OK, this is what I have right now, all used except for Tetratec filter--for sale or for trade (not really looking for hardware, trade for frags or for RA vol 1 & 2). I am trying not to ship most of the larger items, on the others, I'd prefer to find a local buyer, will ship after one week of no offers. Will try and keep this list updated.
______________________________________
55 gal glass tank.
I think the make is AGA but I'm not certain. I believe 48 X 18 standard rect tank (can measure at request). No leaks, will check again before sale. Was used as a show tank, but would also make a great sump for a larger tank (it is long and narrow and will fit under most larger stands). Removeable algae & salt stains, some light scratches that are not noticeable.
$50 OBO

______________________________________
4 ft stand for this tank.
Pressed wood board composition, polished black finish. One cabinet door in the front. Bottom shelf is a little warped as this was where the sump sat, so I'm not that eager to sell it... if no one buys it, I will keep it as a stand for a 10gal.
$70 OBO

______________________________________
VHO lights in ABS hood--440 W total, 4-bulb harness actinic/white.
440 W VHO retrofit harness (ballast included) inside fully-enclosed 4' ABS plastic hood. I made this myself from the ABS box & the retrofit kit bought at "Hello Lights". Has worked really well and I will be sad to see it go, but it does not fit inside my new full hood. The light bulbs are 48" now and at this length stick out of the ABS hood (bought wrong size by accident)... I am including them because they still have a good few months of use in them left; when you change them over, you can change to 46.5" bulbs and they will fit entirely inside (have side cover, not being used currently due to length). The bulbs are 4 URI bulbs--2 actinic, 2 white--4 mos old. The endcaps are currently unmounted, but can be fixed on easily. Will include a small rigged computer fan for cooling if you buy the whole thing.
$40 OBO for ABS plastic hood alone;
$100 OBO for retrofit VHO including fully-wired bulbs & ballast (I paid $240 total)
$125 for the whole set as shown

250 W Utility MH
I bought this thinking I could use it with a custom hood, but it is just too big and heavy for my purposes.... maybe someone else can make use of it in a larger tank. It is a utility style MH, like for a workshop. It is 18" X 12" X 5" and quite big and heavy. Bulb needs replacing.
$50 OBO

Have other smaller items up for sale (powerheads, Ebo-Jager/other heaters, bio-balls, etc), along with some live fish (see live sale board), "inquire within". Selling because I am combining two tanks, and I just have a lot of extra stuff left over I need to get rid of. The tank, stand & lights must go locally (I am just north of DC, very close to 495), will not ship. The other stuff, I'd prefer to sell locally, but will ship if it doesn't sell after a week or two, but buyer must pay shipping (big & bulky). Email or PM for details. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL (I canceled my account recently, email me for details, there is a long story behind this, but they are not good with customer service at all).

I'll buy the VHO setup (without the hood) from you if you decide to ship. UPS has boxes that the bulbs and ballast would easily fit into. I've got a couple of those boxes lying around here from previous bulb orders.

Thanks,
Sherri

Thanks for asking, Sherri, but I think RedMar has called dibs on them and he can pick up. Besides, I just don't trust shipping on lights... they have insurence, but it can be a pain to deal with a claim if something breaks, plus it takes a while to package everything nicely. (For example, I had a glass item shipped to me cracked by USPS priority. It was fully insured, but the PO refused to honor the claim because even though it was packed tightly in styrofoam, it was not "packed up to their standards"... I guess those being the standards of the cheap old geezer behind the counter who didn't want to fork over any money :) )
