Both tank and Eheim have been sold. I accidently erased the other thread so heres a new one with what is left.

Okay Ive got a 3' 8 bulb Teklight for sale and a Octopus Recirc 110. Heres some pics.

Heres the Teklight. Its a 3' 8 bulb. It is in perfect shape. Its the biggest one they make. Bulbs are about 6 months old and still have plenty of life left. $300

Heres the skimmer. Its a Octopus Recirc. or PCI-RPS_1000. Its a great skimmer and pulls out nasty gunk. I included a pic below of some of the skimmate. Im asking $170 or trade for a HOB skimmer+cash for my Aquapod 24. Im looking for about anything. CSS65, Aqua C Remora, Deltec HOB (i dont think anyone has one but I thought I would try), or Tunze 9002.

As you can see I gotta clean up some salt creep but other than that its in great shape

[powdertang05]

where do you go to get your bulbs for that when its time for change?

[R-3]

LFS or online. They are very easy to get. They dont need to be changed for a while though. They still have time on them. Later Ryan

[powdertang05]

dang i want it so badly but wont it cost me like 300 more bucks in 6 months for new bulbs??

[R-3]

No bulbs run depending on brand $20-$30 per bulb (without clube discount) at LFS $13-22 online.

So if you keep the current setup it will cost $160 online or app $200 at LFS (with 10% off)

But keep in mind regular driven T5 last 2 years. These bulbs I have now are 6 months old and have plenty of light left with them. Later Ryan

[powdertang05]

WHAT i thought those bulbs need to be replaced every 12-14 months are you sure everyone on rc says 12-14

[R-3]

Thats when you overdrive them with Icecap ballasts. Most people I know that run normal ballasts keep them upwards of two years. Later Ryan

[R-3]

Light is sold. Skimmer is still available. No one needs a skimmer? This is a nice unit. Later Ryan

[Nyles]

Ryan is right, I change mine 18 month cycles to be safe. I do not overdrive mine. Overdrive 12 months.

[powdertang05]

you should read more its 12 on normal and less then 12 if you have fans on t-5's

[Nyles]

I do read more... :P

[Nyles]

In short..
• Replace bulbs every 18 – 24 months if using standard ballast
• If using Ice Cap ballast, replace bulbs every 12 – 18 months

Keep in mind this is for bulbs that are fan cooled (which is most) if your not fan cooling you will not get that life. I run 2 10" fans over my 60" long bulbs in a canopy to be safe.

[R-3]

Who cares! :) This is like a MH vs T5 debate. Everyones got a opinion. Light is sold so lets consider this a bump for the skimmer!!

NEW PRICE $150!!! SKIMMER IS $150

[powdertang05]

if you have light hungry critters like sps or clams y does everyone have a different opionion on time 12,15,24 whats the rule here! makes me mad

[R-3]

Skimmer is pending sale
