FS: Solana and LED fixture

I have a Solana 34g AIO and LED fixture for sale. I'm willing to sell them separate, but preference goes to the person who buys the tank. I would like the tank sold before the lights are sold. Also, I would like to sell these next week at the latest as I'll will be out of town for a while after that. Can also bring to the meeting.

Current-USA Solana 34g AIO: $300
Includes: Espresso Stand, pump, stock skimmer, and the other little parts that come with it. Will also include a mounted American DJ Switch Panel. A little bit about the stand... when I got it, the top was warped. However, I added foam strips to the the top and have run the tank for over 2 years with no problems.

DIY Led fixure: $250 or $500 for both the tank and lights.
This was a light fixture I made about a year ago. There is about 8 months of use. It has 24 3w Cree XR-E of RB/CW 50/50 mix and is driven by 2 Meanwell non-dimmable drivers. Also includes a 50/50 mixture of 40 and 60 degree optics. I was able to get PAR of about 300-400 (midtank) and 150-250 (bottom of tank).

I will be honest and want to pass on the best information to fellow hobbyists. After building this fixture, it was later found out that using RB/CW LEDs only doesn't cover enough of the lighting spectrum. There can be fading of coral color. This can be solved by adding supplimental lighting or adding a few other LED colors to increase the spectrum. Send me a PM if you want more info. Other than that, it's a great fixture and I haven't had any problems with it.

Where is all your livestock? You aren't getting out are you Donny? Would hate to see another old timer loose the Bug, So to speak.

Definitely not Bill. I'm in it for the long haul :lmao: I just wanted to downsize as I've been so busy lately. The livestock are in a 10g tank for now.
 
Is it good for softies and zoo's? My sister was wanting to get started with a little small sw tank and an aio system would be perfect. This would fit in her room perfect. The aio does it have a pretty good skimmer?

As a Former Solana Owner the Stock Skimmer is actually better than the So Called Upgrade that they no longer even sell! This is a great tank for any level hobbiest and they work as good or better than any AIO on the market right out of the Box.
If i were you I would Grab this as I sold mine for 800.00 sooo this is a deal with Led's to boot!
JMHO

Well I have to talk to the finance department. It is a starter tank for Brittany that you met yesterday...I am sure she would reimburse me for it as she works for us when Chris is away and she does a really good job and is a reliable good person, it's just the thing that its money that isn't circulating around in this hobby in a super awesome economy, not.(lol)
 
Jennifier - the system would be great for softies and zoos. I was actually keeping sps. She may want to take some of the optics off if she only wants softies. Bill is right, the stock skimmer was actually pretty good compared to others. I ran a modded mesh wheel on it that I made from a maxi jet.
 
I use one for my ponies. Grow safties and sps monti
Great all in one tank. And for a good price.
