andy Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 We're tearing down my son's nano (too much humidity in his bedroom, mold growing on windows). It's a glass 20H (24 x 12 x 16) Custom bookcase-style stand (black and white) Custom hood with 1x 175W SE MH Hamilton 175W Magnetic ballast Hamilton 10K bulb that's older than I am but still works just fine Via Stealth Heater Fluval 205 Canister Filter (works fine, MUST be cleaned out monthly) Maxi-jet 600 It's a fine little skimmerless system. I'm planning on keeping the livestock and (at least some of the) rock. The acans, trachyphyllia, devil's hand, chalice, etc. in there are growing great so a canister-based nano is definitely doable -- though it does require religion when it comes to regular maintenance and water changes. I know we've seen a lot of systems roll through here lately, so before I post up a bunch of pictures and angst over an asking price I thought I'd check in and see if there is any interest at all. So, anyone interested enough to want to see/hear more? Quote
Michael7979 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Put some of those DRIZ-AIR in his room to remove humidity. Kinda like they used in old campers and such. You can find them at Lowes. Quote
darrellw Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Andy, I'm not interested in buying it, but I'd like to see some pictures. Always looking for ideas of what people are doing in their nanos. -Darrell Quote
spectra Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Cmon Andy dont blame the humidity(whistle) My son did not want his tank either(laugh) Kids go through sperts and hey we have to live with them. On a side note if your taking it down where is the pistol shrimp going? If it is still in there. Quote
andy Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Yeah, there's more to it than just the humidity... the damned cats keep chewing the ATO line, the boy isn't interested in doing any maintenance, and my bunions hurt. Hey you kids, get off my lawn! The shrimp and goby are going into the 55gal, where they can spread aragonite over everything in the bottom 1/2 of the tank. I'll dig up some pics, Darrell Quote
andy Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Tank and stand (not the hood): Older FTS: Quote
pledosophy Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I'd be interested, but it all depends on price my man. Times are tight, we're saving for a house. Don't suppose you'd wanna trade it for xenia and GSP :lol: To be honest, I couldn't afford the fair price for it, but if the price was a steal a few of us might jump on it. Just being honest. Quote
darrellw Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I wonder if my wife would notice it in the garage.... Quote
albertareef Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I wonder if my wife would notice it in the garage.... If you have to ask, I bet you already know the answer (laugh) Quote
darrellw Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 If you have to ask' date=' I bet you already know the answer (laugh)[/quote'] LOL, you are right, the real question is how much trouble I will be in when she finds it. "Golly, dear, I'm just watching it for Andy, honest!" Quote
pledosophy Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Dunno really' date=' $175 maybe? OBO?[/quote'] Is that for everything listed? Tank, stand, light MJ? Is there a canopy. Quote
andy Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, for the lot -- there's a matching canopy as well. I'll clean it up a bit (just finished the teardown last night) and get a few pictures up. Quote
