That is definitely the best site for nano's.

You should see Red Sea's Nano too. It's freaking nice.
It has everything build in Heater, Skimmer, Chiller, Pumps,Lights, Filter, extra electric outlet. It just awesome!!

Interested in the Skimmer and some of that Rock. Can I get a pic of the Skimmer? Also what model is the 6 month old pump?

[ReefWreak]

What size nano are you looking for? My family might be getting selling one soon because of an irresponsible younger brother...

Or we could set up a trade for some equipment. I'll keep following this thread and see what ends up happening.

Oooooh YEaaaah....<drooling>
That RedSea Max is awesome.... I know it has heating, but I don;t think it has a chiller - has a fan(s) for the lights, though.

Man, that thing is ballistic! Unfortunately, it's near $800 with a stand. Plus, I think it's a bit big for what he wants - 34g.

But it is REAAAAAALLY nice!

JBJ makes a 6g NanoCube 12x13.5x12 :
http://www.jbjlighting.com/sys_6g_nanocube.html

Current makes a 12g that's roughly 16x15x16 - maybe too big...
http://www.current-usa.com/aquapods.html

Oceanic makes an 8g BioCube 12.4x13x14.5 :
http://www.oceanicsystems.com/

Hmmm.....any others around?


Tony

[reefsahoy]

how much r u asking for the skimmer and dimensions of the sump any pics?

[matt21ocean]

would be interested in any pumps you may have looking for flow rate in the 1200 ish range (6 month old pump?) ... anything like a mag drive? also the 4 VHO bulbs and ballast, calcium reactor and fish blastos yumas rics echino etc.

[Rockblast]

BTW If you have to decide between an JBJ NanoCube or a Aquapod. Definitely go with the aquapod.

[bawla47]

put me in line for the deltec! Thanks.

[saltylake]

i am going to buy the nano this week.

these are the finalist.

check these out and tell me what you think is better:

http://www.cadlights.com/product_info.php?products_id=103

or the standard aquapod

that 34 gallon nano from cadlights.com is crazy!!!

[saltylake]

the red sea max is awesome!!!!!!

I am totally confused on what to buy.

the red sea max site offers a video which explain in detail the unit and it brings everything!!!!

I need advice

[Rockblast]

Hey SaltyLake,

I just saw it at Reef Life. ITS FREAKING NICE!!! But yeah they are selling it for $800.00. But it really is AWESOME!

[saltylake]

rock which nano did you see?

i also really like the

JBJ 28 gallon

http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=381


i am truly confussed, hopefully people here can give me some advice in regards to their experiences

[Sharkonwheels]

Rock: $800 for just the RedSea Max Tank itself? If so, that's quite high. That thing is $599 MSRP, I believe.

Saltylake, if your dropping 6 large for one of those, the RedSea Max is the way to go, I think. Even the protein skimmer is included, which is optional on the other one you linked to at cadlights.com

Now, you originally asked about something for the kitchen counter - did that change? I mean, with saltwater averaging 8.5lb/g, you're talking about near 300lb of water, not even counting the rock and sand! Plus, these are QUITE a bit bigger than the 6/8 gl units that would fit on the kitchen counter.

If the size doesn;t disturb you, the RedSea Max looks awesome.

Exotic Aquarium on Bird and 74th had a RedSea Max in stock, last time I went there, but it was a few weeks ago...I'd look at 'em in person.

One place that has the Current Aquapods and JBJ NanoCubes on display, and some even set up and running, is Beverly's Pets on University Drive and Pines Blvd here in Broward.

I'm not saying to necessarily BUY it there, but you can see them both in person, literally next to each other, out in the open on display. I do not believe they have the RedSea Max, though.

That LFS i mentioned on Bird is the only Dade LFS I've been to, so I don't know who else would have it in stock down there.

Big Al's has it on display as well, but last I checked, they wanted $899 for the tank alone, which is $599 everywhere else!!!
Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe I misread and it included the stand, but I don't think so.


Tony

[Rockblast]

Saltylake I saw the Red Sea Max there. But they also had some other nano tanks there too.

I believe for $800.00 the stand is also included. Because it was on its original stand. But I might be wrong.

[Sharkonwheels]

if it is for the combo, average online is $600 + $150, so $800 wouldn't be bad, considering what it would cost to ship to the LFS, unless you found someone online with a free shipping deal or something. Even then, for $40-50 difference, I'd go to a local LFS. Too many things can happen to not go to a LFS for like what? 5% difference?


Tony

[saltwaterfishlover]

there's 2 at Exotic in broward not sure the price tho

[lpsluver]

If I read this correctly. than no one in the local area can touch this price. Customaquatic.com has the Red Sea Max complete set-up including the stater kit for...$680. Loks like they ship freight though. Add on a lot for that type of shipment. Other site ship it UPS for a lot less, but don't come close on the aquarium price

[lpsluver]

Sorry about the typos in the last post. Anyway, just found Red Sea Max at Superfishstore.com for $649.95. It says that this includes the stand and says that you pay regular s & h. It gets dropshipped to your house from Red Sea. I will call and get the details an update the forum. I'd like one to set up as a clam tank.

Bob

[lpsluver]

Okay, here's the skinny. It's for real. Red Sea has a special deal with Superfishstore.com. The price is $649.95, includind the stand and freight. No one in this area can touch that. I've looked. If you are interested call Jim at Superfishstore (512-989-2293) and he will get you going. In the meantime, he is calling Red Sea to check on their inventory. He also told me that he will coordinate with the buyers to keep track of the shipment and the delivery dates so we are not surprised when they arrive. I'm checking with the "boss" and am hoping to be a proud owner of one this afternoon. Here I go again...

I wonder if anyone local would be willing to match or come close?

[Sharkonwheels]

Hey, Bob...

Guys, quick intro - Bob lives out in West Pines...
I met him through a list he had on Craigslist.

He loaned me a 10g tank for hospital tank use, including heater, hood, etc.. which is MUCH appreciated....


Bob, $650 for the RedSea Max, including the stand, is absolutely ballistic. Including S&H, and it's a no-brainer! Cheapest I've seen the tank alone go for is $599, so $50 for stand and shipping is a gift!!

Also, you guys know it's available in black AND silver!


Tony

[Rockblast]

Welcome to Reefcentral and FMAS lpsluver.

:D

[Sharkonwheels]

hey Salty - as lpsluvr mentioned, the $650 deal for the RedSea Max with stand WITH shipping is right on the main page at superfishstore.com.

I don't know if you can really beat that!
Take a look at one a a local shop, and see if it appeals to you.


Tony

[Voltekker]

You have a PM for the tank not coral.

[saltylake]

the only issue that i have with that nano tank is that I havent seen this tank with Metal halides.

650 is a great price, the machine has all the bells and whisles.

i have to buy this tank this week.

vince

[saltwaterfishlover]

650 without stand at Exotic on oakland

[REDDAWG43]

Vince.....ask in the Nano forum or there's a few websites dedicated to nano tanks in which you should be able to find information on maybe doing a hood modification to insert a 70w MH Light

[saltylake]

Anyway you could post some prices on what your selling? they way your talking it almost sounds like you plan on an auction.

[saltylake]

Let me expalin this to you.

I work 6 days a week, i had my engangement party this past week along with my birthday, I am remodeling my apartment, dealing with several tennants in another property that i own that are a bunch of thieves!!!!!

My life is very hectic and that is why I am short and to the point.

I have not thought about prices.

I have nice corals and the way it is going to work is first come first serve at 2 pm.

You ask me the price on a coral and i will tell you what i think it is worth and then we make a deal.

no auction, no hidden scam.

simple and to the point. I am not giving anything away and it breaks my heart to have to sell this tank after so many years of taking care of it. whatever doesnt sell, and isn't transfered to my new nano is going to the store for credit.

[saltylake]

I just got the red sea max about an hour ago.

The item is great!!!!!!

Bought it a Exotic for 749.00

A little more expensive but due to time constraints, this was the only option.

By the way Exotic has some insane SPS LPL and Rics. I haven't seen corals this pretty in a long time.

If anyone has any further questions about tommorrow please call me 305-303-0115.

See you guys tommorrow at 2 pm.

thanks

I was not accusing you of trying to scam anyone. if you can't be bothered to post prices for your items thats your perogative.

Good luck on your sale.

[Fish2reef]

Vince is a great guy I saw his tank about a year ago I can tell you the corals were hand picked, out of the norm, healthy and great color, it is going to be a great sale, I understand the further away the more info you want to see if it is worth the trip I hope this helped a little.

[jessp]

the ad says power compact lighting but then later mentions 2 x 55w t5. which is it pc or t5? when i saw it in the store the lights looked like pc's.

[saltylake]

the red sea max also confused me in regards to the lighting.

NO metal halides.

they state T-5's but they are Power Compacts.

110 wats for about 30 gallons. not a bad ratio, not great.

but a person in my sitaution can really beg.

I will probably call Chris aggie and see if he can help me put together some rig where we add a 150 watt HQI.....

the tank is up and running. i am letting the sand settle at the present moment.

the tank is clean and really coool looking. for a person like me that suffers frim OCD (LOL) the red sea max offers a feature that hides all the cables.

take care guys and see you in a few hours

[Miamireefer]

Hey Vince!

Just wanted to say thanks for your kind hospitality to my wife and kid and thanks again for the great pieces.... the zoas look sick under the lighting. Definitely a happy camper... Hope you made alot of sales man!

And trust me you can definitely wire up a 150 hqi in there... just carefully think it out to keep the install clean.

Regards,

Nick

Vince is a stand up guy, fellow coral collector. Searches the globe for crazy color morphs and odd specimens. He's just a very busy guy! I can vouch for his reputation. JOHNNY

Forgot to ask, if the 7 yr old purple tang is not taken, i'll take it. Will be in a good home :) JOHNNY

[lpsluver]

Hey Salty...Just got my RSM (from Superfishstore dropshipped FedEx freight for $660) last week and it is up and running. The skimmer is not producing yet but it is still within the "break-in" period. Bought 40 lbs of most curred LR from Reef Life and already have pods scurring around on the glass. Going to set it up as a clam tank so I am hoping that the lighing is sufficient. According to Clams Direct it should be. Will be placing on the LR mostly and the depth to the sand is only 17". Have seen a thread on nano-reef forum where a member got nanotuners to set her up with a 150 HQI. That's a lot of light for this tank IMO. Nanaotuners said they were going to release a retro for the RSM this month but I have not seen it yet. A heads up on a chiller. If you get a thermoelectric chiller (like Aqua Euro or Pacific Coast) it will not work if placed in the cabinet. Too much heat is generated by the chiller to allow the heat exchanger to work. Outside of the cabinet they work great. I have the CL150 and am maintianing 78F (down from 85).

LPS

[saltylake]

Thank you johnny for the kind words.

Some said they wanted the tang but If they don't pick it up this evening i will give it to you.

I know that she is going to a great home. seven years old.

thanks
