Dusky Wrasse is one of my favorites that I currently have, picture below doesn't do the fish justice but its the best i have.

great looking tank in person and in video!

Used for a month, just not for me.  I like to clean the skimmer cup at least once a week.  They are selling for $229 on BRS.  Looking for $200.

Compatible with the following skimmers.  

my personal experience with using gravity to top of my tank has worked well for the last 15 years.  If you can get your RODI reservoir higher than you sump i would recommend that.  I have to clean the top of float valve once a month because i run a kalk reactor thru it but before i ran kalk thru it i never cleaned it.  I also run a Tunze Osmolator on a QT setup and that has worked well too but i prefer keeping it simple with the reservoir and float valve.  IME if the float valve fails it fails closed cause it gets clogged with kalk but again that's my experience.  

light looks great over your tank and the tank looks great.  i have the 24" versions and am very happy with them.  Mine are inside a cabinet so you can't see them and the cord issue isn't a concern for me but i understand the complaint.

Stare the pods

Seems to me that my heater is on quite a bit especially when it starts cooling down outside.  House thermostat is set at 70 from 7 am to 9 pm and 65 at night.  I would have it cooler during the day but my inlaws live with us and they are home most of the time so it needs to be warmer...or at least that's what my wife says.  I have a 1000 watt heater and it keeps the tanks between 77 and 78.  

Happy Birthday!

(2) 2" diameter gate valves

(2) 1 1/2" diameter gate valves

(2) 1 1/2" diameter ball valves

(1) large bulkhead, looks to be a 2" diameter.  It would need a 3 1/4" hole in tank and 4 1/4" diameter outside dimension

miscellaneous pvc plumbing parts range in size from 1 1/2" diameter to 2" diameter.  

Large valve in picture is unknown size.  

if the plumbing part has an 'S' written on it that means it was glued with silicone and will come apart easily.  if it has a 'G' than it was glued with PVC cement.  

asking $100 for everything or willing to trade for corals.  

picked up a frag of candy cane and frammer yesterday.  great person to talk reef with and he has a beautiful tank.  

Corals and fish

Took a while to get there but the have been up and running since this spring.  With putting all fish through QT and a very busy summer it's taking a while to get fish in them.  Here are some pictures of how it turned out.  First couple pictures are blue but i recently found a setting on my phone that i could select that reduces the blue a little.    

Great looking tank, Potters angels are one of my favorite fish.  

The Tunze 6105s I had on the previous 400 gallon tank are too big for the 180 gallon tank I have now.  Looking to sell (2) Tunze 6105 and a 7096 controller.  All work properly.  Each pump comes with a set of fuses shown in the picture.  

Asking $150 a piece for the pumps and $75 for the controller or $300 for everything.  Open to coral trades too.    

where do you recommend we park during the farmer's market?  I tried to stop by your shop for the first time a couple weeks ago and it must have been a Tuesday cause it was a nightmare to find parking.  maybe finding parking shouldn't be that hard but i'm not familiar with Hillsboro and i just gave up and went home.  don't worry, i'll try to stop in another time.        

sorry for the delayed response but we just got back from Glacier Nat park...i sent Kasasah and Aquanius PMs.  

thanks to albertareef i found out i actually have a C3002 not a C1502 reactor.  Only difference between the two reactors is height of reactor and how much media it hold.  

That would be great!  Sadly, my tank is still trying to recover from last year's crash so not sure there is anything worth fragging but would be happy to toss you some cash if I can't find something you need.  BTW - do you still have those MH reflectors?  I got busy and never followed through on those.
Nice score with the MRC.  I had eyed one of their units previously but didn't know Ron had one available.

Interested in the bottle if you separate. 

I'd be willing to part it out.  just looking to get rid of it.  I don't know what a cylinder goes for, i'm guessing it's a 5 lbs cylinder.  It also has a regulator on the cylinder that will come with it.  I found 5 lbs cylinders online for $60 to $70.  how about $25 for it?

Thanks for the info!  I am running that same reactor currently and like the design.  Yours appears to have the pH probe holder which is nice as they don't all have one.  I wouldn't mind trying to resurrect the regulator if you end up parting it out.  What dual chamber did you get?  I've seen a few nice large units on here the last few months so hopefully you scored one of those.

Yes, it has the PH probe holder.  Your welcome to have the regulator to see if you can fix it.  If you feel like giving me anything for it i'm starting to add corals and would be happy for any frag you might have. 

I got a MRC dual chamber reactor from Ron down in Albany a while back.

Bummer about the regulator - that would make a nice setup.  Have any idea what's wrong with it?

no clue, it's missing the power supply and i got it in the condition it's currently in.  i didn't contact the manufacturer and they said i could send it in for repair but i'm just going with new.  I have another calcium reactor with 2 chambers that i'm going to use instead of this one.  

Korallin C3002 calcium reactor, carbon doser electronic regulator that doesn't work and a small cylinder for CO2,  Asking $200.

Korallin C3002—Reactor height: approx. 28"; Diameter: 4.50"; Ground: 6.30"; Filling amount: 6 kgs (13.2lbs); Eheim 1048 Pump.

The internal re-circulation flow rate of the C-1502 is around 80 g/h. Since that this is a pressurized Kalkreactor, the dissolution of the media by the carbonized water is enhanced. The effluent rate is only about 0.25 g/h at 40 drops/min. Thus explaining the efficient CO2 & media use. CO2 is being introduced into the Eheim powerhead direct—this is the most efficient Aspirating-Venturi method.

Features:

Top-loading & access w/ enhanced O-ring seal
`Auto-fill` Integrated Bubble Counter on one water circuit (ie: water never evaporates)
Detachable Tru-Union couplings w/ O-rings for easy handling, safe shipping, upgrading and leak proof
Integrated `industrial-grade` Brass Check Valve from German Air Pressure Systems to prevent back flow of pressurized saltwater
Improved engineering for stronger water circulation and suction
Secure German airline tubing connectors
Medical-use Miniature Quick Disconnect Couplings w/ shut-off 3 Inlet & outlet facing same direction
Special elbow for flexible airline tubing mounting
Heavy-duty Excelon construction w/ no unsightly and fragile hangover tubing
Top pump-mounting design
Self-suction water intake by the silent Eheim pump eliminates the use of a dedicated powerhead, gravity-fed or tee-off methods. It also serves for water recirculation.
Water circuit interruption in case of CO2 overdose—our exclusive CO2 Safety Feature
Visual excessive CO2 check w/ ventilation valve for quick release
Dual effluent outlets to suit different systems
Aspirating-Venturi technology utilizes only 10 CO2 bubbles/min. and up—most efficient use of both CO2 gas and CaCO3 media
The most compact and versatile positioning Kalkreactor in its class—6.25" small foot print + 15.75" total height—external or in-sump
Micro-adjustable miniature ball valve to maintain a consistent effluent drip rate
Slightly larger (German size) airline tubing for more consistent water flow
Strainer to protect Eheim pump from loose media particles

The SRO 5000SSS sold. 

SRO XP-5000 Int Cone protein skimmer with pump + extra pump but it needs a new impeller, asking $250. Skimmer works great but I have two larger skimmers and only need one.  The 2nd one is a SRO 5000SSS (space saver) with a spare pump if you were interested in that rather than this one.  Both work great so i'd be willing to sell either one.

I also have an AquaUV 40 watt unit and like it.  it's on my 80g QT setup that i run before i treat the fish with cupramine and prazi.  per my research it seemed like it was best to go with an over sized UV so it is effective, especially if you have a high flow rate through it.  another option is to have a small dedicated pump or a tee off your return line so you can control how much water is going through the uv.
