Dropping prices on all items as interest kinda tapered off. I am willing to consider any fair and reasonable offers, especially for multiple items. I have been extremely busy the last few days but I will try to reply as often as possible.
180g AGA tank - $300
Good condition. Back is painted black. No overflow. Fail-proof pvc siphon overflow and some misc plumbing and stuff included. Have a float switch for a few bucks.
Custom 180g stand - $75-125
73x25x40, pics in gallery. Will fit a 125g inside so plenty of space for sump/equipment. Has sliding racks for hanging/moving lights. Unfinished oak skin sticks on with magnets. Can be finished and stained to match your room. Cost depends on if you are getting the 180g tank or any other equipment. The wood alone was like $400 and it's very well built so at a certain point I'd convert it to a work bench.
Custom Recirc Wetnet Skimmer - $275
Roughly based on euroreef rc-250. Relatively easy to dial in, skims well and requires very little cleaning or maintenance. It needs to be level and requires a consistent input flow. Anyone with an auto-topoff or really large water volume should be ok but if you have a smaller tank and let your water level go up and down the bubble column (and skimmate consistency) will go with it. Best suited for a large tub-style sump with auto-topoff. Has a Gen-X 6000 recirculating needlewheel pump. It is built with 3/8" cast acrylic and 8" cast acrylic tube and is very strong and well built. It is 28" tall with an 8" tube and is built in 4 layers (because I had to fit it through a 7.75" tall opening). The base is 10.75" by 20" but could be cut down a lot smaller if needed. I left it big because I had the space. It is designed and configured for internal use but the body itself is well sealed and water tight except at the uniseals where the pump and hoses connect. These could be sealed pretty easily and the biggest issue for running this externally is that I THINK the pump has to be run in water for cooling purposes. The various valves and stuff are not glued (since I ran it internal) and could be reconfigured to suit your specific needs.

2x PFO 250w HQI Ballast - $125 each ($180 at PA)
Excellent condition, basically brand new. I also have an old/used 20k radium and 12k reeflux to go with each ballast which could be used for color comparison or temporary/emergency use.
2x OceansMotions Super Squirt - $180 each ($260 new)
Both are wired with long cords/plugs. All connections have unions and I of course still have the plumbing that connected to the other side. Both are quiet and have a extra motor that you could use as a backup or for some other purpose (the first set was abnormally loud so they sent me 2 of the quitest motors that they had as replacements). The drums are version 1 sequential that have been modified to have an extra hole opposite the main drum opening. This diverts a portion of the flow to the opposite port. For example you'll get like 75% output through port 1 and 25% through port 3 and as it rotates this will change to 75% through port 2 and 25% through port 4 and so on. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/...uirtdrumox5.jpg
2x Seio 1500 - $40 each ($70+27 at PA)
Both have tunze-style mountings using large mag-floats (this is why the price is kinda high). These will hold on 1/2" glass but it depends on the angle (my tank gave them additional support due to an overflow baffle). On a tank with thinner glass like a 125g they work great alone. http://img316.imageshack.us/img316/...iomagnet4cl.jpg
AirWaterIce Typhoon III RODI - $135 ($190 new)
Includes everything including the TDS meter. Has a lot of extra tubing and valves and stuff (well over $50 worth). I estimate that the filters and DI are about 2/3 used so there is still a bit of life to them. You will need to get your own supply valve/clamp or faucet adapter to feed the unit as I of course used the supply valve that came with it and can't remove it because it puts a hold in the pipe
Blue RHS-10ATC Refractometer - $30 ($45 at PA)
Not much of interest here, it's just a refractometer. Essentially brand new.
2x 250w and 1x 200w Ebo-Jager heater - $15 each ($23-24 at PA)
Again nothing special. Just some heaters.
40-50ft flexible 1" pvc - $20
Used this for water changes. I don't remember exactly how long this is but it's pretty big. I can measure it if needed. Includes an "iffy" rio hyperflow pump for transfer (moves tons of water and is great but unreliable startup).
