FS: 90 Gallon Miracles Aquarium rimless tank with custom furniture quality stand

[Kent D.]

I no longer have the time for this tank due to other projects so I am looking to sell it....


The tank is direct from Miracles aquariums (http://www.miraclesaquariums.com/) and is 1/2 thick glass. The inside of the tank has an internal overflow box. I have a second internal overflow box to go with tank.


Tank and stand are in good condition.


The stand is a custom peninsula stand that was stained and polyurethane professional by http://www.spadaforadesign.com/. Stand has identical doors on both sides of the stand with magnet syncs with hidden hinges. This allows the stand to be a peninsula stand if desired. The ends of the stand also have doors that come off for easy access.


Cost me over $2000 for tank and stand.
I am looking for $800 obo for tank and stand only.


Located in Albany, NY but could work out a midpoint meeting place.

Bought this tank and it was dirty but he said there where no scratches, got it homeland cleaned it up and it's so scratched I dontbknow if I'm gonna use it, what a scumbag

 

[Rob&Gab]

That suksman. Sorry to here,that's why I alwaysinspect when I'm there =\

 

[SALTCREEP]

wow!!!!!!!!!!! sorry to hear that bro

 

[benzc01]

I know I should have, he had the tank and stand outside ( should have took that as a bad sign) and it was like 15 degrees out and my wife was with me , I'm just a guy who puts to much trust in people

 

[benzc01]

I'd never be able to sleep if I knew someone wasn't happy

 

[Smotz]

wow - this guy has like 193 posts - he's been here for a bit.
Maybe it's my mistake but if you're a senior member here I typical trust you.
Maybe I shouldn't...

 

[benzc01]

Yeah that's my thinking, live and learn I guess

 

[Smotz]

maybe MR should have stricter rules - now this guy has hurt MR's credibility in my book.

Unfortunately the term 'Senior Member' means NOTHING...it is given automatically when a member makes a certain numbers of posts.

 

[benzc01]

I dont fault MR, I mainly fault myself, MR is awesome! Just a buyer beware reminder i guess

 

[Zoous]

sorry to hear this but in the post he did say good condition there should have been more clarification on the tank.

 

[benzc01]

Well there was when I talked to him

Your absolutely right this guy has because he got the tank home decided he didn't like it and is bad mouthing the seller. He went and saw the tank and purchased it and now has changed his mind. I know KentD and have 110% faith he would never screw someone like this. All this talk about senior member but the poster who bought it is a new member. If anyone is giving MR a bad look its this guy. If you still are sticking by your story then take your own admission and chalk it up to a mistake you made by not looking/listening when you were told and saw the condition of the tank. Unfortunately when you buy used you don't get to return it if you don't like it not like there are extended holiday return policies in place.

I see where you're coming from CMANTIS but I've learned not to trust anyone. I inspect EVERYTHING I but and test equipment before I buy it also

 

[benzc01]

Cmantis if Kent is such a stand up guy then why isn't he responding to my texts or to this thread for that matter , I'm a stand up guy and if I sold a dog turd to someone and they didn't like it I would make it right! as a community of reefers were supposed to help each other not stick it to each other

 

[benzc01]

I'm not a new member either I've actually been a member longer then Kent learn how to read

 

[cmantis]

^^ Yup you have to because once you buy it you own it. I am not saying anyone that hasn't met KentD before should necessarily trust him but I do know him personally and can vouch for his character. I find it rather suspect that this guy is coming on here bashing him after admitting his own faults. There are obviously three sides to every story. I do feel bad for him if he does feel remorse after the fact but I also know he didn't get swindled like he is implying. Just trying to clear the air. Lets all take a deep breath and move on.

I also just want to point out that I highly doubt you will find any used tank without some scratches no matter how small but what often looks worse when its dry is hardly noticeable once full. Hopefully he can get it setup with some nice fish and corals and look past this and enjoy a nice tank. I actually was thinking of picking this up myself if he wasn't so far.

Your analogy is ******ed. Maybe because you opened your mouth in this way instead of acting mature and responsible you aren't getting the response you desire. I don't think that this is helping any. By your own admission you went in person and inspected I also believe you were informed of the condition while there am I correct? Then you really have nobody to blame if you aren't happy except yourself. Buyers remorse is not a good reason to start name calling. Did you expect a flawless 'used' tank? Its a really nice tank at a good price I am serious when I said I almost bought it. If I were you I would try to focus on the positive and not dwell in the past. We are here for you as a community to help you! If I myself can be of any assistance or guidance along the way to making the enjoyable for you please don't hesitate to ask.
