WTB: 55 or 60 gallon SW setup

[tybenner]

Hey guys. I had a good lead on a fish tank on eBay up in Michigan, but it's acrylic and I'm sure that having an acrylic tank and 20 month old crazy and wild son would not mix well.

My "need list"
55 or 60 gallon glass aquarium
Wooden stand
Hood
T5 or T5HO lighting system
Sump or overflow system
Live Sand and Live Rock
Powerheads (pref. 2)
Heater

My "want list"
Any soft corals that would work in this size
Friendly, coral safe fish (perhaps clowns)
Any testing equipment
Chemicals


My budget is just under $600, and I would love to have help with delivery. I don't have access to a truck, but I guess Uhaul always is a solution. I'm located up in Angola

I might have a 55g that I can get for you. It is just a standard fresh water setup. So nothing special in lighting or filteration. That stuff you will have to find.

Thanks man. I wouldn't mind starting from the roots up, but I would definitely need some help with some leads on piecing together some equipment. I also saw a listing on CraigsList today for a 55 gallon setup that I'm waiting for a response. Hopefully the guy/lady e-mails me back.

I'm going to be in Chicago for the weekend, so if you find anything hit me up my cell phone.

Let me know what you need and I will check my boxes of extra parts.

Another option might be to check out the selling forum on MichiganReefers(dot)com as there are a bunch of people selling complete set-ups.

Thanks, Love. I'm a member of MR and I've been watching those selling forums for the past two weeks. I wouldn't mind getting pieces here and there... I just want to make sure that I get everything that I want at lesser or same cost as buying a used complete setup.

Off to Chicago for the weekend!
