4x2ft x 700mm high water dragon encl
Price: 200   

Quantity Available
1

General Description
4x2ft THICK glass tank (at least 10mm thick). I had the tank added to so that it could be used for a water dragon. There is a piece of glass across the middle of the tank at an angle with small rocks siliconed to the glass for grip. Intent is to fill the front half of the tank with water (with room for small internal filter) and to fill the back with soil and substrate. There is a hole in the bottom of the tank on the substrate side with a drain installed, and a pipe with holes inside the tank so that water can drain through the bottom, so the tank would need to be placed on a stand. This is so moisture doesn't build up in the soil and cause mold and rotted plants.

Tank in new and unused, just a little dusty. It's been sitting in storage for a while.

No pictures right now as it's in the back of the shed, would like to get some expressions of interest and then I'll get it out, clean it up and get photos. Tank weighs a bit so I'd like to know that someone is interested before I get it unpacked. =) Willing to take offers, I need this gone soon as I'm moving.

Willing to trade for any other enclosures, or partial trade (I'd pay the difference) for a snake (carpets and similiar sizes).

Bump. Tank is in great condition, will drop price if I get an offer. I can get a photo for anyone that asks, and otherwise I'll get a photo tomorrow or Sunday.

Pictures attached

Willing to let this go a bit cheaper. I paid around $180 for the tank, it's 1cm thick glass, very strong, VERY VERY heavy. Glass in the middle is about 6mm, front of the tank is very well sealed, will not leak. This has NOT been used, just dirty from being in the shed at the moment.

Would be a great tank even for a bunch of frogs, or a little turtle, or whatever you'd like. There's enough space at the front to fit a good filter which will help keep the mess down in the water if you have water dragons. A filter like this should be good:

There are NO lights or hood or filter included, I never got around to building a cover for the tank unfortunately. No stand either, would be suited to a fishtank stand or even just a very sturdy solid wood table.

Dimensions are 121cm long, 60cm wide and 70cm tall.

Pictures:
1. Tank from the back, looking at the area where the soil/substrate would go. I'd suggest filling this area with either pebbles/rocks, or some sort of lightweight filler, and then filling the top with the soil.
2. From the back again, with an angle.
3. From the top, showing the area for the water at the front, and the area for the substrate at the back.
4. Shows the top of the tank. There is a plastic strut, and plastic corner pieces that would hold a piece of wood cut to size quite well; for a simple 'lid'
5. Closeup, showing the hole in the bottom of the tank for the drain, and the drain tube. this screws into the hole and the tube has holes in it to help water drain out if you use plants in the top layer of the substrate. This would help keep moisture from building up and causing fungal or mold growth.

Still asking $200 for the tank, but I'll take offers. Unfortunately I can't deliver, but if you have a ute and at least two strong people you should be able to get it home, or you can book a courier to come by on a thurs-friday or saturday to pick it up.
