175 Custom Starfire Tank FS $750 OBO

[strendo]

This is a super nice custom tank that took over 3 months to make. I finally received it on friday and chipped 2 edges putting it on the stand. It's holding water no problem, but I don't feel comfortable with my young son playing around it. It's almost cube shape: 48 wide, 36 deep, 24 tall. It has a small overflow in the back left corner. The front and right glass are starfire.
I paid $3,300 for it inc. the stand. It's a steal for $750 if you can fix it or live with it (no guarantees)
It's from Aquarium Obsessed in Canada, the same place that built all of Grenwich Aquaria's tanks.

cool tank. what did the company say about the chips? I see it's set up, so no worries structurally? when would you be taking it down?

 

[jhale]

if you wanted to keep the tank set up how about making a strip to match the stand and cover the chips along the bottom?

 

[strendo]

They said that they can't guarantee it like it is. Their recommendation was to drain it, silicone the chipped parts and put a piece of plywood and styrofoam down before refilling it. I'm too nervous with my kid around so I'm draining it tomorrow.

 

[strendo]

Btw Jhale, some of those corals in there are yours!

 

[kimoyo]

Wow, I feel really bad for you. Any chance you could send it back and they could repair it?

 

[strendo]

I didn't want to say that it was broken when I got it. They're giving me the replacement tank a little cheaper than the original, but I still have to wait at least 2 months.

Is 1 chip on the front, and the other on the right starfire?

 

[neptune]

[strendo]

yes, both chips are at the bottom of the starfire glass. none of them are on the bottom pane

 

[strendo]

Thanks, I hate going back to my old 90 after this... and only 3 days running!

 

[Dace]

[neptune]

[jhale]
