Octopus Skimmer, 20 gal tank, and misc. stuff for sale

[Peter Eichler]

Octopus NW-150: A little over a year old, has a brand new skimmer cup thanks to my butterfingers, and the pump has only been used for about 8 months since the first one had startup issues. Works great, so well that my upgrade was probably a silly purchase, and comes with an extra needlewheel impeller minus the shaft. $110

Black AGA 20 Gal. long: Was only set up for a few months and then I switched it out for a 30 breeder. No scratches and in great shape. Has some aragonite sand in it and is a little dirty. $15

Oak AGA 65 Gallon with corner overflow. No plumbing... Also has a little sand in it and is pretty scratched up, holds water just fine though and would be good for a prop tank or quarantine tank. $20

HOT Magnum: Used twice for a couple hours. $35

Come get it all for $160

May add a few more things tomorrow....

A few things to add...

Custom Sea Life PC mini retrofits: These have an aluminum reflector with a 27 watt quad bulb and a 9 watt bulb great for a nano or desktop aquarium also good for refugium lighting. You can purchase 6500k 27 watt bulbs at Home Depot for less than $10 and the 9 watt can be purchase in actinic or daylight from various places. The fixture itself is about 9" long. $30 for one with a newer 27 watt bulb and $25 for one with older bulbs.



Tetra Luft Pumps: These are still great air pumps and were THE pump to run protein skimmers back in the day when we used air difussers to make our bubbles. They're also very commonly used with ponds and these were used for skimmers and running sponger filters in fry tanks. They all seem to work just fine, I can test them out with a an old stone to make sure they still have proper pressure. $20 each



Energy Savers Unlimited aka Coralife 48" full hood: 2x175w metal halide and 2x40w fluorescent, fan, black enclosure. The paint is chipping away inside and out so it could use a little work. Ballasts work fine, has MH bulbs but probably nothing you'd want to use for a reef today. Could be a great light with a little TLC and new bulbs. $200



Custom built 36" protein skimmer: Made from acrylic and air driven. Can be placed in sump or outside. Could be fun for a DIY kinda person to mess around with. I think I paid $300 for this several years ago $30 and it's yours.



Vistherm heaters: 2 x 25 watt and 1 x 100 watt. Will make sure they work again but I did go through about 20 heaters not too long ago and threw out the ones that didn't work. The small ones are good for nano or desktop tanks. $5 each



Seio 820: Used for less than a year, has startup problems from time to time like almost all Seios. $25

Whoops, found a couple other things... 2 x 2.5 gallon aquadosers from Kent. $15 each

Finding Nemo Collectors Edition. Still in the package and sealed $15

The only thing wrong with the MH light is aesthetic. The white reflective paint on the inside is flaking off, it could use a fresh coat of black paint on the outside of the hood, and the balast boxes are a bit rusty. Nothing a little elbow grease and spray on rustoleum type products couldn't take care of.

As for the skimmer, it's the model seen here. http://www.fishtanksdirect.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2140 It has been a very good skimmer for me and is in great shape and includes the extra impeller which runs about $20. If you want it for $100 it's yours.
