I am leaving the hobby due to re-occurring back problems and can no longer maintain my last tank. I will be posting equipment as it becomes available. As of now I have the following;

4 week old Vertex Omega 180i skimmer bought brand new for $400 shipped and insured.
Brand new still in the box Fluval SP2 pump for $80 shipped.
5 week old Tunze 6045 (flow is adjustable, not controllable) for $60 shipped.

I will create a Rd.2 for my lights and Tunze 6095's and 7095 controller (right now still in use until my live rock and coral are gone).
Hate to leave the hobby but I'm no spring chicken anymore and my back is not getting any better. PM me if interested in any of the items. Shipping is to the lower 48 States only.

Why don't you try a nano? Very easy to maintain, I mix my water in gallon jugs now instead of 5 gallon buckets or trash cans.. In 15 minutes or less I can clean my skimmer, change my filter mediums and do a 1 gallon water change.. the only thing I'm lifting is the gallon jug.. I have back issues also and after retiring a few years ago I decided to set up a nano so I can still enjoy the hobby without as much work or maintenance cost involved.
 
Never though about that angle. It would be different going from a large tank to a smaller tank.
 
One Tunze 7095 Controller, bought Jan 20th 2016 brand new. Comes with all the cables, everything works like new, $150 shipped

"No spring chicken?" maybe physically. But you're still a kid at heart, eating those Cocoa Puffs.
 
I didn't think anyone would notice. My grand daughter eats them more then me (I eat healthy, yogurt in the morning and the rest of the day anything I want, haha).
