Default FS: tank/sump/equipments (calgary)

I am downgrading so I am selling my tank. Please visit my signature link to see images.

TANK: 40"x20"x20" custom made (by Concept about 2months ago) with starfire front panel and herbie overflow.

Sump: 20 gallon with one bubble trap making two chambers (one for skimmer and chaeto and another for return).

Custom made stand without any skin.

Tank + sump + plumbing + stand = $400 (Its OBO but I won't take any "very low" offer since the tank itself cost almost that and the plumbing cost me close to $200)

Speedwave 790gph pump, about 2 months of use (still have the receipt, just need to search for it). $90

Jebao WP40 + variable power source. $80

Jagger 150w heater. 2 months of use. $15

PM for details. Everything will be available for pickup next week but can visit the tank while running to see the equipment.

Sorry to hear that you are selling your tank. It's a shame to see you down grade, I hope ou change your mind and stick it out. Good luck anyways.

I know but things are just not in my favor. Corals and fishes not doing well can be taken care off but when things keep on burning, its a total headache which I cannot take right now as my deadline for thesis approaches I will be back with something bigger someday

Good point Denny My 20 gallon never gave me this much headache over its course that this tank is giving in just 2 months. And its not about how easy or hard it is, its just becoming dangerous

Seriously!!!

So when the heater or powerhead goes on the 20g. You going to downgrade to a Betta bowl.

My tanks not to **** hot right now but it takes time. Equipment fails. Weather it's a 1 gallon tank or 1000.

The tank is becoming expensive to maintain too. I am already at the end of a 225 gallon bucket in just these 2 months. Large amount of carbon. Pumps are burning. I always feel like buying more fish (more money!). Makes me wanna bang my head with the tank! Not to mention all the trouble that I will have to go through to move the house to new home (if the new home even allow such big tank)

I know how you feel. Some times this hobby can be really draining. Both on your patience and your wallet. Thats why i've set up and taken down so many tanks in my day lol.

Yeah I here ya. I shut down my big tank to put more money into house. Personally I like my small tanks more.
