It's time to sell off the remaining aquarium gear that I have. I originally took the tank down because I was leaving the country for a while and now that I've decided to go again for an extended period I no longer have an excuse to hang on to some of this stuff with the hope of restarting things.
I've tried to make my prices far and my descriptions accurate and honest but I haven't been following this stuff so I may have some mistakes and am open to questions or suggestions about anything.
180g AGA tank - $320
Good condition. No overflow. Back is painted black. Only a few scratches, mostly on the right end or bottom few inches. The front is pretty clean, especially in the mid/upper levels where most tanks are viewed. My egg-crate lids, custom false overflow battle and PVC siphon overflow (the kind that doesn't fail, there is a thread somewhere) would be included. For a little extra I also have an autotopoff float valve (the siphon won't fail but things can still clog an intake!).
125g AGA tank - $120
Good/great condition. No overflow. No major scratches that I can remember but I used it as my sump/refugium and didn't look at it much.
Custom 180g + 125g stand - ???
The stand I built for this setup holds the 180g on top and the 125g inside. It is 40" tall and puts a 180g at a good viewing height for standing or sitting on stools or taller chairs. Constructed with 2x4, 2x6, 3/4" plywood and stainless steel deck screws. Has a canopy (I think 18") that will fit full size Lumenarc reflectors on sliding rails along with a 1ft side box that I used to route/hide plumbing. Also includes 1/4" oak panels that stick on to the front and right side via magnets. These oak panels are UNFINISHED both in terms of stain and construction so depending on your setup this could be a good or bad thing. Everything but the oak skin is painted with that white Killz paint to prevent rotting or mold.
Custom Recirc Wetnet Skimmer - $350
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. http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/5273/skimmer1lf3.jpg http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/56/skimmer3ez3.jpg
2x PFO 250w HQI Ballast - $135 each ($180 at PA)
Excellent condition. I also have an old/used 20k radium and 12k reeflux to go with each ballast. They aren't good for corals anymore but might be useful for color comparison, temporary/emergency use or fish-only.
Aquacontroller Jr (blue) - $210 ($260 at PA)
Includes DC8, backlight, temperature probe, standard PH probe and of course the manual. I can help you to program it if you don't know how.
2x OceansMotions Super Squirt - $200 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/img215/9343/supersquirtdrumox5.jpg
2x Seio 1500 - $50 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/img316/4008/seiomagnet4cl.jpg
AirWaterIce Typhoon III RODI - $150 ($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
2x 250w and 1x 200w Ebo-Jager heater - $16 each ($23-24 at PA)
Again nothing special. Just some heaters.
40-50ft flexible 1" pvc - $25
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.
I have a few other odds and ends like a filter sock, mag-float, test kits, extra salt and such but I'm not sure it's worth listing all of it. My plan was to sell it really cheap to anyone who came to get something else and saw something they could use...
I've tried to make my prices far and my descriptions accurate and honest but I haven't been following this stuff so I may have some mistakes and am open to questions or suggestions about anything.
