So, having helped organize the 'Drink Tank Challenge' and gone a bit overboard on my design, I'm unable to continue.

Here's the build post...
DTC Build - Mark_C

Up for grabs is everything pictured ('cept the uke). Custom stand, light, light timer, air pump, tubing, air stones, jar (drilled), and heater. Will also include cycled sand and 5# of cycled rock. It's close to $100 in equipment and is an optimal pico build.

I prefer experienced reef-keepers adopt the kit.

BUT, if you've done research, and plan to keep soft corals (zoas and plays) and a few snails (maybe 2 nasars and a couple of cerith/astrina/etc) it shouldn't be a problem with bi-weekly water changes.
AND, if you have access to home produced RODI water and can mix it to a 1.024-26 SG level you're good.
These tanks are small and fast. NOT FOR THE STARTER (smaller is NOT better in this hobby, bigger is much more forgiving).

So, its free. Seriously, I have NO expectations. I'll help you load it (both 4 pound pieces) and may even throw in a frag or two.
But if you feel that you need to exchange something you can throw me a few bucks, a 6 pack, or any random frag of a zoa/paly/softie of any size.

I wanted to join the drink tank challenge also after being suggested that with my intro to the forum. Sounded neat and this would be a sweet way to get to know the club and enjoy another pico challenge.
