w/out knowing all the details, this looks to be a pretty good deal if anyone is interested.
im sure someone here already has checked it out.

2k for a complete custom 220 setup is a great deal.

That is a good deal.. My wife would kill me if I get another tank ..

Alex. I think you should do that. 220g is an easy to manage size, even for a cross bay commuter like you.

 

[reefer on a budget]

haha...still large. if it was about half the size and reshaped into a cube then there would be a slim possibility.

 

[tacocat]

Don't do a cube Alex. I think tangs fair better in longer tanks.

has anyone called? if so, do you know what the dimensions are?

 

[nasotang]

I think the dimensions are in the post.

"220 gallon Starfire Glass Reef Tank * Custom Made Tank & Stand Tank-33"d X 59"w x 24"h....With stand-41"d x 60"w x 74"h."

The poster just added that info.

dang i wish i was in the market. insta reef for less then iv'e put in my 55

That setup has been on craiglist on and off for a year. I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet as the seller has brought down the price many times already.

 

[wsun083]

has anyone checked this out yet?

 

[reefer on a budget]

if its been on CL for awhile and has not been sold yet that probably means something about the tank is deterring ppl from buying it. i guess if its too good to be true it probably is.

 

[Lordhelmet]

they probably forget to mention that th bottom panel is cracked:lol:

 

[wsun083]

so do any of you think this could be too good to be true? i was gonna pick this up, and i'm coming from SB. but now you all have me wondering... it'd be a shame to drive that far and rent a uhaul for nothing.

 

[reefer on a budget]

well u gotta wonder why its been around for long. must be somethign the selling is holding back. id request as many pics as possible then decide if its worth the chance. a crack would be an obvious deal breaker.

 

[wsun083]

i wonder what his previous price listings were? maybe it was just too much?

 

[tacocat]

A friend of mine called on it. It's three years old and has a single scratch on the side panel.

 

[wsun083]

yeah, i called too. one single scratch doesn't seem like a big deal to me. w/ all that equipment, sounds like a great deal. again, i jus tdon't want to make the drive and be disappointed.

 

[nashorn]

How much do you guys think I could resell all that equipment for if I just wanted the tank and stand?

 

[reefer on a budget]

Sumps consist of a 60 gallon filter box (skimmer sits inside) -20 gallon refugium
-30 inch Euro Reef Skimmer CS 12-2 with dual Sedra Pumps
-(4) 250 Watt Metal Halide Moguls 10,000K's, parabolic reflectors
-PFO HQI Ballast
-(4) 96 Watt attinics
-LED Moonlight System by Lunar Tracker
-Tunze 6100 Streamer Power Head, Tunze 2002 Turbelle, controlled by a Tunze 7094 Multi Controller Oak cabinet with Cherry inlay, Euro hinges, piano top that is removable, flush mounted doors and trim

with all that equipment, u might even recover half of what u bought the whole setup for. tunzes are pretty easy to sell so just that alone ur looking around 200-250. the euro u might be able to sell for around 400-600. i dunno what the going rate is for euro's these days but i know the cs12s are bank brandnew.

i have bad news guys, i have my movers going to the guys house as i type this out to pickup the setup. i guess i may not be taking a long break afterall.
