36G Saltwater Reef - Complete Setup: Fish, Coral, Supplies, & Bonuses
My wife and I are expecting our own real-life Nemo (newborn baby) and are now looking to completely sell our saltwater reef tank. The tank has been stable for well over 2 years running efficiently on tap water (dechlorinated via Prime) with happy fish and healthy coral growth. The setup is simple with HOB filters, T5 HO lights, and a DIY refugium containing Chaetomorpha (to reduce nitrates). If you're interested, please message me. I've put more than $1,800 into the tank setup, livestock, and coral - this is a great deal for a complete setup!
Total Price: $650
- My location is downtown San Francisco. It's expected that you manually pickup reef setup and move on your own. I'm happy to help take down the setup.
