Hi GUys

Well, my 180g project is moving along so I am going to see if anyone wants to buy my current set up. No livestock will be sold, except for maybe some nassarius snails (going barebottom).

Here is a list of what will be for sale:

120gal eurobraced starphire (30x30x30in)... center overflow, 4 bulkheads for returns, two on either side of the overflow. Not sure who built the tank, but I know the original owner said it cost him $1300 to have the tank alone custom made. Custom made stand and canopy, canopy has piano hinge face (You can see some pics in my gallery or pm me for me to email them to you). The tank unfortunately does have some scratches from those damn mag float algae scprapers...but depending on how anal you are about your tank, they arent noticeable to any non-reefer who has viewed my tank...

Custom Sump made by SoCalCreations...think it measures 23.5x16x16inches...baffles to separate skimmer and refugiums sections. Cost me $250 to get it custom made.

$900 obo for tank,stand, canopy, and sump.

Aquacontroller Jr.... backlit version...temp sensor only, no DC8, no pH probe. $100obo

GenX pcx 55 rated at 1140gph pressure rated pump. Excellent condition... $125 obo

ASM G1x protein skimmer... excellent thick green foam producer... collection cup has a crack, but its leak proof, just cosmetic flaw......
$125obo

2x24w sunlight supply T5HO retro with endcaps, standoffs, individual reflector for each bulb, triad ballas, 3 blue plus bulbs, one brand new, other 2 are used for about 6months... $120 obo

I also have 2 150w Ebo Jager heaters for sale... $10 each obo

If you want a package deal together , let me know.... system can be a SWEET set up if done right....If I did it again, I would set up the 4 returns as a closed loop, and then have a slower return pump feeding the sump via overflow to minimize microbubbles, more efficient skimming, and keep pod population happier.

I am just gauging some interest for now...but once I know when my new tank will arrive, I can start the sale.

Let the selling begin :)

Here are some photos of the tank , sump , skimmer, etc...

The canopy has a piano hinge, so that is why it looks like canopy has no front, but it is actually liften up for this picture.

This is pic of the eurobrace..YES IT IS a eurobrace, eventhough you see black trim...black trim is for looks, but tank is eurobraced.

I noticed the check valve you used . I was considering the same valve. How did it work for you . Flow restrictive? Recomendations?
