just not enjoying this as much as i thought i would, so i would like to try to get what i have spent setting this up.

will not part out.
(price i paid)

tank dimensions: 48"x24"x28" ($150)
drilled for closed loop
plumbing included ($45)
new sicce 3.0 ($100)
two 65watt 50/50 pc lights in one light box (very used bulbs and ballasts)
two 54watt t5 with brand new workhorse ballast and endcaps in the other light box (used bulbs) ($65)
sand that i bought ($50)
stand that i built 20" tall and custom molding on tank ($20)

Sure would make a great porcipine puffer tank for your kiddos? I know where you can get some sand and liverock? Not that I am trying to talk you out of it.

if someone is interested in the cichlids, rainbow fish and freshwater decor for $150, i would be willing to part them from the setup. they must have a new home before the setup can go.

C'mon Ace!!!! Put a 12" Deep sand Bed in that Sucker! place about 4 or 5 PVC Poles covered in black mesh and then "planted" with all kinds of Macro algae then get yourself 8-10 garden eels and a pair of leafy sea Dragons..... Do something different for once!
