New member
I have decided to get out of the hobby, and I'm selling my up and running 225 gal. reef. I'm flexible on the price, have a lot of new and extra equipment. Would like it to go to as a complete system and not part out. Just have too many other needs to focus on right now. PM or e-mail me and I can send you a complete decription. Thanks, Karl
 
Price and Info.

Price and Info.

Tanks has: 300lbs live Univia and Figi rock, ETSS pro 800 skimmer pushed by a Mag 18, central overflow with 2-1" drains and 1-1" return, New Sedra Model20000P-2000GPH
Return pump, 300 lbs Southdown sand.Custom hood hinges off the back of tank supported by 2 gas springs to almost 90degrees for access to tank. Right now lighting is 2-Ice cap 660's pushing 3-5' Vho's daylight and 3-5' Vho's actinics. I am in the process of adding another 660 and switching the Vho's to Gieseman T5's That include 4-3' Actinic+, 4-3' Aqua Blue+ and 4-3' Midday tubes all with Ice cap Reflectors and Ice Cap sockets and Standoffs. The lights have only 1 minute of test time and are mounted on a aluminum skeleton frame so I can remove current VHO's and install new light system as a completed unit and plug it in.The light upgrade was $700.00 for the bulbs, sockets and reflectors.The lights are controlled by electronic timers in the hood. 6 Blue 180 degree LED dimmable moon lights on electronic timer. 4 Maxi jet 1200's with Sure Grip magnetic brackets are on timers on the hood with 2 maxis that have mods on them. 2 Rio 1700's on mechanical switches in tank for additional flow. Tank drains into a 40 gal. breeder in Perfecto Stand. A 10 gallon fuge feeds from sump. Tank was purchased in 2003 used and is a 1997 Perfecto. The plastic center supports were broken and removed. The tank was Euro braced with 2- 1/2" thick x 8" wide glass braces that run front to back. The new to rim was custom made from clear pine casing using West System Epoxy that has wood braces running front to back as well. There is Zero deflection of the glass as a result of the reinforcement.The inside of the upper wood rim and braces were covered in custom bent white vinyl and caulked in with all-glass clear silicon.The existing plastic bottom rim was also covered by wood so no plastic was left exposed. All new wood and hood were stained to match existing stand.
Animals include 1 Pr. GSM Clowns that spawn constantly, 4" Purple Tang. Flame Hawk, Longnose Hawk, 5-Large Blue-Green Chromis, Midas Blenny, Cannary Blenny, Six line Wrasse in Main display.

There is much more equipment that I'll have to add to the list.
There are some small scratches on glass and wood.
I would like to get $2,000.00 for the everything, but is negotiable. I can e-mail you pictures if you want. Sorry to be so long winded, just trying to give you an accurate description .Feel free to call me at 216-598-5959 or e-mail at Kkost4@sbcglobal.net .

Forgot to mention: Medusa PCH-300 Controller. Controls 1200 watts of heater and up to 1/2 hp chiller to within on tenth of a degree. 2-Ebo 250 watt, 1 Visi therm 300 watt and 1-Won Titianium 350 watt heaters. Pinpoint PH meter with Cal fluids. Extra Mag 9.5, 2 extra Rio 1700's, 2 extra Aqua Medic dosing pumps, Bionic doser w/air pumps. I'm sure the list will grow as I get over "Snowblower Brain". Karl

If I decide to part out, Throwinroost89 and useskaforevil will be first in line.
 
Yeah, if you do decide to part out there are a bunch of equipment things I'd be interested in. Hope you can find a full buyer though, be much easier for you.
 
Karl,
Sorry that you are getting out of the hobby. I would be interested in pirchasing all of your LR and LS if it comes down to you parting out your system.

Update & more equip.

Pictures of system in gallery. Thank you for your help, Brad Black! More to come. Also forgot to mention Ro/Di with all new filters including 90 gallon/day membrane. 55 gallon Perfecto that needs work and 29 that would be a good quarintine. Red Sea H.O.T. skimmer, 55 gallon water change container. Still more to come
 
Went and saw the tank, man this thing is immaculate in every way. Karl definitely erred on the side of caution when posting about the condition of this tank and set-up. For those looking for a large tank this is it. The way he bolstered the strength of the top is very clean and effective. I only wish I could spare the loot but unfortunately I can't.
Sorry Karl.
Just so all who read this know, Karl knows how to keep a clean system. At least check it out. I added up eveything he is selling and it is worth a hell of a lot more even used than he is asking for the whole set-up.
Good luck Karl.
 
Thanks Brad Black. It's people like you that make this hobby great! Have had a lot of people interested in the tank. I have to admit, I'll miss it. Karl:(
 
If you like that check out how Mike (cleveyank) saved the day mon for ben, who was out of town (the emergency thread). It's just like we were saying the other day Karl, great bunch we got here!
