BioCube, MP10, ICE Cap Battery Back Up and Lights

I am in the process of taking down my complex three tank system and upgrading to 180 gallon, so I have a lot of stuff to get rid of (and a lot more expensive things to buy). I'll update this thread as i take down more.

First round, I have:

IceCap battery backup. This was never really used. I bought it but ended up going with the echotech system. I may have connected this to a Jebao wave maker in a quarantine tank, but there was never a power loss when that occurred. $65

Various lights: I have a bunch of thrifty amazon lights I used for various projects (and two) not used at all! ABI Tuna Blue with arm ($25); unused ABI Tuna Blue still in box ($20); never used LED 30W Grow light ($10); ACKE LED Grow Light (used this to create a really cool HOB refugium with an Aquaclear) ($15); Nano Refuium light; JBJ Nano Glo ($25).

BioCube 14: This was modded to take off the lid and use a LifeReef overflow into a custom sump (see below). The tank comes with the overflow and a custom made acrylic screen top, and the mp10. There are still some crabs in the tank and a rock with some xenia, and there is gsp growing on the back. You can have those too. $250 for all those (most of that is for the mp10 and overflow). * I will have another mp10 available when I take down my frag tank.

7.13 Gallon Aqua Top Cube: I used this as a sump on the BioCube for a few months. I siliconed in glass baffles that can be removed. A good vinegar bath and this should be good to go. ($25)

If you're referring to the tank size, my system is currently a 65 gallon predator reef (dwarf lion that now eats frozen food, snowflake eel, and some larger fish), this 14g biocube which had more docile fish and a 10 gallon frag, all plumbed into a 55g sump. I'm replacing them all with a 180. So expect to see a 65 tank for sale soon! :)

6ft tanks are really good size. You can have a lot of different fish and let coals grow in to colonies.
Can’t wait for the build thread
