This is a high quality large aquarium and steel stand ready-to-go as your next cichlid tank, coral reef or mega planted tank.  The double stand means you can use the area below for storage or for another large fish tank, as such this setup is equally at home in your living room or in your fish room.  It's done both for me!  This is a regretful sale as this piece is a great display and workhorse, but unfortunately it has to go.

 

**SOLD** Total price = $500.00 for the lot.  PM me soon!

Details and photos are below.  **Please note that the lower aquarium as shown in the pictures is not for sale and is not included here in this price.**  For sale here is the 6' x 2' x 2' aquarium (top in the pictures), black steel stand, glass lids, 6' x 2' MDF and foam, and gravel.

Aquarium

  • 6' x 2' x '2 = 1.83 m x 0.61 m x 0.61 m (a total of 680 L volume)
  • Hand made by Morley Aquariums in Perth, with their sterling reputation for quality
  • 10 mm glass construction with black silicone all round
  • Black painted rear - paint is in excellent condition, no scratches or flaking, and looks great from the front
  • Excellent condition, fully structurally sound, holds water of course
  • Spotlessly clean and ready to be filled
  • No major scratches, chips or blemishes, a single small (approx 1 inch) scratch is present in the front face but it is hardly noticeable - otherwise in excellent condition all round

Stand

  • Black powder coated solid steel
  • Hand made by Mick Sheppard of Morley Aquariums in Perth
  • Underlying steel is galvanised and all welded points have had a primer paint under the powder coat
  • Measures 2.00 m x 0.66 m at base, and is 0.82 m high
  • Will hold additional aquariums on bottom tier, for example 6' x 18" x 18" (as shown in pictures but **not included with this sale**) or two shorter but wider tanks, for example 3' x 2' x 18" and 2' x 2' x 18"
  • Steel is in very good condition with no rust and is structurally sound - completely ready-to-go
  • Some minor cosmetic blemishes around base and small scratches, if you wanted to address these a quick once-over with a matte black pressure pack would suffice or it would be quite cheap to have the stand re-powder coated if you wanted it back to flawless, brand-new condition

  • Foam has a black-taped front and sides to match the aquarium and stand

  • Enough to provide approx 2 inch layer (as pictured)
  • Suitable for a planted aquarium - this is a mix of standard gravel (25%) and Seachem Flourite (75%)  very expensive iron-rich substrate formulated for plant growth (new, this was about $300 worth of gravel)
  • 20 L white plastic buckets are included
