Spring Cleaning - Tanks and stuff FS CHEAP!!!

Hello Iowa reefers,

I'm in the process of cleaning out a storage room and I have a lot of reef equipment that I need gone. I'm going to price this stuff to get it out of here fast, but as a result I won't hold anything. First come first serve,

I'll start with the fish tanks:

20 gal. long aquarium (12" x 12" x 30") - $5

15 gal. tank (24" x 12" x 12") drilled on one end w/ 2 1&3/4 " holes - $5

20 gal. tank (12" x 16" x 24") plus iron stand, lid and reg. florescent light - $10

other stuff:

Kent marine phosban reactor - $10

3 x MJ 1200 powerheads with prop modification - $10 each (I'll include an extra shaft and prop with each one if you would like to try to re-do the mod, but they all work as-is)

Excalibur HOB protein skimmer -Good for smaller tanks (<50gal) needs a venturi powerhead (not included) - $5

350 watt won pro titanium heater - $10

50 watt won pro titanium heater - $5

5 x Intermatic light timers (the kind with the red and green tabs) - $5 for all 5 (these aren't grounded timers, so don't plan on using them for your halides)

Milwaukee CD 97 TDS meter - $5

A complete top-up system- This includes the float switch connected to an outlet, the pump and tubing. All you need to do to have an auto top-up is set the float switch in your sump and drop the pump into some type of water container (I used a brute trash can) and you are good to go - $20

FREE STUFF:

I have two visi-therm glass heaters. One is a 25 watt and one is a 300 watt. I haven't tested these in years, but a visual inspection shows no damage. These are free, and come with no warranties express or implied that you will not kill yourself or your tank inhabitants with these. I don't trust glass heaters, but I have no reason to suspect that there is any problems with these. So, use at your own risk.

I also have a nice piece of cast acrylic tubing that is 18" tall and 8" wide. It has a square piece of acrylic attached to the bottom and a lid that attaches with hex-nuts. It has a small hole with bulkhead attached to one side. It was once a CaRx, but proved to be too large to run efficiently. I think it could be made into a nice DIY kalk-stirrer

I think thats it. I also have a large library of reef keeping books that I will sell in a little while, but if anyone is looking for any particular book let me know, I probably have it.

I can email pictures of anything if anyone wishes, but it might take me a day or so to get them to you. Also, I am willing to trade anything for some canning jars [real canning jars (i.e. Ball, etc.) not rinsed out spaghetti sauce cans]

Thanks for reading

Oh, btw I am located in Iowa City, just a few miles off of I-80
 
I'll ship some of the stuff. But I'd really like to get rid of this stuff as quickly as possible (while having to do as little as possible). I'm not going to hold anything for anyone, but whatever is still here by next Monday I'll ship to whoever asked about it first, but I am hoping people will come over and pick all of this up before then.

I also found a 90% full bottle of Kent's Iodine (Lugol's Solution). I used it to dip a few corals and thats it, I'll sell that for $5 too.

Thanks everyone for looking
 
I'll take the 350 watt Won heater and the 8" Acrylic. I'm not sure which ones Craig (xroads) wanted so he has first dibs. Again shipping if possible, but I may be over that way in a few weeks. There is a large tank in Coralville I am considering, so I may be over there anyway.
 
If I do end up shipping, got2lb has dibs on the maxijets, TDS meter, top-up system, and glass heaters. He contacted me last night immediately after I made the post.

Paper Clip has dibs on the 350 watt heater and the phosban reactor and Musty Baby has dibs on the piece of acrylic.

But, thats only if I still have the stuff on Monday. If someone wants to come get any or all of it today over lunch or after work its theirs.

Thanks
 
Sorry folks, the TDS meter, top-up system, maxijets, timers, phosban reactor, and lugols solution are now all gone.

acidlittle, I have an inline TDS meter that attaches to the 1/4" tubing on a RO unit and measures the TDS on the input and the output if you are interested. I was going to sell it when I sold the RO/DI in a little while. But since you Booo'd me I'll take it off and ship it to you if that would be what you needed. If you need a stand alone meter though I can't help. Let me know.
