caferacermike Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 My little blue ring passed on a couple of weeks back and I still have the tank, sad they are short lived. The only place I had for the tank was on my kitchen counter and these cheap counters are beginning to bow under the weight. Rather than deal with it I think I'd like to sell it off. Both bulbs have recently burned out and will need to be replaced. The tank is currently up and running with 2 small blue damsels and some zoa, mushrooms, paly's, star polyps, a nice little trach branching brain, and black sand. With the lights out most corals are closed up. $150 takes it all. Current 1/15th HP chiller that I bought used for the tank but never used..... $275 Best online price I found was $320 plus ship. will entertain offers. Eheim 2213 canister filter $50. Best price online was $70+ $15 ship. Also included are various other medias and prefilters worth about $50 at lfs. Total is $475 for an ultra slick cold water tank. Would be killer full of strawberry anemones. I'd be willing to part with everything in one go for $400. I'd be willing to deliver and to help set it all up for $50 extra. I'd need to get some adapters and work with the buyer as to his or her requirements, IE: tank drilling or hood adaptation. Canister filter is meant to help circulate water from the chiller to the tank. Anyways I need to sell because the current location does not work anymore and I don't wish to set it up elsewhere. Need money for Honda 150 Dream parts to begin a couple of restoration jobs. Will be willing to part out in a few days. I'd really like someone to buy all of this and set up a cold water tank since you just don't ever see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prof Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It is a sweet tank with mild modifications to all the housing of escape capable octopi. This is a great deal for someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozack Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hey Mike, Any pics of just the tank set up? Wouldn't be able to swing the whole cold water set up but may be able to swing the other set up by the wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 No pics right now. I have old pics in my blue ring octo thread if you care to look back through it. I plan to order new bulbs in a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
