I wish a package like this were available three years ago when I built my system!
I am selling a complete 75g RR setup including rock and inhabitants. I built this system using the best materials and parts I could find. Someone is going to do very well with this.
Let me say right off the bat that this is an ICH FREE TANK. I have always QT'd everything including corals and inverts, so as long as you do the same you shouldn't have to deal with ich in this display.
See the back wall of the tank in the picture below? All that coraline algae grew there on its own. Believe it or not, the back of the tank glass has a sheet of (removable) black vinyl. But the coraline in this system has grown so nicely that you can't even see it! This should give you an idea of the health of this system.

Now for the details and more pictures..
DRYGOODS

-All Glass Aquarium (AGA) 75 gallon MegaFlow Reef Ready aquarium with oak trim - no dyes were ever used in the tank, so the silicone is clear and undyed. No scratches on glass. Eggcrate top.
Included is a genuine Durso pipe, bulkheads, and flexible PVC pipe/tubing and fittings for overflow, and return pump. You can also attach the included filter sock (use is optional).
-Custom built high quality solid oak hardwood stand made from cabinet grade oak, with quality gold knobs and electrical control panel inside. The control panel includes a GFCI outlet which protects everything plugged into the control panel. The panel features four lighted switches controlling four outlets (e.g. lights, heater, pump, skimmer), plus 8 additional outlets. There's also a flourescent light mounted inside the stand which is switch controlled.

-Chaeto macroalgae in sump, including halogen light and timer to control it.
This system has been running for 2 1/2 years, and is very balanced and self-sustaining. Zero nitrates.
LOGISTICS

The aquarium is located in Milford, PA. This is one hour from Parsippany, NJ; Newburgh, NY, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA, Mt. Pocono, PA. About 90 minutes to Allentown, PA, Poughkeepsie, NY, and areas of northern NJ closer to the city.
The move can be done all at once if you have a large enough vehicle and some helpers, OR it can be done in two stages - first move the tank, stand and hardware and setup at the new location, and then come back for the rock and livestock.
To assist in moving this system while keeping the livestock healthy, I have two 30g containers with heaters and pumps attached, which can be used to hold rock, corals, assuming this is a two stage move. I also have a small tank to hold the fish.
Quite a number of people here on -- have bought and sold aquariums this size and larger with no ill effects, so this is definitely a reasonable plan.
The entire system listed here cost me well over $2,000. I am interested in selling it as a complete setup for the
VERY GOOD PRICE of $900 firm.

I know I can get a lot more selling things off in pieces, but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible, so I have priced this to sell.
For a day of effort and a long drive, you can have a balanced, beautiful ich-free system with rock and corals in your home just like that. Compare that to buying online or at the LFS, dealing with shipping, acclimating, QT'ing, and and waiting for rock to cure.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES only.

Larger pictures available upon request.

I've decided to start parting out my tank listed above. The livestock will have to go before I can sell any pumps or other equipment.
If anyone is interested in any of the livestock, and is willing to drive to Milford, PA, please post back here with email address and we'll set something up.
It's an ich-free tank, so this is a great opportunity to get fish, rock or corals and not have to deal with QT or worry about the parasite.
I have two small 8x12" cooler boxes that I received corals in which I can use to ship, but I want to try to sell as much as I can locally first. If I do ship, I will need to sell at least 2-3 corals per box.

The toadstool is about 8"-10 tall, the finger is about 4-5" tall, FYI. $45 for the pair and I'll throw in some loose mushrooms too, I have lots. Please let me know yeah or nay since others are asking.

I can't really get the duster off the rock, it's attached really good in there.
I can hold the green zoo you, give me a day or so if you don't mind, I've got two local pickups I'm working on. You're close enough that it will get to you overnight via ground shipping.
