150 gallon system for sale (Fraser Valley)

Entire System for Sale

Added Dec 15: There are 8 professionally made Maple cabinet doors with european hinging on the system. So if you want them as well for building a stand you can have them. They could stand some sanding and recoating though.

I was diagnosed with an incurable non lifethreatening disease but extremely painful one a year and a half ago and it has continued to progress to the point where I can no longer care for my reef tank.

So after being in the hobby for about 30 years I need to call it quits. . . . and so I need to sell the entire system. I live in East Chilliwack and the person(s) who purchases the system will have to bring help with him to take the system apart as I can no longer assist much in anything physical.

The Tank is between 140 - 150 gallons. It's not quite 60" long but is 24" W x 24"H. It is a Hagen tank and it does not have Eurobracing but rather one glass brace across the middle. Glass has no scratches to speak of. I don't think there are any scratches. I was always careful about that. There are two bulkhead drilled in the bottom of the tank on one side of the tank as my tank was framed in wall between rooms. The system is predominately a SPS Tank. Though there are some LPS and some mushrooms and zoos that have grown back.

The system includes
Tank (with drilled bottom, plexiglass overflow with foam on it, looks great)
Mag 1800 return pump
Mag 1200 skimmer pump
DIY Injector skimmer (built as per plans found on net, works fine)
DIY Plexiglass sump (approx 40 gallons)includes Kent float valve and numerous baffles and areas for filter materials.
Heater (I think 300 watt)
2 - Son Agro 430 watt ballasts (great for european bulbs, radiums, 20K & 10K) (The reflectors I have are nothing special, you might want to get some nice ones)
175watt Hamilton ballast and mogul w/reflector
PFO retrofit for VHO lighting up to 2 bulbs - 110 watt each
Either one or two brand new 10k XM 400 watt bulbs will be included.
Pinpoint pH meter
Aquatic Essentials Calcium reactor with 10lb tank, etc. (solenoid needs replacing) but that is only needed for power outages. The mag7 pump could be replaced as well with maybe a mag 3.
Seio powerhead (It's a big one, I forget off hand which size)
Algae Magnet.
Various plumbing, fittings, tubing, included.
(I have a basically brand new SCWD kicking around I could throw in too, if I can find it and you want it)

Yellow Tang
Cleaner Wrasse (eats, flakes and everything else)
Breeding pair of common clowns (spawn every two weeks)
Regal Tang (eats like a pig and still growing)
3 Bangaii Cardinals **** (might keep them for my daughters tank)



LPS
Frogspawn - green with pink tips
Hammer coral
Torch coral - long tentacles brown with nice bright yellow tips
Turbanaria
(might have missed something)

Softies

Purple Mushrooms attached to overflow
Some other mushrooms around
Corky finger (I think that's what it's called)
Some green star polyps
one has overgrown into a gorgeous SPS coral <grrr> It's needs to be pruned back. Unfortunately I can't do this anymore.
Some various zoos have popped up here and there in the reef

Probably 100lbs of rock. Not too sure. I started with way more but kept pulling more out as more space was needed over the past 4 years for my sps which was growing like mad.

One beautiful blue Crocea Clam

SPS

1 Purple milli is getting huge
I have a gorgeous dark blue one and a teal and some other blues
Some other various colors
Large bright green monti cap
Fairly large brown with some purple monti cap
Pink birdsnest
Fairly Large Green hydnophora
Green Digitata (I might have some orange and purple left too, not sure)
These things need to be fragged again as they are getting big
There are some others that are escaping my mind.

I've hardly done a thing with this tank for 6 months. There are a few tufts of algae that will easily be taken care of with dismantling and setting up again. It just needs some hobbyist to put some time into it. Don't get me wrong the tank overall looks good. But I'm used to my old standard and what it can look like. But my hands and arms don't work well, so I have been forced to neglect it.

**Remember there is no stand with this system as this was an in wall system**

***Newly Added*** You can have all my professionally made MAPLE cabinet doors if you want to help you make a stand if you like. That's 8 doors with european hardware.

The system is still running and is waiting for someone to take it home. I really don't look forward to that day. But it's for the best for these beautiful creatures.

$2000 and it's yours could be a nice Christmas present.
I just want to get this system out ASAP

I want to sell the system in it's entirety. I don't have the energy or strength to sell things separately. I need someone who will take the entire system off my hands at once.

Thanks, Bill
