Hey guys I just wanted to give TWW fist dibs on this before I put it on Craigslist for $150.
Comes with....
- 75 gal tank - tank stand - water filter w/ extra filter cartridge - everything inside the tank you see including fish (4 goldfish and a minnow) - fish net - drain hose - some extra parts and pieces
Not looking to part it out. EVERYTHING MUST GO.

I am very interested in it. What is the length? I have a spot that I am pretty sure is big enough but I just want to make sure.
Thanks,

looks like a standard 75gal, so it should be 4 feet long. 4/4/2012 9:52:21 PM |

I dont know if its the angel of the pictures but it seems to be a 55gal (12in wide vs 20" for a 75).
Like I said, maybe its the angle, but measure it and see. 4/6/2012 9:27:36 PM |

i think it looks a bit taller than a typical 55 gal, probably same length. 4/6/2012 11:25:11 PM |

Unlike the vast majority of users selling things on Tdub, Sparky actually has a functioning brain. I'd be awfully surprised if he mis-measured/mis-quoted what he's selling.
Just because you're the resident aquarium nerd doesn't mean you know everything.
LEAVE SPARKY ALONE.

What part of my post required you to be a douchebag in your reply exactly?
Im simply stating an observation, nothing more. If Im wrong, Im wrong, big whoop.
Take your pill and go back to chit chat.
Edit: Put the pics in my cad program and it seems to be 48x20x12 which would indicate a 55gallon. If its some odd size and the pics arent showing it correctly then I apologize to Sparky for bringing it up, already PM'ed about it anyways.

To me the side looks 12", not 20", like Taikimoto said.
1' x 4' x 2' = 8' ft^3
7.48 gallons per cubic foot.
8' ft^3 x 7.48 gal/ft^3 = 59.84 gal (full) or a 55 gallon tank.
I'm siding with Taikimoto 4/8/2012 1:05:47 AM |

Second fishnerd agrees that it appears to be a 55, the lighting looks like standard 12" units 4/9/2012 12:54:40 AM |

hey man thanks for backing me up but Taikimoto may be right. I based the volume of pictures off the internet since I wasn't around the tank when I posted this add. I really need to measure it to verify the volume. it may very well be 55 gal.
also, sorry for not getting up with the interested parties yesterday. i didn't get back into town until late last night. let me verify the measurements this afternoon so we can get an accurate volume and then well continue the negotiations.4/9/2012 9:30:54 AM |

measurements are 12" x 48" x 21" so i guess that would make it a 55gal. if you are still interested let me know. 4/9/2012 9:24:31 PM |

Haha oh god. My faith is RUINED. Plus I knew it would create a fairly decent nerdfight.
I'd buy it if I had the willpower to maintain an aquarium. 4/10/2012 6:28:48 AM |
