Tom Aquatics Flow Meter - Needs to be cleaned - I have no idea if or how well it works - $3
Water Storage and Mixing Station - This water storage and mixing station mixes cost effective design with high functionality.  It uses Rubbermaid trash cans for water storage, however, it's more than just a couple of garbage cans.  It includes a industrial type float valve that you can hook up to your RO/DI system to always keep plenty of RO/DI water on hand.  There's a wood stand that allows you to stack the two cans to maximize your space.  The can used for water storage goes on the stand so that you can drain water from that can into the can below for mixing with salt.  The top can has a bulkhead , ball valve and plumbing installed so you can easily drain the water from the top can into the bottom can.  The bottom can has wheels on it so you can store/mix your water in one room, and when it comes time to use it, move the water to the location where you want it.  Add a heater and a pump to mix the water/pump the water out (heater and pump are not included) and your water storage and mixing station is complete. Price out the components of this system and you'll see that it's deal.  - $75
Red Sea Wavemaster Pro - This microprocessor controlled device controls four power heads in one of four different selectable modes - rolling, gentle, turbulent, or alternating.  If you're looking to get some more random flow in your tank but aren't interested in paying the price for EcoTech or Tunze controllable pumps, this might just be the option you've been looking for.  Instruction manual can be found here:  http://www.redseafish.com/languages...%5C184.pdf - $50

(SOLD via RC)Algaefree Hammerhead magnetic glass cleaner - These super-strong magnets are about the best you can buy for cleaning your glass.  Some other magnetic glass cleaners don't get the job done because their magnets are not strong enough, but you don't have to worry about that with the Algaefree cleaners.  Also, the outside piece is sealed oak so you don't have to worry about the big white plastic brick on your glass like with the other brands.  The pad on this are getting close to needing to be replaced, but are certainly functional.  Inexpensive replacement pads are available online. I have one of these for my display tank and I love it. - $35

(SOLD)Two Ecotech MP40w Vortech pumps - These pumps are Generation 2 pumps with the WWD drivers, not the ES drivers.  These include the original boxes, manuals, foam covers for the wetsides, mounting plates and zip ties, and of course, all components of the pump.  These are in excellent condition, have been fully cleaned and are ready to be put into your tank.  I have four of them on my main display tank and absolutely love them.  Pics below show all items in the condition that you will receive them.  Note that these are all items for both pumps so if you just buy one, you will get 1/2 of the items pictured.  Also, on the box, notice the silver seal.  This indicates that they are Generation 2 pumps.  The Generation 2 pumps feature improvements from Generation 1 in that the magnets have a better coating on them and withstand being submersed in saltwater better, improved bearings, upgraded firmware, etc.  Specifications listed below pictures.  $275 each or $525 for both.

(SOLD)Two 16" Spider reflectors - one with a Mogul socket, one without.  These are in OK condition.  The have some hooks on the back side of them and some putty on the reflector side of them covering the other side of the hook so it didn't rust.  Might be good for a frag tank or something.  See pics.  Both for $15.

(SOLD)Quiet One 4000 Submersible Water Pump - This pump needs a new ceramic shaft which will cost about $20.  I'm asking $15 for the pump so your total cost to get it running should be about $35.  It's in perfect shape cosmetically.  Specs are as follows

• Flow Rate: 1017 gph
  Inlet / Outlet: 1" MPT x 1" MPT
  Dimensions: 4.25" x 3.75" x 4"
  Max Head: 10.2 ft

(SOLD)AW-20 Aqualifter pump - Need I say more?  Pretty much the standard aqualifter pump that I've seen most people use.  It appears the cord has been repaired at one point as it has electricians tape on it.  - $7

(SOLD) Danner MAG 9.5  Submersible Water Pump - As you can see in the pic, there's some kind of stain of some sort (looks more like a glue or paint) that got on the pump.  It does not impact functionality.  $50

 

The two that are being sold here were purchased as Gen 2 units...no upgrades have been done.   These were purchased as part of a larger acquisition and I've never had them running in my tank, however, I did see them running and they ran without any issues. 
Mine (the four that I have on my tank) were all upgraded from Gen 1 units or MP20s.  I'm selling these because these are the ones that have the boxes and
everything, and my upgraded units are working just fine for me.

I'm no expert on this stuff, but I believe that a mogul socket is just like a regular light socket in that it doesn't matter what wattage you put thru it. What matters is matching your ballast to your bulb.

As for shipping, I can't give an exact quote, but I would expect it to be less than $10...more for the size of the box than the weight. They would be packed well, and shipped via the least expensive carrier, either USPS or FedEx.

If you want them, I would need at least a partial payment now to hold the item. It's unfortunate, but when you have a few people tell you that they will buy something, then never pay for it and pick it up, it ruins things for everyone else. The reflectors would be shipped after payment for the reflectors and shipping was paid in full. Contact me via PM for payment options.

Local buyers, hurry up if you're interested...the rest is going on RC tomorrow.
