I've decided to take the plunge and go marine, so need to regretfully let go of my tropical aquarium for the space.
It's a 240l planted stocked tank with pressurised CO2 set, 2 external canister filters, and cabinet stand. Been running for 15 months
I want to sell the whole thing, fish, kit and all. If anyone offers £400 I will accept immediately, but I'm willing to consider any sensible offer. The only condition is the buyer needs to collect and figure out how to shift it (no stairs - it's on the ground floor of a house, right near a back door). I'm in Charing near Ashford.
If I get no acceptable offer by next Sunday (22nd) then I would consider selling it off bit-by bit.
Kit:
- Fuval Roma 240 tank (120cm x 40cm wide x 50cm high) with oak cabinet, bought as an integral unit new 15 months ago.
- Fluval 305 external filter which came with the tank; inlet and outlet come up through the bottom of the tank as in all Fluval Romas
- Eheim Ecco Pro 300 external filter, bought new and added 9 months ago
- JBL Proflora m601 CO2 valve kit with 500ml gas cylinder. Bought new 9 months ago
- various spare filter media, various food (flakes, granules, plec food, freeze-dried foods), pH & NO2 test kits
- 1 power glo and 1 aqua glo bulb in the hood, replaced 2 months ago
Substrate: Dorset pea gravel to about 2 inches
Plenty of bogwood in the tank
Plants: 1 onion plant, lots of vallis, amazon frogbit, big anubias barteri secured to wood, 2 crypotocoryne wendtii, heteranthero zosterifola
Fish: 1 male dwarf gourami, 9 cardinal tetras, 9 glowlight tetras, 4 bristlenose plecs, 6 harlequin rasboras, 7 dwarf chain loaches, 3 leopard danios, 3 platy
Invertebrates: 30+ shrimps (minimum - impossible to count) - mostly yamato/amano, some cherry, 1 bamboo; 2 young apple snails; some red ramshorn snails. There is a population of very small ramshorn-type snails breeding in the substrate but the loaches keep their numbers down and they don't harm the plants
The tank has been well-maintained - there is more than adequate filtration and flow (each filter on its own claims to be sufficient for a 240l tank; I run both), and I do weekly 50% water changes.
I may not have internet access Monday/Tuesday so pls be patient if you reply on one of those days and I don't respond immeidiately.
I'll post a photo later today.
