Complete 180g Starphire w/ custom stand/canopy FULL SET UP

I had this up a few weeks ago, had a deal going but buyer backed out last minute. So back up for sale. Wanted to post a new thread because the other one was too cluttered with other tanks.

180g (72x24x24) Visio/Leemar (will confirm with original owner) Starphire glass tank. 1/2" glass, heavy beast. Corner Overflows. Has a custom stand and canopy. REAL wood, looks to be birds eye maple. The stand is built like a tank and really tall. It sits about 42" tall, will get exact measurements tomorrow.
The tank is in great condition. minimal scratches, but can't see when filled. Stand and canopy are also in great shape. no water damage or anything. May need some new hinges in the stand due to rust, that's about it. But I can give buyer some that I've already bought, just havnt replaced yet.
Since I've had it, I've reapplied some wood sealant on the outside and inside. Also applied silicone on the inside to make it water tight, so now if theres a leak, the bottom of the stand will hold at least 5gallons or more of water.

Now I'm including enough equipment to make this a turn key system. ALL the buyer needs now is fish and corals. Items below are included in the package:
-Glass sump custom built
-Reef octopus extreme200 ($200 used) with a new upgrade sicce psk-2500 w/ large red devil needle wheel and venturi ($122 by itself!!)
-Mag 12 Return Pump
-Retrofit 4x80W HO T-5s in the canopy (canopy also has fans built into it)
-Live sand (dried) enough for this tank, needs to be rinsed
-120LBS+/- Dry live rock, football, and soccer ball size
-Couple of the larger Koralia pumps for water movement.

Buyer needs only fish and corals, and of course salwater.... This system as it sits, can be ran once all plumbing is hooked up. And with all included equipment, it will easily sustain and keep all fish and corals (sps excluded) alive and thriving. Again... A really good upgrade for someone with an existing tank, and an even better deal for someone getting into the hobby which they don't need to have to worry about piecing together a tank. All equipment, I believe, are good equipment, nothing low end, most of which are used by the average reefer daily.

ALL THIS for $1050. pm if interested.
ONLY $150 more than my previous asking price of just tank/stand/canopy.
Will still sell for $900 obo (little negotiable) for tank/stand/canopy if someone doesn't want all the above stuff.

I have the following light for the buyer of this tank to purchase as an option (at a discounted price). Will sell separately as well..
Current OUter Orbit AIO lighting fixture 3x250w DE, 8x36w T-5s, and all ballasts: originally $1600 new... I'll sell it to buyer of this package for $300

Deal fell through again, back up for sale....

Correction/addition to original posting:
Return pump will be swapped to a mag 18, I believe this will work better for 180g dt
Skimmer is all cleaned and ready to go, skims well and really quiet too
Sump is a custom 60g glass with baffles making 4 sections; overflow into small section, then into skimmer section, then into refugium section, then through baffles into return pump section. Sump is roughly 48x16x18. Pretty nice sump.
The stand and canopy are really really nice, the pics don't do it justice, must see in person to appreciate the quality of the stand and canopy.
FYI: this was originally a display tank at Youreef. Those that know john, knows that this set up have to be a nice set up or else he wouldn't use it as a display tank in his store.

Price lowered to $950 for everything with the exception of orbit light; which I will sell to buyer of this set up for dirt cheap, $250!
Need this gone!!!
Willing to separate; tank/stand/canopy only for $750!
Free delivery to your front door anywhere in sacramento area!!
 
Thanks Anthony, it really is a nice tank. I think it's a great deal for a complete custom set up. It will definitely cost someone a lot more $$ to piece together a system like this.

Again, this is a turn key complete system, everything included to start a nice reef tank. All you'll need is saltwater and livestocks.
 
If anyone is interested at all, pm me and I'm sure we can work something out, I need this gone.
I may even be down for some partial trades.
 
Ok... Need to move this tank so parting it out:
Tank/stand/canopy: $600
Tank only: $400
Stand and canopy only $300 (very nice professionally built furniture grade)
60g custom glass sump 48x16x16 w/4 sections: $100
Reef Octopus extreme 200 w/ new sicce psk2500 pump $180
100lbs dry live rock mixed softball to football size: $70

Everything above for $900, for buyer of complete set up, I'll throw in free mag 18 + 4x80w t5 retro kit.
 
Let's make the complete set up $850, that's for everything....
$850 for a complete turnkey 180g starphire glass set up.... All the buyer needs is saltwater and livestocks... I'll even give buyer 10-20lbs cured live rock to seed the dry rocks.

John: tanks only about a mile from your place bro, very easy move, I'll even bring it to your driveway for you ;)

BTW: all the equipment are OBO, only thing firm is the tank stand canopy; they're already at a very low price. So if anyone is interested in any of the equipment above, shoot me a reasonable offer.
