*THOUGHT* my tank was costing me ~$50 a month. After tearing it down, my bill went down an average of $100 a month!!! There's certain things you can't calculate...such as how much MORE my A/C was running to compensate for the added heat/humidity.

UPDATE: The MR-1 Skimmer (which it turns out was actually an MR-2) was snatched up. All other items are still available.

UPDATE: The Velocity pump is taken now. But all other items (from my 1/26 post) are still available.

Please note: ALL CORALS have been sold a LONG time ago. All that's left is the equipment shown in the first post on 1/26/10.

I added the prices to the descriptions. (Sorry Mods, didn't know)

Hi guys! Not sure if you remember, but a few months ago, I tore down my tank. I'm just now getting around to selling the equipment, and if anyone's interested, got some good stuff! All of it in GREAT shape. Honestly! and really good deals (lots of freebies with each). Just looking to get rid of all my stuff. Rather than take up valuable WAMAS disk space I figured I'd point you to the craigslist postings which have all the info as well as pictures (and links to full sized hi-res pics for scrutenous eyes!) If anyone's interested, either PM me here, or respond to the craigslist post. My Saltwater aquarium equipment for sale: MR1 Protein Skimmer w/ pump and ALL necessary parts ($300) - http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/1532856989.html Pacific Coast 1/10th HP Chiller (brand new fan/controller) ($250) - http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/1533274022.html Velocity T3 Return pump ($100) - http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/1532814089.html Nano Tank Light Fixture ($40 for 2)- http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/1571217593.html Red Sea Prizm Skimmer ($50) - http://baltimore.craigslist.org/for/1571263766.html Very bittersweet selling all this stuff...but it's just taking up room, and it's definitely gonna be a good 3-4 years before I get back into this. Hope everyone's doing great! Miss the forum!! Need to get my butt back on here!

Thank you very much!! Just to bring everyone up to date: The tank is empty. Livestock's been sold. I'm NOW selling the tank/equipment. Starting at post 20 on. Price is $2000. Everything you see (except the CA reactor) plus lots of odds and ends. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Someone's taken me up on the only piece I was willing to sell on it's own. The Calcium reactor is no longer a part of the package. Price is dropped to $2000 Everything else is still included.

drop me a PM or e-mail me at mike_jr@thesodafamily.com if you are interested, or have any questions. I'm located 20 min north of Rockville.

With all the equipment listed/shown here...THIS is what my tank used to look like: Yours could look even nicer, I assure you!

- CA Reactor: MyReefCreation's CR1 (high quality reactor) w/ALL necessary eqiup. Pumps, pH controller, CO2 tank & regulator, tubing, everything!!

- Skimmer: MyReefCreation's MR-1 w/PCX55 pump (high quality skimmer)

- Chiller: Pacific Coast Imports CL280 (1/10HP..but don't let it fool you, this thing is strong enough!) FYI..this chiller was just recently (4-6 months ago?) rebuilt with replacement parts from the company. New internal cooling fan as well as controller unit. As a result, you get an not-so-new chiller, but with pretty-dang-new guts! (I can explain more on this if you want details)

- 2 PH probes / Monitors - Lights: Hamilton 2x250w HQI MH with 2x110 VHO's. VHO Ballast is only a few months old. Both are in EXCELLENT condition. (the light fixture itself can be seen on top of the tank in the first picture that shows everything. I forgot to take pics of just the light fixture...If you're interested, I can take more)

- Automatic top-off system: Float switches with backup protective shut-off. Can't remember the brand off hand, not ATO, but the other big one. Everything you need. Just add water!

The tank: Oceanic 75 gallon bow-front tank on Oceanic bow-front stand. (stand goes with this tank. Not homemade, or "it fits, so it works"...this is the stand intended for this tank by Oceanic). Close/Side view of the glass. No scratches I'm aware of. The Sump:

So the details: First off...there's nothing wrong with the tank or ANY of the pieces. As I stated in a previous thread..with 2 kids still in diapers, I just simply don't have the time anymore to maintain the tank. Not to mention, the room to store it. While that sucks for me...it's great news for anyone in the area, as you get it all for over half of what it's worth. ALL necessary plubming and accessories included. EVERYTHING you need to keep all fish/corals, especially SPS. - Oceanic 75 Gallon bowfront reef-ready tank - Oceanic 75 gallon bowfront stand (w/DIY cabinet light) - Oceanic Sump 2 / Return pump (Velocity) - Custom Closed Loop System w/Eductors, powered by a Blueline PCX-70 pump. MASSIVE flow and ball-valved plumbing to dial it back. - Automatic top-off system: Float switches with backup protective shut-off. Can't remember the brand off hand, not ATO, but the other big one. - 2 PH probes / Monitors - Lights: Hamilton 2x250w HQI MH with 2x110 VHO's. VHO Ballast is only a few months old. Both are in EXCELLENT condition. Ceiling mount equip included. I even have a few extra unused VHO bulbs I kept around in case..yours free. - Chiller: Pacific Coast Imports CL280 (1/10HP..but don't let it fool you, this thing is strong enough!) - Skimmer: MyReefCreation's MR-1 w/PCX55 pump (high quality skimmer!) - CA Reactor: MyReefCreation's CR1 (high quality reactor) w/ALL necessary eqiup. Pumps, pH controller, CO2 tank & regulator, tubing, everything!! - TONS of odds and ends: 3+ Heaters, 3+ timers, 2 power strips, bunch of 5gal buckets, a big 30+ gal Brute mixing bucket (and a Mag5 to mix it, as well), Salifert test kits for almost everything, pH calibration packets, cleaning equip, some dosing odds and ends, all the manuals for the equipment, a bunch of extra plumbing parts (if you want them) and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff! - ALL NECESSARY PUMPS / PLUMBING!! * * Overflow Return plumbing designed for behind (not under) the tank set up. If you will set up with your sump somewhere else, you will need a small <$5 part to change the direction of the drain pipe or flex plumb it to wherever you'll have your sump. But that's the only exception. ALL other necessary parts/plubming for EVERYTHING are here!! I'll post close-up pictures of everything below!

Complete 75 gallon reef-ready tank/system for sale. All high end equipment. Cost: $2,300 or best offer Everything you see here, plus a lot of odd's and ends: (click on ANY picture for a full sized version. All equip is in GREAT condition, and I'd like you to be able to see that.) Details to follow...

Okay...all I have left is 3 pieces of Live Rock... and Next Saturday, this tank is coming down whether I get rid of these pieces or not..so hopefully someone wants them..otherwise, they're going in the trash. Here

UPDATE: This tank's going down within two weeks. MOST of the smaller Corals are now FREE to any who want them. The following are taken/reserved: Ricordia, Merulina, Turquis a. Zelli (discussing with an interested party. If they decline, then could be up for grabs) The following are still up for grabs, but I can't give them away for free. But will come down very much in the price: Large Green Acro large Peach Pocill Trumpets Pink Milli Zoa Rock Please contact me asap, if your interested. ALL my Live Rock has to go too...and I'm willing to sell it for $3 a pound!! I'm getting desparate, so everything just became an even MORE rediculous deal for anyone interested!

And one more large one, I forgot about for some odd reason. This is a brite yellow (hint of neon green) pocillopora damicornis that is doing VERY good. So good in fact, that in about 10 different spots in the tank, I'm seeing new colonies growing. Which means somehow, this bad boy has spawned and I didn't notice it. If you look in this picture, slightly above and to the left of the coral, (at about about 11 o'clock), you can see one of it's spawned colonies starting to grow. There are a few of these all over. In any case... [sPS] Neon Yellow/Green pocillopora damicornis (about the size of a pear) - $40

I think the problem is...I need to post pictures: Large Corals: [sPS] Green Slimer acropora (about the size of a football) - $75 [LPS] Trumpet (>100 polyps...LARGE) - $75 [LPS but kinda SPS] Australogyra zellipora (RARE) - $75 (another shot to hopefully give you some scale) [sPS] white/flesh colored acropora (about the size of a baseball) - $50 [sPS] Peach pocillopora damicornis (about the size of a baseball) - $50 [sPS] brite pink acropora milli (slightly smaller than a baseball) - $50 [LPS] Euphyllia (hammer - pear size) - $40 (and again, for scale) [LPS'ish] bright purple w/tan polyped Gorgonia (~8" and 3 branches) - $40

Only things taken so far is the Ricordia rock . EVERYTHING else is up for grabs. I'm very suprised ... are there no SPS lovers in the DC/MD/VA area?

I'm asking for $60. and again, the rock's probably worth 75% of that. and thanks...I'm not *leaving* per say...just taking a few years hiatus. hehehe anyone else interested in any of these corals?

I live in Damascus...about 10 min north of the Walmart in Germantown.
