Being forced to get rid of all my tanks. If nobody wants this setup complete, I will break it up into its parts for significantly more money total. Might be worth it to buy the whole thing even if you only want some of it.
FOR SALE IN ALMOST ITS ENTIRETY:

This includes:
-220g all glass 6'x2' tank. Approx 2 years used, holds water fully and is in great condition (no real scratches I can think of). Tank is drilled with dual overflows, however it has been modified to remove one overflow and so that the water level only rises approximately 12'', making this the ideal palaudium. If you wanted to use this as a full fish tank again, you'd just have to change the pvc pipes to taller ones.
-Two 24-36'' 10k LED fixtures. Approx 3 months old. (One is high output.)
-1 T5 36 or 48'' (not sure offhand) light fixture, with 2x 6700k high output bulbs. Also approx 3 months old.
-1 8w non-in-line (the kind with its own impeller) UV filter.
-1 CF500uv Canister filter, full of eheim substrat and clay rings, modified and hooked up to a mag-drive pump so that it can push high enough vertically for this tank.
-1 30+g sump, divided up into wet/dry, bio rings, eheim substrat, bags of eheim torf pellets for ph management, refugium (with mossballs, java fern, and shrimp) complete with 36'' lighting fixture to light refugium.
-1 Magdrive 950 Pump as main push out of sump
-250w (I think? Maybe 300) heater
-A ton of plants (moss balls, java fern, anubias, and several terrestrial plants that have adapted to the water including a LOT of pothos)
-A huge amount of awesome driftwood of several varieties
-A tremendous amount of rock and mixed substrate that was in the tank
-Livestock currently in it including a lot of small community fish (used as pretty looking feeders for the below-mentioned snakes), ropefish, a cool little synodontis cat to clean up, several snails, etc.
-Stand
-5g CO2 injection system, filled approx 2 months ago.
-Canopy top, specially modified to house everything needed to make this tank function as a palaudium. Spent about a month getting this in shape and it's awesome.
-Power strips and extension cords needed to make this work, including one strip with double-timer.
~~~~~$800 CASH ONLY, negotiable~~~~~
3X Tentacled Snakes, Erpeton tentaculatum, (perfect for this tank setup, can't begin to describe how cool it is to see them act all naturally in here), $250 each. $600 for all 3. They work best as a group. Perfectly healthy, eating and shedding, possibly mating. One survived Sandy. I paid $250 each for them + shipping. Quite rare in the trade.
~~~~~$1300 for Swamp + Snakes~~~~~
IF INTERESTED YOU MUST ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND BREAKING DOWN THE TANK. I will be there and can help you, but part of why this is so cheap is because I need it gone ASAP. Prices negotiable.
I cannot stress enough that this setup is by far cooler than any comparably-sized display I've seen, even in a professional zoo. Real ecosystem I've got going on. Wish I could keep it so bad.
All prices negotiable. Have approx 2 weeks to get this out of my apartment.
