I'm selling my highly upgraded Oceanbox PG1 in very good to excellent condition. It was run for about 8 months before I took it down to move. The tank has been thoroughly cleaned with citric acid wash and is ready to use. Sale includes the following:

- OB PG1 micro tank with stand and original light (mostly blue spectrum). Tank is in great shape with limited normal wear / minimal scratching. Note, I removed the back wall of the stand so larger items can fit under the stand (power strip, plugs etc.). Photos show the tank with upgraded Reef Breeders light noted below.
- Optional: Reef Breeders V2 Reef Pico light. This light has a built in timer and is more powerful than the original light with customizable spectrum. $230 with this light or $200 with stock light only.
- Custom gravity ATO. I made a prototype and then had it professionally made at Tap Plastics. Works great and lasted about 2-3 days on average for me. Cost was $175 to have this custom made.
- Chiller fan added to top of over flow cover. Has a variable speed control and works great.
- I added a power strip inside the stand so that only 1 cord exits the back while all components plug inside the stand for a clean look. The power strip is attached with silicon adhesive so may be difficult to remove. Has 3 plug outlets and 2 USB.
- Includes the original return pump and 2 brand new backups of same type.
- Includes upgraded 10w heater and brand new backup heater.
- Oceanbox designers micro algae scrubber included.
- Oceanbox Designs flow booster
- USB switch installed inside stand for return pump.

The tank ran beautifully and I was able to grow out a nice softy micro reef with relative ease. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Yep, I have the ReefBreeders light listed in a separate post as well - $60 shipped for the light on its own.

Thanks

Time for a new home... make a reasonable offer and its yours...extra goodies not listed included... you won't be disappointed.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS BEING SOLD WITH THE STOCK LIGHT ONLY... NOT THE REEF BREEDERS LIGHT SHOWN ON THE TANK IN THE PICTURES... sorry for the confusion... the reef breeders light is available in a separate ad).

I am up for the challenge and this bundle arrived today! I want to give a positive feedback for CMO because they endured everything was packed up secure and safe, and answers some questions I had promptly. CMO also stuffed any extra space in the box with extras that will come in handy once the tank is setup.
Spare heaters, spare pumps, spare fan parts, lots of nano size mesh media bags, two pico magnetic frag shelves, nano sized Chemipure, a glass scraper, a bag of nano size frag plugs and rock rubble.

I was so happy to find this tank and to buy it, and I had a pretty good idea what I bought. But as I unboxed and pulled out freebie after freebie my expectations kept getting exceeded. Kudos to CMO, and a big public thank you.
