since this tank will become either a sump or refugium when I upgrade to a larger one. Won't be near as full as it is now, so I'll lose the wood.

Sorry for the hijack, but you get a Sunday bump for the thread... Thanks again and good luck on the sale. The tank has done well by me.
