    Your rock turned out nice!  I think I might like it, but need to know how much you have?  Looking to partially fill a 135g tank and we're about 2 hours away or so.  Willing to ship any of the smaller things?

    I have around 300lbs. I have written the weight on a sticker on each rock. You should be able to zoom in. I can ship it, but I will have to charge extra to cover it.

    I would also recommend soaking longer and testing your water before adding to an existing tank. I offer no insurance on the rock as there is a chance it could adversely impact your water chemistry.

    The rock consists of crushed coral, oyster shell and white or gray concrete. I believe the concrete is QuickCrete or Portland.

    Ok, thanks for the quick reply! I was referring to your other items when I asked about shipping; wouldn't expect you to ship 300# of rock /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif $75 for all the rock is a great deal, even if it needs to be cured.......I'll ask my hubby what he thinks about a road trip this weekend.

    Alright. I would probably try to shoot for Friday afternoon then, just gotta check with Sofiya. Let me know if you are decided on parting out. Don't want to push you in either direction, but also don't want to miss out on those items /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    I'm parting it out, although I'm still open to offers to take what isn't crossed off.

    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 consider offers to buy all the remaining equipment.


    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.

    1. Basement framing services

    2. Used car that runs (Honda or Toyota)

    3. Used Jon Boat

    The pumps are pending a sale today. If the pumps don't sale, I would take $750 without the pumps $650.

    My bad, you were talking about all the man made rock. I would take $75 for all of it. Keep in mind this isn't live rock and will need additional curing and seeding.

    I just wanted to say I appreciate the great deals. I picked up the stuff on Friday and, frankly, I got a lot more than I thought I would be getting. Aside from things being a little dusty, they are great. I would have paid for the refractometer alone what I paid for everything you gave me. If you guys are thinking about buying anything and are fearing the prices are too good to be true, don't give it a second thought. Buy it before someone else does! I haven't seen the tank/stand/rock in person, but I trust that it is in as good condition as he says. I am bummed about the reef rock tohough. I just made a bunch of my own and it ended up costing me right around what he is asking for it. Could have saved myself a LOT of work. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif

    The icecap 250 balasts are 220v right? So they won't plug into a regular outlet correct?

    Matt they need a 220 volt outlet or need to be hardwired into a 220 volt feed.
