I have the chance to buy this setup and am wondering if it's worth it. To me it sounds like a good deal but I don't know alot about the quality of Skimmers, MH lights, etc... Here's the add:
This is my 110 Gallon Dutch Aquarium Systems Reef tank D.A.S. all water was purchased and is DI/RO water. For filtration it has 2 internal dls coils and protein skimmer built in and works very very well.. my water test show it. The aquarium has a 300 watt titanium heater with external adjustment. It has 2 VHO 48" 110 watt actinic bulbs 3 months old also has 2 175 watt metal halide bulbs 2 months old. 570 total watts !!!! all setup on timers. the halide has 2 cooling fans that are thermostatically controlled. 120lbs of live rock figi and dense marshall . 5 large corals: 1 large metallic brain, 1 huge colt coral ,1 huge elegance, 1 large frog spawn and 1 large hammerhead. theres is about 5 more medium to small corals in here that i dont know the name of and about 10 mushrooms. live stock included are as follows a mandarin goby ,a yellow tang, a blue and yellow damsel . a mated pair of percula clownfish, dispar anthia, yellow scissor tail crab's snail's shrimp 1 huge red clam 1 small red clam 50lbs of live sand . the das system runs perfect and has been slightly modified for better circulation in the tank . I extended the output shafts to the center of the tank. I also have a wave maker in the middle of the tank. This is as problem free a setup as you can get!!! also included is 8 gallons of b-ionic chemicals for this aquarium calcium iodine etc etc. plus more stuff i have with this hobby books etc..i have atleast $4,500.00 invested in this setup alone!!!!!
They're asking around $1300 for it plus I'd have to drive about 7 hours to pick it up. Is that going to be a problem keeping everything alive that long or should I wait for something else to come along? Thanks!
