My Vallis is looking dried out, sad and limp (no, that's not a euphemism)

... after recovering it from the debris of Vallis tank #1.

Fortunately there's still plenty growing in the pond outside and elsewhere in my 4ft planted and 4ft Malawi tanks!

 

So I urgently need a replacement 4ft by 18in of sufficient strength to take a shirtload of bentonite clay, soil and gravel for Vallis Farm #2.

 

Can pay in limestone, duckweed, driftwood, vallis, cash, or swap for a 3ft in fair condition (no lids) on a pine stand.

Tanks
Dimensions (length/width/height): 4ft (122cm) x 18in (46cm) x 18-24in depth

Glass Thickness: 8mm or more (with adequate bracing)
Condition: Fair is OK; poor is not
Age: Don't care
Stand (wood or metal, bare stand or cabinet): already have one thanks
Lids: Nice if it has, doesn't matter if it doesn't
Price or ballpark figure: Not much...
Shipping available?  I live NOR so not keen on Mandurah/Baldivis unless you want to deliver
Photos: Please send them to me!!! (of the tank you are offering, don't need anymore photos of vallis, broken glass or debris on the back tiles)

 

Please PM  Jim "the King of Vallisneria"

Came home after a great 5 days holiday down south to find...the bottom had cracked and fallen out of my 4ft vallis tank... fortunately it was out the back near the clothesline... has taught me some valuable lessons...
1. Never rely on a second hand tank (at least not indoors)
2. A steel stand is not always adequate support - especially with only 1 metal cross-brace
3. Never overload with substrate, even if you are running a Vallis factory
4. Distribute the load evenly with a solid board on top of the stand frame with insulating foam above

... now to hit gumtree for the cheapest 4x 18 I can find!!!
