180 Gallon tank for sale - Getting out of the hobby for now.

[Guest Kimo]

My 180 gallon Oceanic reef ready tank is for sale. It is 6' x 2' x 2', and is PRE-DRILLED for a closed loop with two 1.5" bulkheads in the middle of the back panel at 2' from each end! No stress about getting your tank drilled!

 

 

I have had this tank set up for 4 years, and broke it down A few months ago.

 

I have the original oceanic stand and a custom hood built by Quazi (mike priest) and myself. It can be used with any type of lighting and has an open back with 2 4" fans in the ends. Black enamel finish.

 

Also included is a custom sump, this cost me over $350 alone! It is 25" x 18" x 14", and constructed of acrylic by Greg Shields of http://www.reefmania.net/ I don't know how many gallons it holds.

 

The sump itself it REALLY REALLY nice. Here are some pics, click on the thumbnail for a hi-res version.

 

This is the sump, just an overall view. You can see the custom drain I made from 1" PVC. This prevents bubbles from being sucked into the skimmer pump. The skimmer return is 1.5" and is in the back left corner. There are 3 outlets, visible on the front right side, and this allows you to plumb the pump at a 90 deg angle to the sump if space is tight. The calcium reactor input is visible on the far corner on the back side. The probe holder is visible on one of the middle partitions.

 

This is a close up view of the custom PVC intake that I built. If you have any questions please let me know.

 

All bulkheads are hayward, a leader in quality and reliability. That gasket is nice thick rubber, and just oozes quality.

 

The flow goes from right to left. The eggcrate is removable and is great for holding carbon or floss for water polishing.

 

I love this sump. It is REALLY nice, and this is a KILLER deal!

 

For everything I am asking $850. This is a GREAT deal for a high quality tank, stand, hood and custom sump!

 

Send me a PM if you are interested.

 

Thanks!

So far, so good. It's in the house :-). Now for the rest of the fun..... soon as I can talk hubby into prepping things to get some water in it and start it cycling. Funnily enough, he's wanting something called a break. I don't understand what this means.

I think it's thats startling moment between work, intimacy, and arguing. That you don't know what to do with when it occurs, but never seems long enough.
