    Hi MarcF, It is my dream to have a tank like this. I would absolutely LOVE it. Sadly I'm not in a position to buy. I can fetch and fix, but I don't have spare cash right now, otherwise I would have taken it. Sorry.

    I have a 1M tank. 100Litres. But it is probably too small, as I'm wanting to upgrade. Thanx anyway.

    Hey there, why dont you post it to gumtree also?
    I have the space for the tank, just not the money, wife will kill me! currently running 2x 1,2 m tanks and they are sufficient for now!

    what do you want for the tank, I will ask around also!
    cheers

    Tried it on Gumtree but I get ridiculous offers lol
    I am moving out in the next month and the new house does not have space for the 3m tank, can fit a 2m in there.
    Currently have a 1.2m community tank, but wanted the bigger for for CA Cichlids.

    Thanks.

    so true.

    Might help if you cleaned up the tank a bit (bit more presentable) and put a price on so people know where to start negotiations.

    Tank collected yesterday and moved to Somerset West. What an exercise moving such a large tank 50km!!

    Just want to say a huge thank you to @MarcF for this opportunity. Was great to meet another forum member in the flesh.

    Still deciding whether to use this monster for discus.......or my arowana that is maturing.

    Will post a thread on this a bit later.

    Hi MarcF, 2 questions if you don't mind. 1) How did you manage water changes? and 2) did you put Styrofoam between tank and cabinet?

    @pHish_man Thank you for meet and the trade in. Going to fix up that new tank and get a sump running in there. Once done going for Malawi setup, will post pics in a new thread once done.
    @RVisser There was Styrofoam between the tank and cabinet at one stage, got damaged during the last move though. I did not do any water changes in there as it was not setup really. Was going to get it running but then some complications happened and I had to get a smaller tank. :(
