For sale: 75G Complete system

[Runner]

I just broke down my tank and started cleaning everything out. It was sad to see all that small life get flushed down the driveway when I hosed down the tank. I'll take some pics of the parts of my system and post them after I clean them up tomorrow.

Sorry about the final teardown, I'm sure its rather disheartening... but at the same time I am sure your wife is happy and you will be soon with that guitar in your posession.

You end up bringing the hawk and gramma to CR???

 

[Runner]

Nope. It was sad, too, watching them swim away down the driveway. I hope they found a drain to the ocean.


(Actually, Art said he'd take them if nobody else bought them)

 

[ct_vol]

lol I think throwing them in a pot on the stove and watching them boil might have been faster...

I cleaned up some stuff last night and took pics. Here is a list with breakdowns on everything and some new pricing. Local pick prices will be less than the shipped price. Please ask if interested, but local pickup for the MH kit is $30 less than shown and everything else is generally $5~$15 less.

*Bulbs not included, but see the link below for options. Bulbs can be added for a $5 discount for shipping savings.
*Wiring is needs to be terminated, but for an extra $10, I will buy a 5-conductor power cable and cord grips and attach the ballast box to the retrofit kit conduit with a flexible cord so that no electrical experience will be needed to install this (unless you need to un-terminate the cord at the terminal strip to feed it through an small opening in your tank/hood).
*Fans not included, but for an extra $20, I will also leave the fans in the package (the wiring is already there for them to come on when each bulb comes on).

I just got home and cleaned/inspected the Mag 12 pump. I am dropping the price to $60 shipped -- $15 off will cover the cost of a new impeller if needed. This pump is actually older than 3-1/2 years because I used it for 3-1/2 years on my freshwater tank before that (I mail-ordered it from PetSolutions about 7 years ago). The impeller was replaced about 3 years ago. While this pump works strongly while submersed, I wouldn't try it out of the water -- a screw on one side and another on the nozzle (2 out of 6) spin rather than tighten down once you seat them. There is a slight skipping sound when the pump moves water, too, indicating that an impeller replacement (~$15) could be within a year. Then again, it could just be settling back in after I cleaned it for the first time in a while. Here is a picture I just took:

Local cost: $45

Also, I have taken a picture of the back of my tank to give a better perspective:

MH kit, Iwasakis, and fans confirmed sold and shipping. Old Ushio bulbs spoken for.

Also, to answer a question I received on information I should have posted:
30G Sump/Refugium: $75
The 30G tank dimensions are 20-1/2" High by 13" Wide by 36-1/4" Long. The baffles hold the water depth to about 13" deep in the entry section (where I had my skimmer) and the middle section (where I had a sand bed and macro-algae).
