Todesengel Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I picked this baby up for $400(+$351), RR tank, stand, aqua c urchin pro skimmer, coralife 9w UV sterilizer, 30 Gallon Sump, Return Pump. It is filthy and I started cleaning it today! The previous owner had a serious hail algae problem. So stay tuned to see it come to life!! Link to comment

Todesengel Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I am on the search for a new tank. Calling around town. Link to comment
Rocket Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 even it it was slightly overhanging on the stand it should have been O.K. Did you check to make sure your floor was level? and correct this level by shimming the stand??? And damn that just not cool. Sorry for your loss. Oh got any pictures of the destruction???

Todesengel Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ask and ye shall receive. I am gonna get faded tonight and watch the fight!! This week was seriously the worse week of my life, first the girlfriend goes, now the new tank goes... I think im cursed, because my Karma bar should be full. I never do anything bad to anybody, I am actually quite the nice guy. Why the hell does this gotta happen to me! Anyway, after that rant I am over it and I can't find a 72 Gallon Bow front RR tank anywhere around town... Link to comment

Todesengel Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 The dude I talked to at petco checked the inventory off all the stores within the valley, and they are all out of stock. But they do they do have the combo's with the stand... I told the guy my story, and he's gonna see if he can sell me just the tank. Gotta call him back in 30min I found one at About the Reef, $318 and it can be here Tuesday. Lucky it didn't happen inside the house. Yeah, I guess it could have been worse. Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 If you want to shatter the front glass, hammer a fine pointed nail into it, or stick one to the end of your bar. Just make sure you wear eye protection, and want to vacuum a lot of tiny pieces of glass. Link to comment
