Yeah... When I set this thing up, that was under the expectation that I would not move again until I was old and gray. So much for that. Looks like instead I am relocating to Edinburgh, Scotland, with my company â€" 1-ton fish tank not included. This tank has been running since August 2006.
Per the usual protocol, initially this is only for sale as a package deal. If (when) that doesn't happen, I will part out.*
*The only possible exception is the fish. It's important to me to find them a good home... so if someone is really looking for a very happy, healthy specimen of one of the below & has good conditions for them, PM me.
Complete setup: $3000
LIVE STUFF
All of these fish are vibrant and active -- who wouldn't be with the 7 of them having the run of the tank?

NOT-LIVE STUFF
All-Glass 180-gallon tank w/dual overflows. Tank is 6' long x 2' high x 2' wide.
Custom-made stand & canopy. Stand and canopy were custom-built to my specs by a talented professional carpenter. They are made of solid walnut, finished with a clear finish to show the natural beauty of the walnut. Every inch was hand-made, even the trim and cabinet doors. The stand is 36" tall; I think the canopy is 14" tall, high enough to comfortably accommodate metal halide lighting. This stand and canopy are my pride and joy; they are beautiful! There are 4 x Panaflow fans installed in canopy (wired together to variable current adapter). The canopy opens at the front and the back and has a sliding feeder door at either end.
3 x 250-watt DE ReefOptix III pendants w/Icecap electronic ballasts. (3 x Phoenix 14k bulbs, in use since Aug 2006)
Icecap 2-bulb x 24" VHO retro kit (actinic bulbs in use since Oct 2006)
Lebos.com 3-light moonlight system w/dimmer. This was never used, new in box.
100-gallon Rubbermaid stock tank for sump. I have this in my basement, plumbed up to the tank through the wall.
ASM G3 protein skimmer
Iwaki MD100RLT return pump. I bought this used, and it could probably use a good cleaning, but it is an absolute beast and a workhorse.
Typhoon III 5-stage RO/DI unit
Refractometer
TDS meter
4 x Maxi-Jet 1200 powerheads
Miscellaneous:
Heaters
Test kits
Plumbing
Filter socks
Food
Medicine
Timers for lights
2 x power strips w/individual power switches (VERY handy!)
2 x 44-gallon Brute trashcans
1 x 32-gallon Brute trashcan
Quarantine setup:

Iron stand
Eheim power filter
Aquaclear powerhead

) This is actually ~160# of rock, from various sources. A lot of cool shapes and swim-throughs, several with softies growing here and there. I do not have a scale and will not sell smaller batches.
