I started a new build and won’t be using this sump.  It’s it good condition with no leaks.  I’ve included a pic when it was set up last.  I live in Medford but I’m up north often for work.  Priced for quick sale, retail is $600.  Dimensions are 34x15x15. 

I think it's a great idea-I'm in.

I've been practicing Josh-your going down hahaha. See you at the meeting if not before then.

Ryan-

I'll be there and I'll bring some grub

The inside dimensions of the tank stand are 48" wide by 18" deep. I have a standard 55 that's in ok shape that I would trade for 40. It's to long at 48 inches.

bump for a good cause

Hi,

Thanks again for everyone who has helped out with my classes TFT tank. It's coming along. It needs a lot of work but I'm making progress. I'm still in need of a sump. Let me know if you have a 40g breeder or even a taller 55g that you would like to donate. I can even pick it up in most cases.

Thanks,

Ryan

Thanks for the offer. I have all the lighting and a heater. What size is the sump?

Bummer, I missed that one Donations are coming along. I still need a skimmer, salt, a return pump, and a 40 or 55g sump. The 55g sump that was donated is to long for stand. I'm willing to travel to pick up goodies.

Hi fellow PNWMAS members,

This is ryan (AKA ryan in salem on the forum) and I’ve been involved in the Tanks for Teachers program for the past year. I was fortunate enough to have a 29g tank for my class last year. The kids loved learning about the tank and it created a lot of interest in the hobby for students, parents, and fellow teachers.

This is where I need your help. I was even more fortunate this year to have someone donate a 90g tank, 55g sump, and stand. I am conducting a fundraiser to be able to purchase the needed items to complete this tank. I’ve been a reef tank enthusiast/addict for many years with my own home tanks and really need your help getting this tank up and working. I work in a charter school, am raising a family, and make about half of a standard teacher so unfortunately I can’t purchase all of what I need. I plan on spending quite a bit of time sanding, painting, and building a hood with my own funds.

Let me know if you can donate anything for the cause. Specifically, I need a skimmer, return pump, lighting for softies, salt mix, and a heater. It would be nice to have some kind of wave maker, extra heater, a reactor for GFO, GFO, and carbon.

Thank you,

Ryan Comer

yep, I wold love to have the 55 for the sump. Thanks again for all your help with the TFT program

I want to thank mrwheeling, steelhead77, and kilmca for the sweet TFT donations. A special thanks goes out to mrwheeling for donating the tank and stand. My class is going to love this setup.

I could use some xenia for the tft tank. I'll swing by the shop Sunday.

i like how you think-a disc golf tourney is a great idea! What do you think Kim and Roger?

Thanks for keeping you eyes open. I still have time. I'm just dreaming of that person who has a 125 with overflows that's taking up to much room in the garage

Does anyone have something bigger? I'd really like to treat the kids to a larger variety of fish and sea life

Thanks for the generous offer, but I don't think a commercial grade cold water tank is what I'm looking for.

Ryan you should be getting a pm about a potential tank from Kim. Let me know what you think. It would entail a drive to Astoria

Hi,

It looks like I'm moving into a larger room at my school and would love to have a larger tank for the kids. My 29g cube is going to look small. I'm not looking for anything fancy. It would be nice if it had a stand, some kind of reef lighting, and built in overflows. Roger, Kim, or anyone let me know if you know of any tanks that need a good home. Thanks again for all the kind donations and an amazing TFT program. This program is creating a ton of interest in the hobby. Several of my students and parents now want to start their own tanks.

Thanks again,

Ryan

Nice tank! Maybe someday I'll have a sweet tank like this for my class. My students loved the 29g but it's time to go bigger

Ryan-

Garrett is the man! The new arrivals look sweet!
