I really didnt want to sell any of them, however space dictates, and they just dont all fit in the area I have.

Proteus, whats going on mate?

Am i right that most those tanks were purchased just recently?

And your even selling your giant gorami's tank! :shock:

Proteus
Sun Jul 02, 2006, 11:05 PM
One was just purchased, plus a couple of new cabinets which are not required.

The GG's tank isnt for sale, the 6ft one was for the Bala Sharks but they are going to go into something bigger.

I have lots of tanks... lol :wink:

Proteus,

Are you a tank maker? Do you always have stock available? I'm thinking of getting a 5x2x2 few months down the track.

Cheers

No, I do not make the tanks.

They are built by one of the sponsors here, Xtreme Aquariums

Proteus - do you have any pics of the sump under the 6x2x2?

Is it still for sale?

Proteus
Mon Jul 03, 2006, 12:46 PM
the only pic I have on hand is when it was cycling on a 4 ft tank a while back...

The 6x2x2 will be available late next week as it is being used for a photo/video shoot next Monday. I will get some pics then of the whole unit, although the sump wont be used as it is being set up for a day only.

Pro's tanks are of the highest quality, i bought his old 4 x 19x 24 a year ago, and its a brilliantly built tank.

Xtreme
Wed Jul 05, 2006, 06:04 AM
FYI, the 6x2x2 tank & cabinet are currently set up in our store. The video shoot is being done by a production company for commercial purposes (relaxation DVD, screensaver type application).

The tank is now full of water and heavily planted, with fish to be introduced prior to next Monday.

Photos will be loaded over the next day or so for your viewing pleasure.

For interested parties, we are more than happy to put together a package on top of what Proteus is offering to sell all the plants that are currently occupying that tank.

Tank, Lids, Bulkheads, Cabinet.

I am keeping the sump to use on another tank.

I can organise to get another sump built at a good price, maybe not as big as what is in there now, but that was overkill.
