I'm not quite as young as I used to be and the time has come to cut back on the number of tanks I'm trying to maintain. M@ry Ruth and I have discussed it and we think the 190 will be the first to go. This is a complete system that is running now and is supporting a full blown reef.

190 gallon (60L x 24W x 30D) with stand and canopy with fans.
Reliable Overflow box (does not lose syphon or overflow)
150 - 200 # Live Rock w/sponges, worms, pods, etc. Plus a few corals and encrustation from corals that were removed
250 # Live Sand
4 MaxiJet Powerhead with NaturalWave Wavemaker for circulation
DIY LED lighting system with 136 Cree XT-E emitters in 3 distinct groups
Mag 2 return pump
Large DIY Calcium Reactor with Geo secondary chamber. Mag 2 recirc pump. MaxiJet supply pump.
20# CO2 cylinder with regulator
Turbofloter Protien skimmer with OceanRunner OR2500 recirc pump and MaxiJet supply pump
TLF Phosban 150 media reactor for GFO
HOB Filter for carbon
2 300W Heaters
Dual Float Switch for ATO with 2 Aqua Lifter pumps
DIY Arduino based controller with 40 x 4 display and 12 key keypad
Features:
Monitor water temp and turn on/off fans or heaters to maintain a constant temp
Monitor LED temp and turn on/off fans to prevent overheating
Monitor pH in Calcium Reactor to turn on/off CO2 to maintain a constant pH to control Alk
Monitor water level in sump and turn on/off ATO
Real time clock to schedule LED photoperiod
Ramp up/down LEDs according to schedule in 256 increments from 0% - Preset Maximum
Manual LED on with timed shut off
Display Temp high/low for the day as well as historically
Display Calcium Reactor pH and CO2 on/off status
Display LED percentage by individual strings
All of these parameters can be set/adjusted/changed from keypad entry. A power failure will not lose any setting you have selected.

Located in Huntsville, AL. You move it. It will take 4 able bodied people (and I'm not one of them).

$1600- Cash & Carry
