Very Advanced Reef Aquarium System with all components. I will explain first reason for selling, the mechanics, and finally the livestock. Reason for selling is a potential move upcoming which gives me 3 weeks to accept the job offer, and a couple months to find residence in area. The system itself? I am ashamed that I cannot take it with me. Years in the making, and finally done , the system holds investment of around 12 thousand dollars. Had it in an ad last year and turned down $3800 because this job offer wasn't set in stone. Now it is. The offer was before I built and added the waterfall system. 300 Gallons total.
Components and Mechanics:
The MAIN REEF DISPLAY Tank (Holding all Reef safe Fish) and corals with inverts is 120 Gallons. The tank itself is Reef Ready with 2 overflows and a Model 4 sump. The stand and canopy were designed with the stand to (((hugg))) the aquarium, so the aquarium actually sits inside the trim of the stand hiding the trim of the aquarium. the canopy does the same, and gives the aquarium a professional grade quality. The corners have 4 corner moldings that match the stand and give the main display a completely wrapped cabinet look. The lighting for the main reef 120 consist of (2) 250 W 13, 000K Metal Halides with (2) 96W Power Compact Dual Actinics. Lights bulbs recently replaced. The lighting is controlled by (2) timers that regulate day and night simulation. The display lights turn on at 3:00 PM starting with actinics and are joined at 4:00 PM with the Halides. At 11:00 PM the main lights turn off leaving actinic blue for an hour and the systems lighting sleeps from 12 midnight until the next light cycle. The timers a programable and time can be changed easily for your viewing. The 120 also has 2 high quality circulation pumps in the main reef that give extra current. LIVESTOCK in the main reef include: 1 Hippo Tang, 1 - 8 Line Wrasse, 1 Tomato Clown in his Host Long Tenticle Anemone, 1 Flameback Pygme Angel, Giant Clam , 2 Fire Shrimp, 1 Peppermint Shrimp, 1 colony of green zooanthids, many scattered colonies of zoos different genera, A very large count of fancy mushroom colonies that spread from 2 large rocks that were purchased 4 years ago. 1 EXTEREMELY LARGE Waving Hand Coral Colony of 2 different species sharing the same rock large (very awesome piece), 1 large fiji liverock with 3 Hawaiian Feather dusters that embedded themselves in the old worm holes in the rock and have been there 3 years. Too many corals to list, really need to come see or call and I can E-Mail pictures if needed. This system alone is worth well over the $2900 I am asking not including the components to the system I will explain in detail: 200LBS Liverock Fiji.
Refugiums (2) components and Livestock:
2 refugiums are on a custom stand that is positioned to the right side of the main display tank 120. It feeds water from the main 120 sump and returns water via gravity after refill. the refugiums have been painstakingly drilled for syphon stop in the event of a power outage, meaning the refugiums will not drain empty in the event of a power outage. The main refugium is the bottom, where it holds home to a goby and his partner shrimp. they live in a large burrow they made under a large barnicle. The top refugium I have seeded with 3 different algae that is growing. The top refugium draws water from the bottom refugium in a sort of "dual action" refugium, and returns water to the main sump via gravity. Also the top refugium has a built in skimmer that is plumbed to a reservoir that holds access skimming waste. i empty it once every couple weeks. The stand to the refugiums is water tight in the electric area where it holds both ballasts to the lighting system for the reef.
Left Side Filtration and water purification
On a stand that I made holds (2) 40G tanks that when put side by side are square. The tank in back is drilled and plumbed to recieve water from the 120G display taks main sump, and return water right back via gravity. The second tank is storage for RO-DI water. I will explain that system later. Fisrst the 40G additional sump area. This tank holds extra area to employ a few important functions. First is Hydor Performer Protien Skimmer. The Hydor s placed in the sump area and constantly skims the water of protiens, providing cleaner water through the system. The Hydor is a very nice system. In conjunction with the Hydor Skimmer is the use of (Call Mike at (920) 680-6970 for E-Mail of full Ad. Didn't fit)
