How much do you think this is worth?

[joyful23]

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what the following would be worth. I believe it is all new...never used.
150gal. 5 x 2 x 2, predrilled w/ bulkheads
Stand/Canopy
Icecap 660 VHO
Dual 250W Metal Halides with reflectors and elec. ballasts
Iwaki 40RLT (which I believe does about 1000gph)
Two 30lb unopened bags of CaribSea Aragonite sand

Just a stab in the dark.. I'd say 2 grand....
Oh, stand and canopy too, I'd say atleast 3 grand then

I remeber seeing this setup by aw2 couple days ago its a heck of a deal........i bought a 100 gal tank from someone whom he traded a 300 gal acrylic and its a beatiful tank......i hope to some day trade or buy a tank from him....... and as stated above brand new all that stuff would go for somewher between 2-4 grand atleast depending on brands and style

Thanks. Ok...now stupid question...what is the 660 VHO? I'm new so...?

 

[ohioguy06]

I do believe he is refering to an icecap ballast with 660 watts of vho lighting which is fluorescent tubes.

 

[joyful23]

Ah ha! Gotcha. What about the Iwaki 40RLT?

 

[ohioguy06]

Iwaki pumps imo are good......never used them but have sold them to customers before.....and hadnt had any bad feed back.

 

[joyful23]

So is this the powerheads or the actual filtering pump?

The iwaki is a pump that you use as your return from the sump.

$1100! I just got back from looking at it. WOW!!! It's a huge setup. Custom made stand and canopy. HUGE!!! I'm going to have to measure to see if it will fit. John has a beautiful 40 gal with tons and tons of great corals! I'm jealous! Maybe one of these days I'll have the same.

Thats a good buy. I'd guess that to be a $2200 value if we were on The Price is Right.

I'm glad you got to see everything and you think it's as nice as I do.
It's a hell of a deal...as I said, if I had room for it, I wouldve taken it.

What does "pre drilled" refer to?

 

[talath]

Pre drilled means that there are already holes in the glass to receive bulkhead fittings that will allow water to overflow into another container below the main tank referred to as a sump.
