BADBaxter Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have been keeping this tank alive for the last 4 years with the intent of getting back in the hobby. Unfortunately, where I live now the power will go out for a couple of weeks at a time, I go through 2 sets of RO/DI filters a year (terrible well water) and I do not have the time to maintain. This tank was sold to me as a 90 gallon tank. However, the measurements suggest a 75 gallon tank. The tank is drilled with a 2" overflow. It has a glass 29 gallon sump. It includes the light hood with 2 spider light reflectors with 2 - 250W halides, 2-VHO Actinic and the stand. It also includes the protein skimmer, D & D "Beast". The stand needs some work from some water damage (cosmetic) and one of the Icecap ballasts is not working, about $65 to repair the ballast. There is about 150 lbs (more like 200+ lbs) of live rock and 100 lbs of live sand. As you can see from the photos, maintenance is needed. However, the rock has a lot of sponges and tube worms. I am about 15 minutes from Salem and 20 minutes from Corvallis. This is a complete unit. I am including 2 UV sterilizers (need new bulbs) and all of my miscellaneous reef equipment, pumps, spare bulbs (used), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADBaxter Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hate to part with it the tank but life is full of changes. Have a huge protein skimmer, the pumps and heater included. Did you want the Calcium reactor that I have? You mentioned wanting it a while ago... PM me off line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADBaxter Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Skimmer specs The skimmer that comes with the tank is a D & D Marine Aquatics Venturi "Beast". It was purchased in 2002 and I used it on my 240 with no problem. D & D claims that it is good for 300 gallons, 200 gallon reef. I currently do not have a pump for the skimmer. It has been repaired but is water tight and fully functional. It has no collection cup but drains into another container such as a milk jug.

BADBaxter Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 I mistakenly stated that the light hood has 4 40w Actinics. It has 2 VHO Actinics with waterproof end caps and working ballast. Sorry for the mistake. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhowe Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That's a sweet deal for whoever gets it. Rock alone is probably worth 400 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADBaxter Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes, I thought the price was fair. Was hoping to get this gone before I leave for a few weeks. Wish I could just sit at home and play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
