This is a DEAL!! I am in the Navy and transferring out of the country at the end of summer, and just don't want to sell this off in bits and then pay storage on the hardware for 3 years...This system has been running continuously since 2000 and is very stable - requiring minimum maintenance. I do 40% water changes every 6 months. Here is what is included, and what it cost me:
125 Gallon AGA glass aquarium (72x18x22) Drilled and plumbed for dual in tank overflows / returns. Tank has also been drilled (3) for a high volume Jacuzzi pump if you want a heavy flow hard coral setup $430
Heavy duty black stand $300.00
Custom hood with 1 36 watt actinic power compact, 2 400w metal halide lights, @2 fans to keep it cool. Includes timers and power strips $600.00
150 lbs of mixed FIJI, Marshall Island, and Tonga live rock with amazing coralline coverage. 4.99-7.99 LB $750.00 +
100 lbs of bio-diverse crushed coral substrate $100.00
40 gallon acrylic sump $60.00
GenX 750 GPH skimmer pump $120.00
IWAKI MD40RLT Sump return pump 825 GPH $265.00
Top Fathom TF300CL Dual venturi Skimmer $250.00
Automatic evaporation makeup system $50.00
Various soft corals and reef safe livestock including extremely rare show quality yellow belly blue tang worth 200.00 by himself $ 400.00
As you can see, I have at least $3300.00 invested in this setup.
I will let it go for 1400.00 / obo and I can help with the tear down. I can help with set-up if needed in San Diego County - for a fee reasonable with gas prices
