Hello,

About a year ago a gentleman in my area passed away and his wife decided to sell off all of her husband's aquarium equipment, but it was an all or nothing thing. She wanted it all gone. I had just contracted to build a house that was to be completed in 4 - 6 months so I decided to buy it all and put it in storage until the house was completed. Well, the contractor had trouble focusing just a bit and the house took 14 months! That ate up a tone of money in storage costs and condo rent that was supposed to be short time. I now am unable to finish out the basement (and glorious fish room!) where the tanks to be set up (in-wall). Anyway, all of it is still in storage and I, like the man's wife, just need it gone. I've already spent more storing it than it cost me to buy it which makes me sick. I bought everything he had for $1500 and will sell it all for the same. Here's what's included (pictures to follow):

  • 300 gallon custom tank with stand
  • 150 gallon tall (drilled) with stand and cabinetry
  • 72 gallon bowfront (drilled)
  • ~150 gallon sump
  • numerous lighting fixtures including LED, T5, and LED-T5 combos
  • large skimmer for 300
  • normal sized skimmer for 150
  • 500+ pounds of rock
  • numerous powerheads, heaters, etc.
  • big Reeflo pump
  • etc., etc.
Lots of stuff. 20 x 10 storage container full. Ridiculous amount of stuff for $1500. I'll stop by this evening and take some pictures. I had plans of putting that 300 in-wall with the room behind it. Oh well. Best-laid plans of mice and men and all that. I hope someone else can take advantage of the deal. Not interested in parting it out. All or nothing deal so I can get out from under the storage payment. My name is Wade and I can be reached at 423-306-2161.

I also live in JC so you should be tempted!!! Let me know if you want to come take a look at the stuff. It's a stupid amount of stuff for the money.

I just sent you a PM if this is not already sold I will buy it. Do you have dimensions on the 300 tank?
I have truck and trailer and I'm ready to do the drive.

Here's pictures of the stuff in storage. Been getting a lot of PMs! Here's the dimensions of the 300 for those who have asked: 84" x 23" x 29". The 150 is 72" x 18" x 28.5". Oh, looks like the 300 was drilled for a coast-to-coast overflow so no overflows in the tank!! Interestingly enough, the original owner did not use a coast-to-coast and just ran pipes out of the back which was weird, but as you can see in the pics there's no overflows inside. My plan was build the coast-to-coast myself and set it up like the guy with the Glass Reef.


Thank you all for your questions and PMs.
