...now I just need to know what to do with some of it. I read an short obscure ad in the paper about some scuba and aquarium gear for sale. Turns out that this guy bought a ton of equipment from a breeder that went belly-up. His wife wanted the "junk" out of the garage.
I started picking through the stuff, spot checking the function of things, and realized that I was just not going to make up my mind what I wanted. So I bought it all. I completely filled my Suburban with stuff. What I paid would bring tears to your eyes.
Here's a summary of the items:
An acrylic sump (40 gal.)
Several floor mount pumps (industrial strength units)
Several larger submersable pumps (Enheim 1200's)
Several float switches with outlets
Several medium to large fluid sand filters
A biotower
Several quart and gallon size canister filters (powered and unpowered)
A working UV sterilizer!!!
A digital temperature control unit
A digital PH monitor
Two extenral heater units
A dozen power heads
3 new 20gal AllGlass tanks
1 10gal tank
A dozen light hoods.
4 electric waver makers (PH power ocillators)
Several overflow boxed and misc tubing
What I think is equipment to do CO2 injection (it's in German so I can only guess)
2 (count'em) 2 MH ballasts and light fixtures
A bunch more miscellaneous stuff like tubing, valves, outlet timers, heaters...you can imagine. Everything in great condition.
After I beef up my three tanks, I'll sell off the other stuff. Anyone had any experience selling used equipment? Is ---- a good idea or too much hassle? Are there good places to post the stuff for sale?
Thanks!
