The LR in the tank alone is probably worth $50. That might be a good quarantine / sump / fuge / frag tank if someone is looking to pick one up.

I sent the seller an email. I would love to put something like that in my basement as a predator or quarantine tank. I hope it's still available...

That is a steal!

Crossing my fingers! I have everything else to set it up real nice as is. No telling what it actually comes with!

 

[phoenix20]

It looks like it has some type of lighting on legs there as well. Maybe some type of PC fixture?

I just got an email from the seller and it's all mine. Sweet! I've been looking for this kind of deal for another tank in my basement because I knew my wife would kill me if I spent a whole bunch of money on something new. So, is there anyone out there who can help me move it? I'll pay and feed? Any takers? In fact I could really use an outside opinion on my current tank if anyone has the time and could give me a hand. Let me know.

Congrats on the new tank. I'm glad my net surfin' went to good use today.

Ya, thanks for the lead. I check Craigslist but not all the time. It would have seen it on Friday and kicked myself for not checking earlier. Now, what should I do with it? It has a Tetra filter, powercompact day and lunar lights, biOwheel, protein skimmer and a bunch of live rock and sand. I'm going to pick it up on Saturday! Yee ha! I have a quarantine setup already that is really more of a refugium than anything and have really wanted to do a trigger. They are such awsome fish but aren't reef friendly to say the least. i was thinking about a trigger, snoflake eel and a puffer. any thoughts?

 

[purplegorilla]

Congrates.

I've seen this tank in person, they're a sweet couple and their lil one is amazingly well developed. The rock is all good quality fiji stuff but clearly needs some tlc at this point. I bought a few things from them as well at a crazy good price a few montsh ago. I'm not sure why they underprice their stuff so much. The things I bought were all in perfect condition and coulda sold for a lot more...

I got it and set it up!!!!!!:yay:

It's a standard 55g with stand, 40lb. live sand, and 80 POUNDS OF LIVE rock covered in coraline algae! The light fixture is a Coralife 4x65w PC w. LED lunar lights! There was also a HOB filter and a very odd HOB Aqamedic Skimmer with some sort of foam wheel that was broke. I think the $50.00 was a really good deal! :up:

Apparently the guy just wanted to get rid of it and couldn't do too much with it due to a bad back. I think he was and happy to get rid of it as I was to take it off his hands! Most everything stayed wet so it shouldn't have much of a cycle but I'm monitoring the water for a few days just to make sure.
