FS 55 Gal Reef with custom sump and stand

[SteveC56]

After some months I have decided to become a one tank man, so I am selling my larger 55 Gal Tank. See profile for some pictures. I will post more later. I would like to keep complete for now.

Hardware:

55 Gal Glass Tank

Custom built stand - 3/4 MDF w/ 4x4 posts and black Laquered (way overkill but very strong, no center post and open back)
Matching Hood

48" 65w PC - 2 10k and 2 blues - 2 months old

Custom Built sump (designed with help from RC members and built by Tap plastics) 1/4 acrylic for walls, euro braced with 3/8
36"W x 16"T x 18"D (divided into 3 12" sections intake/skimmer, return, refuge)

Mag 7 return pump

Life Reef Hang on dual overflow (overkill for 55 gal but I thought I would upgrade) I have never once had a problem with this overflow, because with the Mag 7 it only uses one down spout, leaving the other side for emergency.

With the size of the sump being so large a 1/3 of the main tank could flow back into sump without overflowing. But any siphon that would be causing the backflow would long be broken before that amount of water would enter the sump. But just in case I have a valve on the return plumbing to stop such back flows.


Livestock:

Blue Carpet Anemone 8" across

10" Tall Kenya Tree -pinkish

small pink leather

a dozen sun coral heads on two small rocks

and some small mushrooms blue to purple in color

Liverock:

100+ lbs

refuge: 30 - 40 lbs with chaeto
main tank: 60 - 70 lbs all with great color

2-3" livesand bed ( fine)



$500 for everything listed above

$700 with everything listed above and Euro Reef ES5-3

my bro is interested in setting up a larger tank, he just got a new house so it may be a few months before he can set up a bigger tank, he spoke of getting a 100 gallon but i advised smaller (i gave him my nano cube and i have been taking care of it for him since he is such a newbie) i'll tell him of this deal since its a great one. it cost me $500 to set up my 23 gallon!!!!!

 

[SteveC56]

It was my first tank..(pause for reflection) but it is time to move on. And it has been a great tank for me. Let me know

 

[Blu50Stang]

How much for just the blue carpet?

 

[bkmorris]

i really need some liverock... any way i could get about 15-20 lbs?

 

[fishsoldseprtly]

I need LR as well, lmk how much if you part out.

 

[SteveC56]

I am still trying to get some pictures up. I will let you know in the next couple of days if I am parting out. I have a couple people interested in the whole thing.

 

[lilleahseafreak]

if you part out i am interested in the softies. my bro is not interested in the tank, he wants a bigger tank than a 55, he wants at least a 70 gallon. (heck i guess i should not care, it will be at his house and he is paying for it and wit will be his BUT i am the one who gets to set it up, tend to it and play with it!!!!)

PM sent regarding overflow, could you send pics of that and the sump to shilo_1@yahoo.com when you get a chance, please.

 

[lilleahseafreak]

where in carmichael are you! i live near garfield elmemntary school and i am withing walking distance/between the manzantia shopping center and carmichael park. if you are close enough for me to walk to i can come by and take a look on saturday.

i am interested in the kenya tree, small leather and shrooms.

 

[lilleahseafreak]

man my spelling is horrid


any way i am also interested in some live sand and rock.

i guess even if you are not within walking distance i can still get my older bro to drop me by(id rather walk if i can, i have been walking every sat and sun w/my little sis and our dog to improve my health.) what time of day sat or sun is good for you???

 

[SteveC56]

I live one block down from California and Fair Oaks. I am around most of the day on the weekends loging some quality couch time. The Kenya tree is doing great, the leather has had a rough couple of days with all the moving around but is still well and I have plenty of LR.

You can always call in the evening during the week to see if I am around as well. 916-524-1546

Shilo 1 PM sent, I will try to get pictures but my wife lost the cord to the camera so I will try to get one soon so I can upload those pics for everyone.

 

[shilo_1]

No worries (nice one...blame the wife !)

I definately want the overflow. I'm gonna think on the sump, but if it goes before I decide then no problem.

How many gallons is the skimmer rated for ?
