30g Oceanic Cube tank - Complete setup with Dimmable 120w LED!

#1
It turns out I cannot maintain a cube tank and a 120g. My 120g is looking great, and this little 30g is getting jealous. I am selling it as one big complete package of tank, stand, dimmable LED, skimmer, pumps, corals, fish and more for $350. The price is firm - I do not have time to part it out. I just need it out of my tiny kitchen in one shot:


  • Tank: It's set up in my kitchen - I think it is about 19 inches by 19 inches by like 21 tall but could get exact measurements if you need, it has no leaks, and it's in decent shape considering I have 3 kids fiddling with it. "Drop the cleaning magnet!" has been yelled more than once in that poor tank's defense, so you will see some scratches. I included a pic of the front, which just has a couple, and then the side which has a few low down by the rocks. The tank has a glass top, which is a good thing because maybe once a week, the jekyll\hyde clownfish decides he needs a sabbatical in the skimmer outlet cup that hangs in the display. Tank is not drilled, and I believe these are tempered on the bottom so only a back glass hole would work
  • Pumps: One of the powerheads is a nano Koralia and the other is a new, fairly powerful aqueon
  • Stand: Cherry finish, could use some cherry stain pen touch-ups where finish has worn. No water damage inside, sturdy, the door is smoked glass and opens and shuts easily. It's clean inside, and it's open in the back so you could add a little fuge below and run an overflow if you wanted to. It's a very stylish looking little set-up and the finish is a redder color than my pics came out
  • Skimmer: newer Coralife Super Skimmer is overrated for this little tank, but it keeps it super clean, and it's quiet. I actually have an extra incomplete one under the stand that you can have as well in case you ever need the parts
  • Heater, magnet cleaner, thermometer: heater is about a month old, I can't remember the name but a good one, including magnet cleaner, thermometer
  • LED Light 120w - Blue\White & DIMMABLE: this is a Chinese LED (came from a seller on Ebay with top reviews of all EBAY Chinese sellers for these lights, I researched it for weeks before buying). It has two separate cords for whites and blues, dimmer knobs and multiple fans. It never gets even a little warm, it's super quiet, and all the features and bulbs work like a charm. I have it sitting directly on top of my glass lid (and dimmed way down obviously) so I have easy access to the dimmer knobs at night, but it does have little anchors on the top for hanging if you prefer. It's powerful, so make sure no one changes the intensity on you because I accidentally bleached some critters when I first installed it even at 50%. I ramped up to like 40% now and everything is happy
  • Live rock and sand is included - the rock does have algae on it, but it also has cool things like ricordea and mushrooms, mysid shrimp, pods and coraline. If you hate algae, you could give the rock away, dump it into a peroxide bath or buy an algae predator of some sort
  • Corals included: kenya trees, nuclear green palys, pulsing xenia, pink\gold palys, some cool zoas - some candy apple pink and others brown skirted with deep green centers (no-name). If you want, I can frag you a piece of red monti as well. It grows great under this light. You will probably go home with more corals than I have listed here
  • Livestock:
    • A pair of clowns - one has a big blotch of white on one side like a snowflake, and the other side is normal (thus the Jekyll\Hyde reference). Her buddy is a much smaller clown and they do appear to be paired up
    • Starry blenny - great eater, but not of algae in my tank - he is spoiled with frozen food
    • Target mandarin - I buy pods every couple months to keep him fed, but he's just a cute little guy and he does eat frozen. I buy the newly hatched frozen brine sheets. They are smaller size since he is so little, and I also feed the frozen red plankton and cyclopeeze
    • Matted filefish - he keeps large pods and aptasia eliminated - I can trade him in at the fish store if you don't want him. He will nip LPS
    • peppermint shrimp - either 1 or 2, hard to know for sure as they hide well
    • various hermits & snails

So, all in all, this would make someone a great starter tank, frag tank or quarantine for a small space! I think the $350 price is super reasonable considering most of the equipment is fairly new - the $200 LED and over $150 in livestock alone makes it worth the price, and I'm throwing in some corals to sweeten the deal. Sorry, not interested in trades at this time unless it's a big ole gift card to a department or home improvement store. I will be available evenings this week - this weekend is limited to afternoon\evenings possibly as well with baseball tournaments starting up.

Please PM me if you are interested, but please be ready to set up a time to see it right away, and I will respond in order of PM's.

FYI - these are pics from yesterday - it's running and has been for almost a year. Coraline, pods and mysis everywhere!
