WTB 60 breeder tank with sump for classroom

[Jbissell1289]

Hey guys, I’m looking to upgrade my 20 gallon aio that @Chris.Sturgis gave to me toward the beginning of the year. I’m wanting more volume to have less swings and have more fish activity for the kids to watch. Only have a clownfish and royal gramma that are out regularly.

Looking for around a 40-60 gallon display. It needs to be in decent shape as it will be in my classroom so I can’t be worrying about it leaking.

I am getting $500 from my conference (like a school district) for “technology to help me teach.” Already have approval for a second hand so long as I can get a signed receipt. So that is my preferred budget, but I can probably swing a bit more as I have my birthday coming up.

If anyone has something and would be willing to help me out getting something on the bigger size, I would appreciate it!

This is my current setup.

Just updating, Looking for more a lagoon style tank, not a cube. If it's an AIO, I'd like at least a 40 gallons. But I'm thinking 60 gallon is my max.

Bump. I had a 60 gallon breeder all set to pick up on Sunday. I even had a truck lined up to borrow from a friend, and the seller backed out on me. He decided to start his tanks back up again. Which is cool, but now I'm looking for a tank again! Anyone have anything in the 60- 80 range now, but that's about as big as I'm comfortable with. I'm upping it I suppose to possibly 80.

I am really loving the size of the 60 breeder though. Anyone have a RR 60 breeder laying around?

I was hoping to have the tank before Thanksgiving as my school is doing work right before and all power is being shut off for 4-5 days. So I'm bringing the tank home before break and I want to set up in the upgraded, in the classroom in the bigger tank at the end of Thanksgiving break. No point in moving 3 times, when I can move twice.

I'm trying to get a longer/shallower tank. I think I may be getting an 80 gallon deep blue rimless tank off of FB Marketplace.

Petco currently has Aqueon 60B tanks for 50% off. which is $99.00. I have a 20L sump you can have, but no 48" wide stand. 20L is in Foxboro. Able to bring to fragsgiving if you're going.

 

[Jbissell1289]

Nice! The guy with the 60b messaged me back and decided to sell it to me after all. Good to know if it falls through though!

 

[Jbissell1289]

Well, I messaged the guy this morning and he never responded with his address but did look at the messages. So I guess I’m not getting that set up. So back to the drawing board.

Cool thanks! Now I just need to track down a 60 breeder that I don't have to drill... Trying to get something more or less ready to go.
