Yet another Barramundi farm has closed up and they are selling off all their gear.
I got these two 10 000l tanks for $100. I only asked for one but he couldnt get them seperated so just gave me both!! Any ideas on how to get them apart?? He suggested putting water between the two and floating the inside one out.
He also has a few of these 8000L tanks left for $800 each which come with waterco pump, bio filter and protein skimmer plus all the req pipe work.
Anyone interested in getting themselves a big tank PM me and I will forward you the details.

How come you get 10000L tanks for $100... and we get 8000L tanks for $800.... :lol:

Try rolling the two tanks on their sides... jimmying one from the other as you roll...

Or have you already tried that??

How come all the Barra guys are closing Trouty??

Rup, I ended up getting 4 tanks off the guy plus filters, nets etc etc. The two 10 000L tanks were both slightly damaged so he just wanted to move them I think. I thought $100 was a steal though.
There 3.6m in diameter so a bit hard to roll and on my property if they started rolling I'd probably never see them again!!
This guy did it for 8 years and just recons he has had enough of being tied down to the property and keeping fish tends to do that.

The guy has a truck and may be able to deliver them to Perth. He delivered them to my place and those 10 000L tanks are 3.6m wide so he had to have an escort with overwidth signs etc. The 8000L tanks are only 2.9m wide by 1220 high so all of that wouldnt be necessary. They are flat bottomed and made of fibreglass.

C'mon OBO there only 2.9m wide, surely you have a spot somewhere left in your yard where one will fit.

Hey jpcw, I am in Mandurah and might be interested in sharing costs. Do you have any idea of what they may be and are these tanks still available.
Cheers
