R-3 Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 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. Quote
R-3 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 Bump to the top. Make offers. Later Ryan Quote

R-3 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 Its got 4 Blue+ (the bluer ones), 2 Aquablues (11k whiter ones), 1 Actinic (purple), and one Daylight 6500k (yellower) Heres the best pics I could get. Quote
R-3 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 As you can see I gotta clean up some salt creep but other than that its in great shape Quote
powdertang05 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 where do you go to get your bulbs for that when its time for change? Quote
R-3 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 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 Quote
powdertang05 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 dang i want it so badly but wont it cost me like 300 more bucks in 6 months for new bulbs?? Quote
R-3 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 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 Quote
powdertang05 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 WHAT i thought those bulbs need to be replaced every 12-14 months are you sure everyone on rc says 12-14 Quote
R-3 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Posted January 4, 2007 Thats when you overdrive them with Icecap ballasts. Most people I know that run normal ballasts keep them upwards of two years. Later Ryan Quote
R-3 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 Light is sold. Skimmer is still available. No one needs a skimmer? This is a nice unit. Later Ryan Quote
Nyles Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Ryan is right, I change mine 18 month cycles to be safe. I do not overdrive mine. Overdrive 12 months. Quote
powdertang05 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 you should read more its 12 on normal and less then 12 if you have fans on t-5's Quote
Nyles Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I do read more... :P http://www.3reef.com/modules.php?name=Content&file=viewarticle&id=30 Quote
Nyles Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 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. Quote
R-3 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 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 Quote
powdertang05 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 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 Quote
