Decided to tone things back and am only going to run my 60 gallon for a while, so I'm posting my 240, the few fish I have in it, and the equipment. First the fish - they'll have to go before the tank. I'm located in 91307, and I've never shipped. If anyone cares to arrange it through a local seller, feel free and I'll drop the fish off.
8" Indo Dat - $100 He's eating just about anything. Market shrimp, freeze-dried krill, sinking or floating pellets. You name it, he'll eat it. He's pretty stable when he's not the biggest fish in the tank. When he's not, he looks like a typical Indo, your basic unstable Dat. Below is a shot of him when he wasn't the biggest, at about 7".
4" ATF Forskali - $40 This was posted in another thread, and got no action, so I'm dropping the price a bit. Currently eating FBW.
3 x 4" Temensis - $25 each. Currently eating anything and everything. They're afraid of the camera, but they look like any Temensis does at that size.
6" Megalodoras Uranoscopus (or Irwini) - $25 He's grabbing massivore pellets off the bottom at his leisure. Same deal with pics as the Temensis... the light goes on, and he disappears.
The tank... 240 gallons, 8x2x2 feet. It sits on a black wrought-iron stand, and has custom covers made for each of the three openings in the top of the tank. It has a rubbermaid sump that I put together - a small bin that contains the bio-balls, which is covered with a trickle plate and has nylon matting underneath as a pre-filter. From that bin, it runs down into the next bin where it is pumped back out (Rio 17HF). This is where the heaters are located - two Finnex Titanium 500 Watt Heaters with the HC-0800 controllers.
I got the tank used about a year and a half ago. The guy I bought the tank from didn't drill out for his filters, he cut off prongs of the overflow and had his intakes hanging down. I did the same thing with the Eheim Pro 3 that I got - I'd include this as well. The overflow itself has three holes drilled in the bottom - one line out and two returns, which run to a spraybar on one side and a two-pronged nozzle (for lack of a better term) on the other. $650 takes the whole set-up.
I think there's about 100 lbs in gravel. You can see what it looks like in the pic with the Dat. That's free to the first taker if the purchaser of the tank doesn't want it all. There are three decent-sized pieces of driftwood that I'll include with the tank as well. Feel free to contact me here or via PM.
