Aquience 1200 bowfront fish tank. Approximate measurements: 48 inches x 18 inches (in the centre, 13 at each side) x 23 inches. This tank holds roughly 280 litres. It is well-used and bears its share of scratches on the front pane (thanks to previous owner). I have modified it by painting both side panes as well as the back pane black. This has been done to contrast with the colours inside the tank, as well as to make the fish feel secure.

Aquience 1200 bowfront fish tank stand. The stand has a bit of water damage which is fortunately contained under the tank (again, the doing of the previous owner). I have taken the stand apart and reinforced it with new screws and fittings. It is very secure.

Juwel 4 foot T8 light unit and cover flaps. This is the light that came with the tank. It works well enough. However, due to me upgrading to one of PS3Steveo's LED light units, I made my own lid. I will also include the homemade lid. It was made from marine grade ply, cut to shape and size, and then sealed with water-proof sealant.

Aquaone CF 1000 external filter. This canister filter is rated at 1000 litres per hour. It includes media, spray bar, hoses, tap connectors, pipes, etc. It doesn't include the intake strainer (as the previous owner lost it).

Hamburg Mattenfilter. This filter is pictured above. It is provides huge biological filtration - even surpassing what can be provided by an over-sized canister filter. It is made from 30PPI Poret foam. This foam is expensive and is not usually sold in the UK. It provides a massive surface area for the colonisation of bacteria and is even safe for small fry. It is powered by an Eheim 400 air pump and two 12" pvc jetlifters. This provides the perfect flow-rate for the filter.

This will be going up on ebay at 7:30 this evening.
 
And thanks to somebody on ebay messing me about massively I still have it all. I am open to offers on any and all of it, before I split it all and re-list it. Please know that I really don't want to do that; I would rather sell to you lovely chaps for less and not have to deal with any ebay dregs.

I'd also be open to trading any of it for nice pieces of bogwood, plants, whatever. Offer away!
 
New prices:

Tank + stand = £100
Tank + stand + lights or external filter = £110
Tank + stand + lights + external filter = £120
Tank + stand + lights + external filter + HMF = £175
 
Yeah, I'd forgot there were pics of plants in that album. They were all sold on here already. Sorry!
 
I no longer need any bogwood or plants. I'm just after cold, hard cash now. Any takers? Somebody must be looking for a cheap fixer-upper. She doesn't need much more than a bit of TLC. Holds close to 300 litres, too!
 
Either way: I'd be happy to sell either filter separately.

I'll also reduce the bundle to £150. If it's still not gone by the weekend I guess I'll have to separate everything and list it all individually on ebay. Please don't make me have to do that!
