I have a ton of stuff from when I shut my tanks down a few years ago. I thought perhaps I'd restart at some point, but my wife and I have decided to move out of state before long so I need to clear out a bunch of stuff. I know people do not want to buy in bulk, but if someone wants to give me $500 I could assure you that you would be getting several times that worth of goods that you could resell individually for a profit.

  • Bluewave 7 - Metal Halide Ballast w/cords (new - no box)
  • 2 250W electronic ballasts - pretty sure one doesn't work though
  • Small Euroreef Skimmer
  • 18" Geo Kalk Reactor
  • Large 2 chamber calcium reactor w/Probe port (custom made- no brand, in parts but can be put back together)
  • Liter Meter 3 (probably needs new tubing)
  • Various small tanks some drilled some not (5-7)
  • Hole Saws and Glass Drill Bits
  • Chemicals and Additives
  • Reeflo Dart Pump
  • Filter housings
  • Large RO/DI setup with TDS meter w/refillable cartridges. Most require new media.
  • 55 gallon water barrel with sight tube
  • 250W Single Metal Halide pendant/Ballast
  • Home made canopy for in wall 48" tank. Made to be suspended. Not finished for looks
  • Quite a few MH reflectors Luminarc / Luminarc Mini
  • 14G Nano
  • Refractometer (might be broken)
  • PAR Meter
  • Several Tunze Power Heads
  • Water Top Off
  • Overflow boxes
  • Pinpoint Ph Meter
  • 1/5HP Open Compressor Chiller (ugly and needs to be out of sight)
  • Lots of PVC fittings and tubing (some glued but could cut/reuse)
  • many misc pumps, heaters, nets, gloves, tongs, frag stuff
  • Might have some bulbs and whatnot that may or may not still be usable.

I know that I have a bunch of stuff I'm not remembering right now that will be included.

I believe most of what I have is in working condition. There are likely things that are not or not in prime condition. Where possible you can test, where not the equipment is "as-is". With the exception of the Bluewave ballast everything has been used at some point.

If interested PM me and I would be happy to let you look through it to decide if you want to buy the lot or make offers on individual pieces. Obvious preference would be to put it into someone's trunk and be done with it.

If I end up selling significant pieces from the lot, then the price might slide some but I'm not quite ready or willing to just give it all away. Given that some of the items are good quality and fairly costly, I think this is a pretty good deal and I hope someone will save me from the hassle of parting it out.

The cache is located in Naperville. I am around most days and evenings so I can be pretty flexible about scheduling. I do ask that people show up when they say that they are going to though.

One last thing. If you feel you must offer some sort of criticism - do me a favor and do it in a PM. I don't want to debate anything related to this post in the forum.

Thanks - Phil
 
I have a couple. The Dart if you need a big pump and then 1 or 2 smaller that are either external only or sealed power heads that can be run internal or external.

The stuff is all in boxes, buckets and crates in the crawl space. It would be a project to go rummaging around to find specific parts. If someone is interested enough to come look at it, I'll pull it all out so that it can all be looked at and touched and tried where possible.
 
Also, two things. I you are interested in [whatever], please PM me. I would like to conduct the business of this in PM and not in the main thread. I will add items as I find them and remove things that are sold. If I get a taker for the lot, I'll have the thread closed. If you are interested in a particular item and you are only willing to offer up to $X for it, you should share that. If you ask me the price and I give it you and and you counter for 1/2 or less, you might want substantiate why you think my price is too high. If I agree I may meet your offer or counter. But low balling is just bad manners and depending on my state of mind, I may or may not continue to work with you.

I want to be agreeable, but parting out and haggling over everything is time consuming and a lot of aggravation.
 
Here is a link to the photos of what I think is everything that I have. If you can't figure out what something is, just ask. Now that it's out and accessible I can more easily answer questions about what I still have.

I put the prices for what I what is in the pics in the the titles. I think that should make it easier. I will mark items that are sold on the titles in Photobucket.
