Looking for extension tube to turn my etss 2000 skimmer into a 2500 and also looking for the optional  air muffler

Here are pics of the shelving brackets as I was building the stand and the DJ power strip mounts for 4 power strips. Only 2 are showing mounted in the pic

I want to sell or trade for a large calcium reactor setup to support a 500g system. I made this custom steel stand out of 1.5 steel tubing and had it poly coated which is the stuff they use on ocean going equipment so it will never rust. More rubbery feel than regular powder coat and stronger. The stand is 96 inches long 24 inches deep and 35 inches tall. The sump is a 120g and is 72x18x19 with two 7 inch sock filter holes. the water cascades up over the socks so there is no plumbing in your way to remove and replace the socks. I am only asking $1000 which is what the materials alone cost to build all this not counting labor. But I am somewhat negotiable.

I should have got a pic with the plywood off, the center braces on top are off center a foot or so in case you have a center overflow it will not conflict with your plumbing. this would cost you $2000 to have this made so this is a steal. Its overbuilt thick wall steel tubing so it will last a couple lifetimes.

My other stand I built identical to this I embedded strong magnets in cherry wood panels to stick to the stand and it looks really nice, I never got around to making panels for this stand but I can show you how easy it is.

Would be happy to trade for a large calcium reactor setup to support a 400 to 600 gallon system. I live in Salem, OR 97302

You can text me at Dave 541-912-5650 for it. I sent you a PM too

New in the box, same electronic board for either an mp40 or MP60 only difference is the outside says mp60. Asking $40

These came out of my 300 gallon tank, they are very heavy duty 1\2" thick towers are 29-3\4 tall 11-7\8 wide and 6 inches deep, they had 1.5 inch and 1 inch bulkheads plumbed behind them originally. Of course you could cut the heighth down to whatever you wanted. The tank was only 6 months old when I cut these out

They include covers to keep snails etc out. $100 for the pair, these would cost close to $300 new

So I setup a new 75g tank in our bedroom to look at while laying in bed and I'm loving it so far. Including the spotted puffer that has been fully acclimated to saltwater for 2 years that I got from a guy for free. Mainly doing the non reef safe stuff in this tank.

There are some large leathers and random polyps that I don't care about but most fish don't eat leathers I think so should be fairly safe

Picture files are 5 to 7mb so be patient loading them

Unfortunately had a catastrophic failure because of a hole previous owner of tank drilled. It cracked around that rough hole. So I am looking for a replacement 8ft tank if anybody has any leads. Im exploring options of repairing or replacing

I am looking for a replacement tank 96x24x30 if anybody has one or knows somebody who has one for sale. I want glass. Acrylic is just not worth it since I want it to look nice for years to come

What are those rails used to mount the power strip?  Cool idea!

the brackets for the power strips are just "L" brackets from the hardware store and drilled a couple holes in them. The backside of the stand vertical bars are just standard slotted shelving rods with the holes for shelf brackets to lock into

Nice to know there is another skilled steel stand maker! Did you take it somewhere to be polycoated? Looking good so far!

Year I made the stand and then took it to Oregon Powder Coaters in Tangent, OR right outside Albany. Industrial place and they do very good work

Looks great

 

What kind of tank you going with?

Im not sure of the manufacture. I bought it from a guy for only $800 and it was only used 6 months. It looks brand new so it was a steal

So I just built this smaller steel stand to match the 300G one I built. Cherry wood panels with magnets embedded in them to stick to the stand. I've decided though I hate acrylic tanks so will be replacing this tank with a glass one in the next few weeks.

So I just finished building my steel stand for the 300G tank. Had it poly coated as poly is much more durable than powder coating and has more of a rubbery feeling to it. I welded in vertical shelf rails along the backside so I can put customized mounts and shelves etc at any time. Brackets for the 4 American DJ power strips. And built a sump out of a 72x18x18 tank off of craigslist. I'm happy with how it's coming out. I'll post more pics after I install the new tank next weekend

Just got the family membership going and exploring the website. here is a pic of my tank. It's a 220g but fixing to be swapping it for a new 300G
