150 gal cube from 7 stills

[Coral reefer]

Going to be breaking down the 150 gal cube at 7 stills that came from @xcaret once upon a time.
I think it’s 36x36x27? And comes with stand and sump
Overflow back left corner

There is a simplicity skimmer,
aqua top 36 watt uv (needs bulb)
And Kessil ap700 that could be purchased along with the tank if interested. Please respond here and pm me or text if you have my number.

Hello! I work at a high school in the south bay, and am in the process of hunting for tanks to set up in the classroom - this sounds like it would work great for what I am looking for! PM incoming with details.

 

[xcaret]

Oh that would be a sweet set up for the school !!
It’s a 36x36 cube btw

Jealous
I had a tank that size in my care
Was great dimensions!
Good luck to whoever gets it

What is really cool is we are looking at setting up tanks for long term coral monitoring and experimentation for our upper level research course, so this would be perfect! I have my fingers crossed!

Should be this tank.

36x36x27; cabinet I think ~36" in height sans casters.

Pending pickup by @jstiltne

Man how long has that tank been up? So pissed mine leaked after a less than a year.

[Coral reefer]

Gone to @jstiltne
Good luck and keep us posted man. Maybe a tank journal even!

The tank made it to the school in great shape, and I am proud to report that even without cleaning out the remaining sand and water, it did not stink up the staff hallway lol. I did take the sump home for some citric acid spa treatment, and the build will be a slow process while we decide where to put the tank long term. One question for the @Coral reefer and the crowd:
After looking into the Marineland deep tanks, apparently a lot of people had failures with the seams - this is my worst nightmare as the tank is now in a professional setting, and I am not tenured at this school lol. So, here is what the seams look like on the tank: Is this something I should be concerned about?

 

[jstiltne]

Also, @Coral reefer how old is the tank? Possibly @xcaret can answer as well. Thanks crew, looking forward to getting some students to clean it! Haha!

 

[Coral reefer]

I don’t know the age sorry

 

[Coral reefer]

I think what you are looking at is the protective silicon and not the actual bonding layer btw

 

[Kensington Reefer]

the 2 that have failed on me were the bottom seam

 

[jstiltne]

the 2 that have failed on me were the bottom seam

Good to know - do you know how old they were approximately when they failed? I am thinking this tank has been used for a few years, and the seams seem solid if its made it this far

It was up at 7 stills since just before the pandemic and @xcaret had it up less than a year I think but he got it used
