  5 ft fish tank



Description: This is a fantastic 5ft fish tank that comes complete in a very sturdy cabinet. This tank is different from most of the others advertised as it is wider and deeper, this tank is really an eye catcher and the cabinet really 'show cases' the tank.


Measurements:

Width = 5ft (10 mm thick glass)

Depth = 2ft

Height of Tank = 2ft 6inches

Height (including cabinet & hood) = 5ft 2inches

(600 litre tank)

Filters / CO2:

There are 4 filters running on this tank (as I am keeping Discus fish). These filter are;

- Eheim Professional 2229

- Eheim ECCO PRO 2036

- Eheim 406

- Fluval 405

There is also a large CO2 bottle / holder / gauge / pipes / the 'release' plastic thing that goes in the tank.

Lighting:

I have 5 lights (Aquaray) LED, 2 doubles and a single. (This cost £350.00!!)

Heating:

2 heaters.....I also have undergravel heating which helps the plants (really does make a difference!)

Fish:

You can't see in the picture but I have 3 large discus (ranging from 5 - 6 half inches) and a few smaller ones. I am not intending on including these in the sale of this tank. However if you are interested in these I can send pictures but will be an additional cost for these Discus.

There are other small (and very old) tropical fish in the tank that is included in the sale of this tank. This also included 4 large clown loaches (worth approx £50
Bog Wood / Plants:

I have a large collection of some stunning pieces of bog wood, some of which are quite large and look stunning in this tank. I intend on including them in the sale of this tank.

I also have a stunning collection of plants (thanks to the CO2 and the undergravel heating!), these will also be included in the sale of this tank.

Cabinet / Hood:

The cabinet is solid and very heavy. There are 2 large cupboards, one for the filters and the other to store food etc. The front of the tank has been painted a 'cream' colour but it can be painted any colour to match your colour scheme.

The hood comes in two parts. The main section that sit on the top of the tank, which the lights are attached to, and the other is the top part and very easily comes off so you are maintain the tank and keep the lights on so you are see what you are doing......this really is of benefit. One thing that I would point out is that the hood is warped and does need some maintenance, although this doesn't effective the usage.

RO - Man:

I also have a RO Man (reverse Osmosis 3 stage RO system) and a pump (which makes it go faster). This will also be included in the sale of the tank.

Collection only - cash on collection only.....I would also like to point out that tank is extremely heavy (even whilst it's empty). It will require a minimum of 3 strong men. I don't mind helping dismantling the tank and assisting with moving it into a van, but please be mindful if you intend of bidding that you will need a van and help!.


Many thanks....if you have any questions, please give me a call on 07824 664281, Paul
