Bowfront Aquarium setup

[NotSure]

Heres what I'm looking for:

72 or 90 gallon bowfront w/ stand and glass tops. Prefer a 90! Black trim, oak trim, doesn't matter.

Heres what I don't want:

Braces broke, glass cracked, needs resealing, leaks, scratches in the front glass, etc, you get the point. I'm not interested in a setup that was abused.

What am I using it for?:

Freshwater! So it does NOT have to be drilled and wasn't used for saltwater.

Am I wanting more than just the aquarium setup itself?

Depends on the price and what you have. I really only need the tank, stand, and glass tops. I've got a light unless you are including yours. If you have pumps, filters, decorations, gravel/sand, fish, food, supplies, etc, that was for that tank then I might be interested in those as well, depending on price of course.

Where do I live and how far am I willing to travel to get it?

I live in adrian michigan which is roughly an hr SE of jackson. I prefer to keep it around the 45min~1hr max driving time. So bring up mapquest, punch in adrian (zip code 49221) and your area, and see how far you are from me.

Just a suggestion.

I would say try looking on your local Craigslist or buying a new one. No one really takes orders and with all the specifics you want/dont want etc. you'd be better off buying a new one or one of craigslist..or taking what you can get

No way could I afford a new one. Biggest tank I ever bought new was a 29g-long. That was in my teenager years. No plans on buying another. There will be a tank out there that has my name on it. Just takes patience. I've already searched craigslist and have been checking other boards. What you mean the specifics that I want and don't want? I had a lot of "I don't cares" such as I don't care if its drilled, don't care if its oak or black, don't care if it doesn't come with any extras. I did state that I didn't want someone elses junk. That was really the only thing that I was being picky about. I wrote that I didn't want one used for saltwater, thats an error, I meant to say I didn't care what it was used for.

I guess I also was being picky on the distance. See, I don't own a vehicle big enough to haul something like this. So I have to borrow (ie rent) a vehicle which gets like 10mpg. Hey its all I have access to. So of course I'm not going to take it across the state with gas prices the way they are. I figure 30~40 miles one-way at the max.

I found one that I might get. It won't be ready for purchase for a few weeks. So between that time I'll see if I can find an even better deal. So they are around.

My last 2 tanks were both a 72g. One was f/w, the other was s/w. Tank I had before that was a 46 bow f/w. So I've had bowfronts for a while now. Each time I upgraded to a bigger one which is why I would prefer a 90 over a 72. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of the 72's now. Thought I was going to stay out of the hobby but guess not.
