LF: CO2 Regulator, Skimmer, Corals

[Jet Black]

Looking for a regulator for a 5lb tank. I realize this is the most expensive and most important piece of equipment for a calcium reactor, but I'm still hoping not spend a boat load. I'm not too knowledgable with these other then everyone points to a $300 electric one. I'm not in a super hurry but because some one donated one to me I would like to be able to use it, any information or offers are welcome!

Also looking for a smaller skimmer, I'm hoping to use my Reef Octopus XS160 but it makes planning difficult. Any recommendations or offers on a like new skimmer rated for a 75 gallon tank would be great. Open to trades for the RO but I'm not in a hurry.

Also I will be in need of corals! Really looking for LPS for my tank and anything for the school tanks.

Got an Asm G1 over here Justin. If it fits your needs. Was the one running everything when you were here. Not sure what it's rated for. 140 I think or maybe just 100. Good skimmer though.

Right now the skimmer is the lowest on my priority list, just wanting to start leads so Ill let you know.

The problem is that it is about 24" tall and all the containers that I've found stop at 23.5" inside dimensions.

I'm also not necessarily only looking to buy the reactor controller local, also looking for suggestions.

Have 2 recently acquired regulators over here Justin. Both are electronic but one is the $300 aquarium plants.com that you are probably talking about. The other is a nice one I just don't know the brand name. Has an M on the regulator knob. May be Milwaukee but not sure. As soon as I figure out how to verify if both fully function I will let you have the other one for a great price/trade.

 

[Jet Black]

Thanks! I'm not sure if I have anything to trade other then my skimmer but I can do cash.

Debating weather or not to get a smaller skimmer or have a stand box made, I keep looking and getting frustrated.

Still looking for LPS and softies, I know you guys want to convert me to SPS but I'll need the regulator before I feel like I can handle any more.

Justin - no worries about me trying to convert you to colored sticks! You and General Toaster should come for a visit sometime soon. I'm sure I have some zoas for you and your school tank.

Have tons of softies and such I'm getting rid of for cheap, feel free to come check them out. Things that I have double of, selling for dirt cheap, example: sold colony of 60+ heads of eagle eye zoas for $20
I'm going sps, so keeping limited amount of softies and lps. Lots I gotta move. I'll donate stuff to your school tank too if u guys want some corals.

 

[Jet Black]

Jthao sent you a pm, not sure if you got it. Still looking for leads to good LPS and softies.

I remeasured and the calcium reactor is actually about the same height as the skimmer so I'll be keeping it. Greenhead, I'm still interested in a trade/cash, just have to see what I have.

I'm having an incredibly hard time finding something that suits my needs for my sump box idea. I'm not sure how much it would cost to have a chest type box made to order, the only wood working tools I have are my hands and a dremel tool.

Justin between me and Jeff I am sure we can build you something cool.

That would be sweet! I could give you money for beer or pizza. Don't know why but I always get stuck with some weird dimensions that aren't flexible or standardized. I've only been able to find one thing that would be minimal at best.
