I'm part way through this project and have been moving it around for a couple years. I'm not going to get to it, and am hoping someone else out there can.
It's a 90 gallon tank that I had turned on it's side so that it was shallower and could use T5HO lighting rather than halides, and still be great for a reef. I had intended to leave it open top as well.
I have built a custom stand that needs some finishing, but would hold up a house in the event of an earthquake, and will look amazing once complete. It's trimmed in oak that's stained a dark walnut, and I have bamboo hardwood flooring (light colour) all cut to size to fill in the middle section of the stand.
The filter is a 33G aquarium with three sections. First section is for a protein skimmer to sit in. There are some weirs built and the pump will be sitting in the second section. Upon water returning to the top, it is tee'd into the refugium on the right hand side of the filter which is where you would put plant life, snails, sand etc. This would be the primary filter for the aquarium. A small light would keep it growing. Quite often you can actually sell the plant life back to stores as it will grow so well in there.
I have multiple heaters (250W ebo jager and Won Brothers 350W Pro Heat II Titanium IC aquarium heater), pumps (mag 12 for recirc and mag 5 for protein skimmer as well as powerhead 802, a fluval 3 and a maxima air pump), and accessories for the aquarium. To finish the system, the plumbing needs to be done, and I had planned to buy a squid. I am happy to explain. Also, for the drain, I had planned to build durso standpipes to keep it nice and quiet. the overflow box is designed for 2 as redundancy is much better than a flood. Lights are the main item missing from the purchase, but my plan was for a 6 or 8 light T5HO setup that would be suspeneded above the tank.
Please email with questions, and I'll be happy to go through details if you're seriously interested. I have a lot invested, and just want to see it go to someone else who will finish it and use it. I have a bin full of parts that is not shown in the pictures.
$550 takes it all. Price reduced to $400

I'm trying to finish my condo to get it ready to sell, and this is taking up space. I realize I'm not going to get to it and would love an enthusiast to take this project to completion.
