215 Reef System for Sale - Lots of Equipment

DRC Archive Market Place
1

I realize that whole systems are difficult to sell, but in an attempt to simplify life for me, I’m offering everything together in a single package for significantly less than I think the individual components are worth. Even if you’re not interested in the entire package, this may be an opportunity for you to flip what you don’t need, and and potentially turn a profit, in addition to keeping what you want…

If I don’t have any success selling everything as a single package, I’ll eventually piece it all off… but probably won’t start until sometime in May at the earliest.

Full Package price: $4000
(Note that this is less that I had intended to post the package for, but I’m dealing w/ an algae problem right now, so I’ve adjusted the price to make up for the algae hassle)

Equipment is 1-7 years old, but the system has only been running since June 2013 (took me a while to procure and assemble everything).

Located near Avondale, PA

Hello Quetzalcoatl ! That is a nice , clean lined looking tank and stand. and apparently a healthy system. But like you said, its a pretty big gulp to take whole. Prepair to part out, unless theres one who would really like a whole setup.

Any pics of the sump and tronics layout, under tank, would be helpful.

open the doors so we can see where the magic happens.

Nicely Done!

Very clean and nice setup, sorry to see you unloading it. Good luck with sale.

6

Let us know if you part it out

7

Very nice set-up.

I’d be interested in most of the livestock when you’re ready - please let me know.

Beautiful and very CLEAN system.

That’s also a great deal if someone is in the market for a full system. Wish I had the room or the funds (preferably both, lmao)

Waiting patiently to see if/when you part out.

(Have you tried posting a for sheet at any LFS or seeing if one of them would broker it for you? Might have better luck selling as a whOle system that way.

Either way, good luck!

I’ve pretty much resolved that I’ll need to break it down and part it out. Work travel and dealing w/ an algae breakout (likely due to waiting too long to change out the R/O membrane) are slowing me down, though. I’ve been trying to avoid pulling all of the rock to kill the algae, as I hate to loose the coralline, and with the pukani it will be tough to make sure there are no “good” hitch-hikers (hermits, etc) if I pull it all out to treat separately with more extreme methods than phosphate reduction and physical removal of the algae.

I might be interested in the water storage container,some of rock(dry or live)

11

How much for the digital aquatic equipment?

12

I’m in Landenberg, right around the corner from you. What do you want for the RO system?

$500 for the entire DA Reef Keeper system.

I have two pH probes that I’ll include as well, but no promises as to whether or not they’re working (haven’t ever been in use).

I’d initially like to try to keep the entire R/O system together… That is:

  • Spectrapure MAX CAP 5-Stage Ultra-High Efficiency RO/DI Unit w/ Booster Pump and AutoFill Switches

  • 50-gal Poly Tank w/ Stand

  • Receiver Tank w/ Stand (Not a formal tank - really just a plastic container for storing wrapping paper that I used so that I install the level switches without drilling a “nice” tank.

  • Spectrapure Ultra-Precise Auto Top-Off UPLC-II

  • Tubing & pipe currently used in system

Looking for $450 for the entire set up.

Ok. I’ll have to pass then.
