Getting out of hobby selling everything!!

Brad Black

In Memoriam
Hey all,
I wish it wasn't so but I am getting out of the hobby and am therefor selling everything. I have accumulated quite a lot over the years and it all needs to go ASAP. I will make every effort to get this sold this week, and definitely by Christmas.
Mostly everything is already broken down already and ready for transport (you pickup preferably). I just can't afford the hobby any longer. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT LATE ADDITION GIFT FOR YOU AND ME! I would like to sell it all in one-shot of coarse, but we all know how that goes. Therefor I will be offering the entire setup for one price, and then begin PARTING OUT just before Christmas. Also being that I need the cash fast please feel free to make offers on all or part of the setup. PLEASE don't make insulting offers as you will be ignored (or cussed out). PM or email.

WILL ADD PICS AND THINGS I FORGOT AS WE GO, AND WILL ADD UPDATES WHEN THINGS SELL. PLEASE FORGIVE ME IN ADVANCE IF I SEEM TO BE IGNORING YOU I HAVE A FULL PLATE, DON'T WORRY I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ASAP!

Also have cooling fans for t-5's.
-All needed timers and cording harnesses

FRAG TANK (@ 200-225? gal) 8' long x 16" high x 24" wide (approx)
-is drilled with several bulkheads and overflows (but may need more bulkheads depending on how it's set up. I got it from a pet store going out of business and I think it might have been a turtle tank or something at one time (It has a good amount of scratches as a result-they will prolly buff out, but it was to sit in my basement as a frag tank so scratches didn't really matter much to me).
-it is huge and perfect for the would-be fragger-awesome tank

12 gal nano cube (complete setup) HAS siliconed crack in one side WILL NOT LEAK
-lights CF 50/50 48w
-powerhead
-filter medium (sponges, etc)
-currently running I used this tank primarily for the fragswaps (because of the crack)

29 gal (was mt QT tank)
-has a standard N.O. light with it


****Live rock/sand****
-200-250lbs LR (has been stored in ribbermaid containers in SW for last month or two (after being removed from display so it is still live although I had a majanjo prob for the last several months)
-size ranges from very large (20-30-lbs) to very small and everything in between, lots of very nice display pcs (NO BASEROCK IN HERE AT ALL) with lots of purple.
-SAND- 200 or more lbs of a mix (crushed and fine white I think)


****RO/DI and storage****
- RO/DI sys that has old cartridges (maybe some time left, but still is making water of less than 005-010ppm with TDS test the last time it produced several months ago)

-top-off controlled (pressure-valve type) water storage container (60 gal?) rubbermaid

LIGHTING DETAILS:

retrod into canopy (shape of canopy is 1/2 hex thus the differing bulb sizes):
* all of the canopy bulbs have almost 1 year of use *
2 IC 660 (one works, the other needs repair which IC is great about)
4-54w super actinic w refectors
2-80w mid day 6000 (with reflectors)
1-80w aquablue (with reflector)
so if you do the math thats 456 total watts (not even counting how bulbs are being overdriven by ballasts)
This system is screwed into slats for easy removal/transport if you don't buy canopy (tank setup)

extra bulbs:
* extra bulbs all have little to no use on them (purchased new and used when building system)*
1-80w aquablue
2-54w aquable
2-54w actinic white
1-extra reflector(new)
2-extra WP endcaps (with standoffs)

1- mechatronics 115v fan, never used (IC knockoff)

VHO 4 used t-12 bulbs (free for whatever, may still have old t-12 endcaps somewhere too)
 
Np buddy, thanks for letting me come out late. Hope your situation gets better, let me know when u get back into the hobby, I'll give ya a bunch of frags
 
Brad - i the frag tank still available? We spoke abou it before but you dissapeared for a while and never responded. Price? Is delivery possible? I'm not sure it's safe to stick out the rear window of my little Jeep.
 
interested in the extra bulbs - both the T5's (54 watt= 48 inch) and the VHO's ( depending on the size of them - looking for 46.5 inch size) , may be the fan and who knows what else when I get there. Need prices on the bulbs, fan, etc.
