Tank heater disaster, need to sell

miaminemo · 10/03/2009, 07:10 AM

Guys -

My WON heater went berzerk last night and melted a hole in my sump. As a result Im looking to sell the whole setup.

As I have basically given up on the tank it no has nothing alive other than rock and small starfish, etc.

What I have -

90 gallon glass aquarium drilled with overflow in back corner
custom made stand/canopy.. cherry stained
all pumps
red sea skimmer
red sear CF 150 MH light setup (it has 2 old CF bulbs and 2 actinics in it)
~200 lbs of live rock
RO system from Lowes (3 tube setup)
GEO calcium reactor with 5 gallon co2 tank, regulator - whole setup.
lots of food, chemicals

Willing to sell for $1000 OBO

would prefer to sell as a whole setup, but really need to sell as I had to turn off pumps due to the hole in sump.

if you email me at miaminemo at yahoo dot com you might get a quicker reply.

You can pick up a cheap rubbermaid style container at Walmart, Lowes, etc. to get you back up and running. That way you don't have to make your decision so quickly, and you will be able to maintain any life you have in the system.

Ive been thinking about selling for a long time, this just makes it a necessity. Im getting married next year, and just cant afford the hobby anymore as much as I loved it.

Someone make an offer..

I remember when I had that problem I blamed it on a maxi jet I had modified but later found out wan heater malfunctioned and cooked my whole tank in a few hours. Sorry to hear your getting out. But for marriage you will be back you will need the stress relieve.

Is $1000 way too much to ask? I assumed this price would sell quickly..

You break it down and your getting a 90 gallon tank with stand for 200
2x150w MH light setup for 200
the geo calcium reaction with regulator, co2 tank, etc for 250 (steal)
200 lbs of rock at $1/lb
RO system for $100

so you'd only be spending $50 on all my pumps, food, live sand, skimmer, etc..

No offers? I need the money for the upcoming wedding so open to just about any reasonable offers..
