    I'm selling my Reef Tank that never came to fruition; my loss is your gain. I'm located in Saint Charles, Iowa. I work in West Des Moines, so I can meet you if needed.


    Most of the parts are brand new and have never had water running through them.


    I will sell all for $1000 or individually.


    This is well over $3000 worth of equipment; I just don't have the time to complete it. I have pictures of everything listed if you want them.

    Are you parting out? Where are you located? I am in need of a refractometer. Also, what kind of water containers are those/ Stock tanks? Or are they just totes? I am interested in the two of those as well, depending on what they actually are /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif Add on the pvc too LOL. WHat do you have in that box?

    Basically $1000 takes it all, but I'm also willing to part it out. The water containers are I believe are Rubber maid and have been drilled one at the top and the other at the bottom. My plan was to used one for fresh RODI and the other for mixing salt. The box of PVC includes several large unions, ball valves, elbow, etc. You can email me at jdowney10@hotmail.com for pictures. I will try to post some soon.

    Still didn't mention your location /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif
    Are the containers tubs like you would buy at Wal-Mart or are they food grade? I will shoot you an email.

    Bit of a drive for me, but I would take all of the things I inquired about above pending pics. I sent you an email. I would also be more than happy to bring anything back to Ames for anyone that wants anything, assuming this doesn't sell as one big package.

    Dangit Bela, I was going to call dibs on that an was trying to PM him at the same time. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    I call the tronics, and the sump if Bela doesn't want it.

    Also, if you can work it out with him, I can haul your stuff back to WDM, so it's not as bad of a drive for you.

    I honestly have never ran water through the sump. It is already plumbed for the tank. I did add the glass baffles. Not the nicest looking thing, but I'm sure it would work.

    Hey that would be nice /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
    Jdowney, I know I said pass on the pvc parts, but the pics is a lot bigger that you uploaded so I can see them better. I can for sure use a bunch of them so I would take it.

    So my "order":
    Sump
    2x Water Storage Tubs
    Refractometer
    PVC parts

    Should be $40? LMK.

    I just wanted to let you know that the black PVC parts are painted with Krylon Fusion that is supposed to be Reef safe (I'm sure there are other opinions). I also have about 15-20' of black flexible PVC as well if you need it.

    Weekdays after 3:30pm in Des Moines work best, but I could make accommodations for the weekend if need be. $40 is correct.
