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? :-?

Cheers

I recently sold 2 3ft tanks (thinner glass) for $40 each. Bare tanks, no lids.

Yup $40 wouldn't be far off,

(I just built and sold a custom tank 1200mmx460mmx500mm for $80 with lid)

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.

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?

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.

It will work.
