Selling my 180g setup with with everything you need to run a reef, have to get rid of fast so i am selling at a price to move.  I am the original owner of all my equipment and i take meticulous care of it.  I must sell because I am leaving for deployment soon and dont want to leave for the wife to take care of.  Selling as a whole because I dont want to deal with parting out, so $1200 takes the lot!

Whats included:

180g drilled dual overflow tank (no scratches) 

furniture grade stand and canopy

Current USA IC LED 72" light. (grew some softies and LPS with this) ($270 new)

40g breeder custom sump with baffles

Jebao DC return pump (super quiet!)

Super Reef Octopus protein skimmer ($400 new)

Kessil H380 refugium light ($300 new)

Two (2) Vortech MP40Ws with newer wet sides.  (one is quiet drive, one is older model)

200w heater x2

Complete saltwater mixing station, mixing pump is another Jebao DC pump that can be used as a backup should the tanks fail

all the testing, refractometer, plumbing supplies that a reefer who has been in the game almost a decade has accumulated.  also have a couple reactors with light use that i will throw in.

I live up in Gig Harbor WA, so i know it is a drive but i am willing to help or maybe deliver depending on where you live, will need some gas/time compensation if so.  $1200 OBO!

BUMP.  back in town for a little while, everything needs to go, $1400 takes it all!!!

Ok, gotta get this gone.  Hit me up with offers on equipment, willing to part with the lot for $1800 (what I paid for the tank) if someone jumps on it.  can help deliver if needed.

 Wish you were closer.  Might be interested if you have no other takers. 

Still available if you are still interested.

Breaking down my 180g, the last if the livestock listed below.  Rock was purchased dry from BRS and has been in my setup for over a year, no hitchhikers.  Need gone ASAP so I can start selling equipment so $100 gets it all!

Around 80-100 lbs of live rock

Devils hand leather

Toadstool leather

Duncan coral with ~8 heads

some green mushrooms and whatever sand/hermits that come with it. 

First come first serve.

All fish sold, updated post to include the corals left for sale.  Below is a pic of the Duncan.  I would like to drain the tank this weekend so if someone is willing to put a good offer on the corals/liverock left i will be willing to make a deal

It's a darn shame your so far away...


 

Yeah, looks like most of this group is down south, willing to help out with delivery/meeting halfway within reason (especially for a large purchase😜).

Updated pricing as well as added a few more items for sale, not downsizing anymore so everything must go!  Also, here is a few more pics of the livestock.

How long have you had the copperband for? What all does it eat? Is the mystery wrasse still available as well?

I have had the copperband for about a year now.  It eats anything I throw in.  My prepared food (mostly mysis and clams), and LRS prepared food as well.  Loves nori too.  Yes they are both still available.

Also, is the red mandarin a male of female? And what size is it?

The mandarin is female, pretty large, i would say maybe ~3" in length.

Let me know if you are interested, I will give you a deal if you get all three.

Some more/better pics of the fish for sale, need them gone before i can part out the equipment.  Prices are listed above, can talk a deal with anyone willing to take them all.

I am breaking down my 180g!  Would like to sell the whole setup, but if not then livestock must go first.  I have been the original owner of all the equipment listed and take meticulous care of it.  Fish are very healthy and eating well.  System has been up and running for a year now and is doing great, I must sell because of work and dont want to overly burden wife.

UPDATE:  all livestock is gone, equipment is broken down/cleaned and ready to go.  Looking to cut a deal on person who wants whole setup, can help deliver.

No, I am still looking. I have seen a couple tanks around 300 gal on FB. You might want to check there. I am not ready to go up that that volume.

Need two 180+ gallon units - preferably 210-300. Did you ever find a tank? 

I am in the process of selling my 180g complete setup (tank/stand/canopy/sump/equipment/livestock).  It wont be 'budget', but it will be a good deal for what you get, especially if someone is willing to take everything at once.  let me know if you want more details.

I love the look of rimless, however a braced tank is more practical, especially when you consider some type of canopy or screen to prevent jumpers.  One of my favorite tanks ever was my 60g framless Marineland... that thing was a beauty.

I have had similar experiences with my wife.  I am just glad that she tolerates me and the hobby enough to stick around 😜. 

I have tried on several occasions getting her own smaller tank setup, something easy to maintain that she could have a clown/nem setup or similar in there.  It works out well for the first few weeks but then I have found that they just end up being another one of my tanks haha.

Leathers are great corals, they said.  They wont grow too fast, they said.  haha.

Barrier Reef has kind of been my go to, there are a couple more in Seattle but i wasnt too impressed (and that is a longer drive for me, so maybe that is why).  also on the Peninsula there is 'The Shark Reef', not too bad and worth a pop in every now and again.  I dont buy too much anymore though.

Welcome to WA.  I live in the Gig Harbor area, looking forward to more WA reefers!  I too like shallow tanks, much prefer looking down at corals if I can.

top one kinda looks like a 'Miami Hurricane' chalice to me.  dunno about the bottom.  beautiful pieces though.

Nice, crazy how much florescence a UV light can bring out.  Beautiful corals you got there, love the pic of the Fungia.

So my first roll lasted me two months and I feed my tank twice a day and the corals 2 times a week. Each roll cost around $20 so I stocked up on black Friday. My total water volume is around 220 factoring in the rock.  I was washing and bleaching my filter socks on a weekly basis. The other question I get asked about is if it smells...I've never noticed an odor from it. It also helps to keep my water cleaner cause the waste is no longer sitting in the water until I change the sock. 

wow, two months.  I had no idea they could last that long, kind of winning me over on the idea of getting one of these... the every other day filters sock change and weekly wash is easy but gets old.
