This is an established reef that's been running strong for more than 4 years. It's a turnkey system complete with networked APEX controller, dual dosing pumps for calcium & alkalinity supplementation, 250W 20K metal halide lighting + T5 supplements, algae scrubber filtration with custom LED, Super Reef Octopus cone skimmer, and so much more. Other than occasional water changes (almost 2 months between them for me usually), fresh water top-off, and replenishing the calcium/alkalinity supplements, this tank runs on its own!

Here's what's included:
- 90 gallon Oceanic with off center overflow (48"L x 18"D x 24"H)
- Mission style cabinet & hood
- (2) Hamilton 250W metal halide magnetic ballast (HQI)
- (2) Flourescent T5 HO with Fulham 10375 WH5-120-L Fulham WorkHorse 5 Ballast
- Eshopps RS-300 sump
- Eheim 1262 (return pump) + backup
- Super Reef Octopus XP-2000 Cone Skimmer
- (2) ViaAqua 250 Watt Titanium Heater w/Controller
- (1) Vortech MP40W ES
- APEX reef controller: (1) EB8, (1) EB4, breakout box, temp/pH probes
- (2) Bulkreefsupply doser modules
- Algae Scrubber with custom LED lighting (only front side lit)
- ATO controlled via APEX
- Lots of well-established liverock, some coral pictured (plenty of SPS will remain)

I'm upgrading to a larger aquarium so will be taking most of the larger coral although I'll be leaving a substantial footprint of each piece that will easily grow back in no time (worth $1,000+). Most of the coral in the tank has been grown from 2-3" frags. All of the seasoned live rock will remain in the tank.

Located in Norwalk, CT (local pickup please). Not parting out at this time. The tank doesn't run without the parts you're going to bug me about (APEX, MP40, skimmer, etc.)...

Asking $4,200
 
So, you're telling me this is going to be a hard sell, eh? Man... perfect setup for someone transitioning to a larger tank. It's super low maintenance. I've just run out of space to keep my fancy stick habit going!!
 
Beautiful reef though! :)
 
OK, some package options.

Package 1: Tank/Cabinetry/Lights+Ballasts - $700

Package 2: P1+Sump/Eheim/Scrubber/Heaters/MP40 - $1,300

Package 3: P2+Skimmer - $1,600

Package 4: P3+APEX/Dosers/Eheim (backup) - $2,100

I'm eager to sell the display wet as the overflow is covered nicely with GSP and there's a good portion of the back wall covered with blue Sympodium. Shame to let that stuff die!!
 
Nice tank! Can I ask the ID of some of the fish you have in first pic? Some type of foxface, and the other two on the left and top left?
 
Thanks and of course! They are, clockwise from the Desjardini Sailfin Tang, (F) Swallowtail Angel (Genicanthus melanospilos), Yellow-bellied Hippo Tang, mated pair of wild Percula Clownfish, Orange Shoulder Tang (juveniles are all yellow), Magnificent Foxface, and finally a Majestic Angel (which is face on). There's also a little Blue Sapphire Damselfish in the way back but it's difficult to see at the top of the photo.

(all fish NFS, just as a reminder for folks ;) )
 
Tank has been broken down and I'll be starting a separate thread for part out items. Will keep you in mind for MP40 if you're still interested by the time I put these things up for sale. Need to take inventory...

In the mean time, I still have a good deal of seasoned live rock with various encrusted corals available for free. Local only though (Norwalk, CT).
 
Dang, that's such a shame. Its unfortunate that full set ups are hard to sell as this was a beaut! If you start a new thread for part out, please leave a link in this post, thank you! And GLWS!
