I'm going to be doing a lot of work inside my house this summer, and will have to take down my corner tank. This will happen in early May, but I thought I'd see if anyone would be interested in the whole set up. Here it is:
60 gallon 5-sided corner tank, tall pine stand (nice stand)
PFO 250W DE pendant w/HQI ballast, couple of bulbs with less than 6 months
The following equipment is all stuff I built; anyone who has seen my stuff will attest to the quality. It's all out of 3/8" Spartech polycast or Cyro GP, with 6" domestic cast tube, built specifically for this system.
25 gallon (approx) custom sump, fits perfectly in the stand
Needlewheel skimmer 30" tall, 6" tube, sedra 5000 pump
Calcium reactor, CO2 tank, regulator, 16lbs media capacity, pan world pump
Kalk reactor, about 24", with medical dosing pump, pan world stirring pump
Pan world return pump, 500GPH
2 tunze nanostreams 6045

Livestock includes 5 nice clams (2 blue croceas, 1 blue maxima, 2 nice derasas), lots of stony corals; a large blue tort, a couple of large monti caps, some medium/small millis, a big seriatopora colony. Most of the corals came from Texas Todd's old tank, some from Steve, a few from Ace. About 50 lbs of live rock, 100 lbs (guess) of live sand. No flatworms or aiptasia. Lots of bubble algae, though! No fish, the pair of bangaii cardinals is spoken for.
$1000 for the set up.

In May, if there is no interest in the whole system I'll sell the livestock and some of the equipment. I'm not parting out until then. If interested in the entire set up, please PM me. I'm not looking for a quick sale, and there's plenty of time for anyone who would like to see it. The system has been up for a couple of years. Please do not ask for prices on specific pieces of equipment or livestock, I'll post another thread in May if I end up parting out.

Sorry, no photos, but I'll try to get one or two this week to post.

Thanks!

Hi Ray;

It's Troy's tank and stand, except I had it re-sealed and I built a nice corner overflow for the back corner. Everything else is either stuff I built or bought new.

How's it going for you these days? It's been a while!

The tank dimensions are 29.5" from back corner to each front corner, about 41" wide at the widest point (front corner to front corner), 20" top to bottom, and the stand height is 38". I'll try to get a photo or two.

OK Matt,
What's up with the needle wheel skimmer, that's a little surprising? Did you build this one yourself also?

Yep, I've built a few of them. I like them for smaller tanks, and for this system I definitely needed an in sump skimmer. The becketts work great with a good external pressure pump and much larger volumes.

Here are a couple of photos. There's a photo of a kalk reactor very similar to the one for this tank in the equipment forum.
