    Hi all.

    I am in the market for a 1.8/2m tank in good order (no leaks, no cracks)

    I can arrange for collection anywhere In the greater Durban area (within 100km)

    Please PM me with your price and we can make a plan.

    Cheers,

    Greg

    still looking if anyone else has something to sell. Found a great deal on Gumtree today, called the seller to arrange to meet and between 10AM and 2PM he went ahead and sold it. grrrrrrrrrrr
    only reason I even found out was because I called to confirm our meeting time..

    Some peeps..

    Lol, on a side note I have been chatting to the seller who I believe has been a tank builder for over 20 years and he seems madly reasonable, im getting a final quote today and will let you know what goes down..

    Cheers.

    Hey bud, thanks for the heads up.. I am just very conscious of the mark-ups that these tank builders slap onto their products. This guy offered to build me a tank, 1800x600x600 for under R2k all in... that's a price I can live with !
    I will check it out though, thanks again.

    Hey @tanked72, its so hard to tell, there is definitely a small amount of water under the tank (in the polystyrene) so its hard to tell if its leaking or if its overflow/spilled water from when im working on the tank... the water level doesn't seem to be affected greatly so I am honestly not too sure. So for now im just running the tank until I can replace it.

    Thanks for checking in ;)
