Hi, my name is Seth and I've decided to get out of hobby. I've sold off about half my items so far. My wife and I just had our 3rd child, so I don't have time to properly take care of my tanks anymore. I will be listing the rest of my items shortly, but these are the large items that I cannot ship. Therefore they are for pickup only.

***All items listed here are for local pickup only. They are far too heavy to ship.

I live in Northeast PA at zip 18222. Two hours from NYC or Philadelphia.

1. 120 Gallon Display Tank and Custom Oak Stand - 48"x 24"x 24" 120 gallon Display Tank, with built in overflow. I had the oak stand custom made and it is solid and heavy. There are two doors in the front and the side panel can be removed to access or install a sump. The side door is held in place with a magnet system. I paid $420 for the tank and $1000 for the stand. I am not splitting these up, they must be sold together. I am asking $750 total for both.

2. 40 Gallon Breeder Sump - Nothing fancy, just a 40 gallon breeder with 3 chambers separated by plexiglass bubble traps. I used this under the tank listed above. It's not the prettiest but it gets the job done. I've layered all the seams of the tank with extra silicone for added strength and longevity. The left chamber was my overflow and where my skimmer sat, center was the return, and right was where i grew my chaeto algae. - $40

3. Acrylic Frag Show Tank - SOLD - 20 x 20 x 8 - Used 4 times at shows. Pretty much brand new. Was always in storage when not being used for a show. Acrylic Frag Racks included. - Sell for $150 (Paid $250) (pumps not included)

4. Live Rock - Tonga Shelf Rock, Cured Dry Rock, and Rock Rubble. I weighed it and there are over 125 lbs. All rock has been cleaned and cured.. I have even more than what is pictured here. - $2.50/lb (minimum 20 lbs per purchase) If you want it all I'll give it to you for $2.00/lb.

5. Saltwater Mixing Station - SOLD - Included are two (2) - 35 gallon tanks (paid $100 each), plumbing with 4 - 1" Cepex Ball Valves (Paid $25 each), and an Iwaki MD-30RXT-115NL Pump. (Paid $235 for this pump). I used the top tank to store RODI water. Then moved it down to the bottom tank where I mixed the saltwater. From there I used the hose to do water changes, etc. I also used this to fill up my auto top off system with the freshwater. The shelf is not included. **Due to the way this sits on the shelf, I will have to cut the PVC in 1 place so you can take this out. It can easily be put back together with a PVC coupler. This will also allow you to adjust the length of the piping to fit your shelves. In total I have over $500 in this equipment. I will sell it for $300.

I can't ship the frag tank. First it would cost too much, its heavy... And I'm afraid it would get damaged in shipping. Not exactly an easy thing to ship...

Its pickup only... Unless you're willing to pay for shipping.. I can tell you that a 40 lb. box will cost almost as much to ship as you pay for the rock...
