    I just bought a full system off of someone who was moving and couldn't take it with him. It's a 75 gallon setup with everything needed. A few highlights are a 6 bulb t5 system, built in sump, live rock, gorgeous tangs, black clown, and a lot of coral. Easily worth $1,800 when it's all pieced out. I'm on my phone or I'd post pics and more info here. It's really nice! Asking $1,400 or best offer. See more details here: http://iowacity.craigslist.org/for/4574546687.html

    I'm in north liberty right now until 11 pm and then it will be going to Cedar Rapids. Feel free to text or call for more info at 641-919-5189.

    So you just bought this system for $1000 or less, and you are trying to flip it here for $1400?

    Paid more than that. This system is awesome! I just don't have the room for it. He is moving and couldn't take it so I helped him out.

    6 bulb T5 lighting system - $200
    Reef Octopus Protein Skimmer - $100

    The scooter and the black clown are spoken for. I'm not sure what kind of eel it is, it's black and white but isn't a zebra. He's about 6-8 inches long right now, really awesome to watch! It's the first one I've ever owned.

    The reef octopus is a BH-1000. I'm going to clean it all up tonight so it looks new.

    I asked the guy what brand/color the bulbs were. He said off hand that they were 2 true actinic, 1 royal blue, 2 12k cool white, and 1 pink coral max growth bulb. He was going to check and text me back for sure when he got home.

    The fixture is an aquatic life fixture. And I have the cords/cables to hang it from the ceiling.

    Thanks! And it's rated up to 125 gallons. I guess I'm not sure how big your tank is.

    I'm really looking to move this tank/stand quickly as they're taking up too much room in my apartment.
