Hello!
Though I haven't been to a meeting in years (and only a handful of the folks in the club may still remember me), I wanted to post this here for awhile before I expand to Craigslist, etc. in hopes that someone in the club will be interested...
I recently switched to LEDs, and I'm getting rid of my current light set-up.
It is a 48" Coralife system - 2 x 250W MH and 2 x 96W actinic, 6 years old but still working fine. In addition, I have old-school mechanical timers for each light, as well as a complete set of unused replacement bulbs for the set-up (2 Hamilton 250W 14K MH bulbs, and two Hamilton 96W 420nm/460nm bulbs).
I haven't looked at current prices in awhile, but a set-up like this (esp. with the set of bulbs involved) would probably be $600-$800(?)... but I'm not hoping to get anything close to that! I mainly just want to see it out of my house and put to good use somewhere else - make me a non-insulting offer, and it's yours!!
On a similar note, if you (or someone you know) is looking to get into the hobby, I have three tanks in the 50-90(75?) gallon range sitting in my storage area that I'd love to get rid on the same "easy" terms.
To be honest, they've been in storage for a few years now and I'm not sure exactly what their dimensions are, but if you're interested in getting into a mid-size tank for cheap, two of them have custom built stands and canopies (plus lighting), and one of them is just a plain old bowfront tank (no stand, etc.).
And, finally, as part of getting my current tank all cleaned up, I pulled a bunch of smaller live rocks and rubble from the tank - I've got two 5 gallon buckets 2/3 full of pieces that range from marble size up to small fist size - as well as few larger dead acro skeletons (if you like to use those for aquascaping). Would be happy to trade for frags and/or just give away for free if you're interested.
Reply here or send a PM if there's something you'd like to ask about!
Thanks!
