Hello Everyone,
I am getting married in June and want to narrow down the amount of tanks that my potential tank sitter will have to maintain while I'm out of town. So here are the tanks on offer:
65G Hexagon Tank, Freshwater, includes light, stand, Eheim canister filter, Aquaclear 70 HOB filter, UG filter, pump for UG filter, powerhead. Nice FW full set up - $175
120G Glass cages tank, set up FW now, has home made overflow, lighting, oak stand, 40G breeder sump (set up for FW, but easily converted to SW), UG filter, pumps to run UG filter, nice return pump, MAG canister filter in line for water polishing, 5G of Seachem biomedia. Full set up. $400
225G - This is just the tank, and is not set up with anything else. It's 3 sided painted and drilled for sump use. $300
Huge Rubbermade water trough that can be used for a sump (does not have the mold resistant stuff in it, it has been used for a SW sump before). I think it is 100G and is very heavy duty. $50
55G barrel, food safe plastic, for RO or water changes, $25
48" 2xT5 light fixture, ballast recently replaced, $50
I have a ton of Texas holey rock. This stuff is primo and would cost a fortune to find the stuff on Ebay and pay for shipping. If anyone wants this for a FW tank I'll have it available once I sell the 120G set up. It's over 100lbs of it and is very nice and has tons of neat holes and hide spots, ideal for African Cichlids. $200
Also have some nice driftwood (big) that would go nicely in an Amazon or lower PH tank. They are on slate bottoms and ready to go. $50 for all of it.
2 D120 LED lights. These things are super bright 50/50 10K/455nm blues. There are 55 3W LEDs in each unit. They will light the tank up, although I would recommend supplementing with actinics for best results. $150 for both together.
Tropheus Moori (ikola) - Breeding colony (30 - 40 fish). These are Tanganyikan cichlids. Black with yellow bands. Gorgeous. Won't part out the colony. They need at least a 120G tank (which they are currently in). They are breeding and there are lots of fry that come with this deal. Many of the fish were wild caught and were not cheap. I will let the entire colony go for $300. If someone buys the 120G set up I can part with them for a little cheaper ($250) since I know you will have the right tank to keep them happy. Must see them. SW colors on FW fish. If you get them you probably ought to make it a species only tank, but you won't be disappointed, they are stunning. And you are getting them at a significant discount from what I paid (big time).
18" Pacu - If anyone wants this guy and has a tank that will give him a good home I will literally pay you to take him. You get $25 for taking him if you have an active profile on RC for at least 6 months and 50 posts, and you have a 150G+ tank and promise not to release him. He is a beast and needs a good home. Please help me find a home for this guy!!! He came free with a tank I got and I can't keep him anymore. He's a sweetheart, and just needs a big tank.
I have a ton of other FW/SW stuff I need to clear out of the basement to tile it. So, if you buy any of the above you are welcome to look through the other things and make an offer if you need any of it. There are some cheap 36" lights, various FW test kits, and other things.
I really hope I can get this stuff gone before June 14th so that I can leave my housesitter with minimal tanks to maintain. And it would also be nice to have a little extra cash for the honeymoon
Thanks everyone,
will
