Ok, decided to repost this and clean up the thread and reduce pricing. I would like to have all this sold by next weekend if possible. If not, I'll keep the tank and turn it into a freshwater setup and just sell off what I don't need.

45g breeder reef ready tank with sump, stand, and canopy
- tank is 36in. long x 18in. wide x 16in. tall; overall height 57in. to top of canopy
- has corner overflow with 1inch drain drilled in bottom
- sump has built in refugium area
- Iwaki 20RLXT return pump, little rust on base, but is clean and it got a new impeller within last year
- lighting - canopy has two 95 watt VHO lamps on ARO ballast and 250watt DE halide with reflector from Hellolights with 14k Reeflux bulb. Also have 4 extra VHO bulbs (2 aquasuns, 2 actinic white, 2 super actinic). Refugium has Lights of America CF light from Home Depot, worked really well, but needs to be replaced due to some rust.

Everything has been cleaned. Tank is a few years old, but everything is in good condition.

Everything is sold, thanks everyone

Wasn't really looking to ship items. If I did, I would need payment up front and would have to include cost of shipping plus insurance.

Iplantz - I'll try to get the skimmer boxed up and get a shipping estimate. Do you prefer UPS or USmail?

Here are pics of lighting as requested by someone. The pic with the lights on is not very good as my camera's auto-iris closes up due to so much light. With all lights on, it's 440watts. Heck, I was blinded for awhile looking at it! LOL

How much for what you have left? I'm thinking about downgrading my 135 and this is about the size I want to go.

Thanks

OK, I have two people possibly interested in the entire setup. I'll give them a little more time to decide before parting out. Hopefully I'll post something by the end of today to update those interested in certain items. Thanks!

Chris, I have a friend that's been looking to get into the hobby and this looks to be good deal for him, I'll shoot him an email and get back with you. Just to confirm, because I didn't read through the thread, everything is still included with the full tank setup? No parts missing?

Joshua -
Just confirming our phone call earlier, only thing missing from the full setup I had running is the skimmer, Sea Swirl, and the Hydor power heads. Basically the tank, stand, canopy, sump, return pump, halide light, and VHO lighting still remains. Basically just need a skimmer and a little bit of plumbing to make a hang on return (might still have the original that was on tank), and add water. All for $425 as mentioned. If he buys it, I'll throw in some other stuff I have to help him get started - have half bucket of IO salt, half bucket of Oceanic salt, and a few test kits.

I'll let him know, he was mentioning not being able to afford salt for a while so that might perk his interest. Hey how much did you get for the Urchin skimmer? He's trying to get an idea of what they go for on the used market and I've been out for so long I don't have a clue what to tell him.

I sold the Urchin skimmer for $65. I haven't seen too many of them for sale so I didn't know what they are going for. Seems most people have Red Sea prizm skimmers they are trying to get rid of. I was looking around trying to figure out what else could fit in that spot in the sump, but didn't look too hard. I think there are a few out there though.

Bruce - hope you enjoy the tank!
