Gone - Dry Goods Free 180g acrylic tank, stand and top

I have shut down this tank and am consolidating down to another tank. Therefore this 180g acrylic tank is available for free. It is 6' by 30" by 18", sometimes called a 180 tall.

It will need a thorough cleaning as the back 'glass' is caked in stuff having been running for 7+ years. If I were to set it up again, I would also take the opportunity when its dry to polish it as well. There is a deeper gash on the "back" which I doubt one can polish out, which is why I made it the back. There are also some blemishes on the front I was never able to polish out 7 years ago when I set it up.

There is no plumbing included, you will need 4 new bulkheads and associated plumbing.

The stand and top are included if you want them, both have served me well for the past 7+ years with no signs of structural problems, although they could use a refinishing. When I set this tank up, I added some additional bracing to the stand to both beef it up but also to prevent any bowing on the bottom, none has happened. I can add broken down pictures tomorrow, but here it is when it was fully running.

Please PM me if you are interested and have the means to transport this size tank and stand. The tank is not all that heavy being acrylic, 2 men can move it, 3-4 makes it easy. Located in Sterling, MA.

I am interested wife wants a fish only for a Frenchy. Where you located?
 
He’s in Lancaster I believe. Or Sterling on the Lancaster line. Wish I had the means and space!
 
Here is everything broken down
Tank: dual overflows, each with 2 holes. I used 3 as drains and 1 as a return, however it's most likely intended to have 2 drains and 2 returns on a canister filter or something.
Tank shot 2: the sides are blue acrylic, the gaps between the overflows and the tank front/back fit mp40 size powerheads. Gyres fit vertically quite nicely, this is what I did, one in each corner, out of site and created great flow.
Stand/top: this is the top sitting on the stand. Its an open style top, my lights sat directly on supports on top, hidden from view.
