Well I just talked to a guy who is friends with my little sister and little brother. I'm buying his complete set up for $200. I'm going to use most of the stuff on my tank, and probably end up selling what I don't use. I'd like to set up another tank for an angler or maybe a mantis but I don't want to do a full 65gal tank, so maybe if I find something a bit smaller I will. Here's what I'm getting and hopefully I can get my pictures set up right and working, I think I just need to rename them, as I might have some with the same name. I'll try to get them posted in the next day or two.
The Tank-
65 gallons (but 80-85 with the refugium)
48in. x 15in. x 17in.
Power Compacts Flourescent lighting system includes white, blue and moonlight bulbs and 24 hour cyclical timers. New bulbs are needed
Tank rests on 8 black cinder blocks; the refugium is easily accessible below
HUGE Protein skimmer powered by a Sedra Power Head KSP-5000
Main Pump is a Model 9.5 B Utility Pump
The tank is hooked up to multiple power strips arranged on a 4x4 behind the tank. There are plenty of outlets
Refugium also includes a carbon particle filtration bag and other filtering sponges in addition to a whole section devoted to natural filtration by sand, seaweed and live rock with its own lighting system
A bamboo screen covers the refugium
The whole system is accurately monitored by a ProHeat II IC Aquarium heater which will keep the tank within temperature tolerances of fractions of a degree
2 ZooMed PS 40 Power Heads provides a strong current in the tank
Also included are 2 algae scrapers and lots of piping, sponges, carbon filtration particles, a professional API test kit, PH buffer supplements, and some fish food
Fish and Corals
One mature Gold Banded Maroon Clownfish, 4 ¼ in. long.
3 Narcissus Snails and multiple crabs
Purple Mushroom corals
Various volunteer sponges and tube worms and feathers from the live rock
Approximately 70 lbs. of live Fijian rock- the rocks are experiencing a small seasonal macro-algae bloom which is in fact beneficial for many species of fish such as Tangs, or other invertebrates.
Approximately 50 pounds of live sand- it rests about 2 ½ inches deep in this size tank
