Pennisula style 110 gaL rimless tank.
 
LxWxH
Tank Dimensions: 48” x 30.25” x 18”
Stand Dimensions: 48” x 30.30 x 41”
Sump dimensions:  30.5” x 16” x 16”

The glass is ¾” thick and comes with scratches from another user. So be knowledgeable that this isn’t in pristine condition.

Comes with 4 chambered sump. I use it partially as a refugium and have been very pleased with the results. The return pump being used in the system is (I believe) a danner mag pump and was replaced within the year. So there is good amount of life left in the pump.

The biggest deal with this tank is that while I was on vacation my fish watcher didn’t follow my instructions and did not change a filter sock. Resulting in water flooding over the filter sock into the base of the tank. The original owner, for whatever stupid reason, made the base out of particle board. Anyone that knows about particle board and water knows that it swells. So the base of the tank will need to be redone. I imagine plywood would work just fine and luckily how the tank was built all that is needed is to place the piece of lumber underneath.

The sump doesn’t have a model number that I can see and was made by Platinum, professional filtration series. So says the label.

I also have a reef octopus I was running with the system whose pump is faulty and needs to be replaced. That could probably come along with the tank if you’re up for replacing the pump.

The overflow has a silencer that I believe is a modified stockman silencer.

This tank was originally owned by an individual who had it plumbed for a closed loop system. Meaning there are a series of holes in the base glass of the tank that use bung hole fittings to seal the system. The stand has corresponding holes for the tank and has been made that if you wanted to change the direction of the tank on the stand, that you are able to do so.

 I currently am not using the system for closed loop anymore. I had it set up as a closed loop when I first set up the tank but had issues with how oversized the pump was that came with it. 

That being said I have all the flow fittings that attach to the different ports and filter attachments. If you were to set the system up as closed loop you would need is vinyl tubing. All ports for the closed loop system 4 return into the tank are fitted with ball valves.

I really like the dimensions of this tank but downgraded to a smaller system. With that in mind I’ll also probably be throwing in numerous corals, live rock, and a lot of live sand.


Considering the flaws mentioned above I think it’s a great tank. Please message me if you have any additional questions. I will be transferring the contents of the tank into my new tank that has been cycling now for over a month. So I apologize for not having clean updated photos of what you will be getting without my livestock. I also don’t have a truck to help transport the tank. I live in Corvallis.

This is when it was closed loop:
