155g BowFront For Sale! EDIT/REDUCED PRICE

Good morning,
I have decided to sell my 155g, Glass Bow Front Aquarium, Stand and Hoods. Reason being (for those that don't know) I just purchased and set up a new 265g aquarium.

This tank has been stocked and running for 10 years. It's been wonderful but I need to let it go. It has never been emptied or moved in these 10 years. "No Leaks No Chips No Cracks". There are "No" water marks on the front or side glasses! The back has a black taped on background, I haven't removed it so there might be a water mark or two there. The center cross bars are in tact and no cracks.

I really would like to see this 155g aquarium go to a good home. It's dimensions: 72L by 18"W and bows to 24"W x 25"T. Trimmed in black with matching black stand. Glass hoods.

The tank is pre-drilled by the manufacturer for a built in over flow system. I have the inside plumbing, bulk heads, gaskets and PVC piping for both intake and outtake. It "does" need over flow sponges.

Cons: No filters, hoses or lighting included! (Sorry they're all on my new aquarium)

The stand needs to be painted.

The hoods have water marks on the rear panels. The center panel is in 2 pieces due to the rubber hinge separating; also a chip in the front right hand corner of this hood panel. (not big enough for a fish to get through.)Too, the hoods do not have handles.

There is one small scratch on the front left hand side...very small and I can't even feel it so it is not deep. There are a few dings (like from a belt buckle or possibly a pebble on my algae scrubber) so small I can't feel them or tell if they are on the inside or the outside. Neither of these issues deters you from looking at the fish or makes the tank unsafe in any way.

This is for local pick up only. I cannot ship it.

Asking price: $500.00 cash in full. REDUCED PRICE TO $400.00

Picture below.

Thanks!
Ken

ps Our member Lorabell recently bought my 72g bow front and she has seen the 155g aquarium also. I don't think she would mind me using her as a reference on my tanks. Thanks Lorabell!

I can't believe no one has snatched this up. Are you advertising locally also?

that is an amazing tank. i think you may have trouble selling it here tho since it cant be shipped, have you tried on craigslist?

i would do unethical things for a 155g bowfront...

LOL Thanks. I really don't want to deal with Craigslist but I'll cross that bridge if I have to. For now it's ok just sitting there empty lol I haven't done any advertisement other than here. I'm not really in a rush. Although the $ would be nice I'm not that concerned about it right now. I just want it to go to a good home.
I'll even accept payments: $100 a month for 4 months if that would help anyone.
Thanks!
Ken
