I've finally had to admit to myself that I've got more tanks than I want to take care of. This is getting to be a job. After a discussion with M@ry Ruth we have decided to cut back on the number of tanks. This is a 190 gallon that we have had set up since ’99. It is 5 ft long, 24 inches wide and 30 inches deep. Not reef ready or drilled.

Tank, stand, canopy
Dual 4 inch cooling fans in canopy
Overflow Box
Dual 275w MH fixtures - DE
175w MH socket/reflector - SE
Blue Line MH ballast – 250w
Galaxy MH ballast – 250w
PFO MH ballast – 175w
Dual VHO End Caps w/ IceCap 430 Ballast
Dual chamber Calcium Reactor w/ pH probe
Mag 2 recir pump for Calcium Reactor
CO2 regulator w/solenoid
20# CO2 Bottle
Turbofloter 1000 Protein Skimmer
Ocean Runner OR2500 pump for skimmer
Mag 9.5 return pump
Natural Wave Wave maker
HOB filter for carbon
3 Maxi-Jet 1200 Powerheads
Mini-Jet Powerhead
Sterlite tub sump
150 - 200 # Live Rock
2 - 3 inch Southdown sand bed
Some coral - Montipora - Pagoda Cup - Tongue, etc. - nothing real fancy

You come get it and move it. This thing is heavy. It will take 4 good men and I’m not one of them. This is everything you need for a nice reef tank in an all-in-one deal. $1800.

Also a Koralia Powerhead. Forgot about that.
 
Montipora palawanensis. But I don't know if he is selling it, except for little pieces :wink:.

--edit--
Oops. That's in the center, not the right. I try to show off my skills and flame out anyway. Oh well.

hey harry whats the sps green colony top right in the tank is it forsale?

ORA Green Bird Nest. I have frags of it for $10 but the whole colony is not for sale.
 
Do you know the flow rate?

No, I bought 3 or them several years ago and this is the only one left. I forgot all the specs on them. I will say that I wouldn't buy any more of them. The Sicce powerheads are much better.
 
Thanks.

My old Koralia 4 are doing well and I am happy with them.
I am thinking about adding another powerhead in the center. Koralia 4 is way too powerful there although I have a spare one (which I took out from the center for the very reason.) I suppose I can give Sicce Voyager 2 a try or replace one of the Koralias with a Vortech MP40...

I'm using the Voyager 7. One at each end of the tank pointing at the opposite corner. They do well with a wavemaker strip. One is always on while the other is off. Noise free and very dependable. The come with an insert to put over the end to make a wider stream instead of a concentrated stream. Without that they were moving the sand at the end of the tanks.
