Shilo Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Merry Xmas everybody, I have been offered a 125ltr glass tank but neither myself or the vendor knows what it is worth. It is fairly old but in good condition. 90x40x37cm with glass 0.9cm thick (solid describes it!). It was used as a turtle tank but comes with a cover sheet. I want to buy it for a fair price since the seller is a friend, no extras are supplied. Any ideas of what its worth? :-?

Caryl Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 I recently sold 2 3ft tanks (thinner glass) for $40 each. Bare tanks, no lids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Yup $40 wouldn't be far off, (I just built and sold a custom tank 1200mmx460mmx500mm for $80 with lid) terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect to pay around the $40 or $50 mark for such a tank if I was looking for one. I recently sold a 60 x 24 x 12 inch tank made from 10mm glass for $50 but it was in my way and I was happy to see it go. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilo Posted December 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Thanks guys, Offered $60 for it since it would cost at least $20 to freight it here if I brought it in Auck. Now in the middle of making a stand and hood. I'm thinking of using my current small tanks gravel, plants, filter and water so I can transfer the fish straight over to their new mansion. Will this work? or will the new tank still go through some cycling since over 1/2 the water and gravel will be new? Cheers Shilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Shilo it worked for me when I transferred to new tank. I rinsed the new tank out well with fish antiseptic (masterpet) just to ensure no bugs n such were carried over. Have fun in setting up.
