WTB: biocube, aquapod, nancube

[matt.radich]

NOTE: I'm really after any sized tank, im putting it on my end table in my room so not huge haha

I am trying to get back into the saltwater hobby. I got out of it for lack of knowledge and just jumping right into it. I figure one of these fully self contained setups may be good for me.

As of now im just looking and curious about what some of you are charging for a setup, I may be getting money soon, but don't have any currently. ( I can pay a little bit for now, shoot me offers)

I will take really any tank, a self contained tank, or a complete tank setup, just let me know

I might have a biocube 29 coming up for sale in a few weeks. Not sure on price as of yet, but will keep you posted.

I've got a Biocube 8 that's been running great. I just tore it down last week to reduce my number of tanks (still wet but no contents but sand). It needs new bulbs and filter and has a couple of scratches on the glass. But, it's been a great tank for me. Let me know if you just want the tank or if you'd like a heater and power setup (for 3 sets of lights).

 

[matt.radich]

@drcax, what are you looking to get for it?

 

[Dracx]

$50 for the tank, free sand if you want it. Has 1 new fan installed. Everything else stock.
$40 for the power system: Coralife Digital Power Center, Heater (Aqueon Pro 50W, 4 months old) and extra timer for Moon Lights.

And when you say new filter, you mean new media right? Everything works fine in it?

I am interested for sure because it would fit on my end table easily

I should have my biocube empty in a week or two. It is a 29 gallon though is that two big? Every thing works great except the stock lights... Umm well they work just is they are no longer in the hood, i did an LED upgrade but that will be coming with me.

I still have my Stock lights, ballasts, moon lights and reflectors from my bc29. They have about a months worth of use on them. I'd be willing to sell them, if you end up buying his tank without lights.

 

[matt.radich]

@KhensuRa- how much could you sell it for?

@asneiman- how much for that setup also?

And for both of you, what could you manage to grow with the bulbs in the tank

 

[asn-naso]

Matt,

After re-reading the above post, Khensura might still have his lights. If you do buy his tank, I would rather see you buy his lights (it's only fair). If he doesn't have them, or if you need replacement bulbs for his, I was thinking $50 for the whole light setup would be a fair price. It would include 2 PC bulbs that have 4 weeks on them, 2 ballasts, the reflectors, the moon light setup etc.... The bulbs go for $20 each new, so for an extra $10 you get everything else.

Something else you would need would be the fans for the canopy. I still have those in mine. I basically removed all of my lights, and added a LED retro-fit.

To answer your other question, you should be able to keep just about anything you wanted to keep, other then maybe a clam. I had SPS towards the top of my tank with the PC bulbs, and they did great.

 

[KhensuRa]

I still have the whole lighting set-up but it would probably be best to do a rapid led retro. As you need to replace the CF lights twice a year and they are about 40 to 50 bucks for both lights shipped. So at 80 to 100 bucks a year. Get the led retro. If you do you will be able to grow anything you like plus you will have great coloration.

As far as what I grew, I had Zoas, Acans, a green kenya tree and one couple low light SPS that had to be way at the top of the tank.

Just looked up price on a new BC29 and stand. Tank with CF lights like the one have is $270 through amazon and $137 for the stand. Didn't really look for the cheapest stuff.
Tank has a couple scatches and the stand looks a little used, but over all I have taken the best possible care of the tank.
I would like to get $225 to $250. I would cash and trade as well. I am looking for another 120watt 20k led unit as well as a skimmer and return pump.

 

[matt.radich]

hmm, let me think about the offer and trade items. Would you trade for anything else+cash if i can get enough?

Just fyi...was at Petco tonight and 14g Biocubes are on clearance for $120. No stand though.

 

[ailachami]

sorry for stealing your thread. Khensura, how much are you asking for just tank and stand? i dont need lights because i have led kit.

 

[KhensuRa]

225 to 250... make an offer... i would do a trade as well. Looking for 120watt 20k led set up.
