I posted this on Scape to try to sell things locally but i also wanted to post it here in case someone wants any of the smaller items shipped. I would charge the actual shipping cost + paypal fees or payment sent as gift.

First up, the tank itself. Standard 55g footprint. I have a 3D background which is a 3 pc set. Also, there is manzanita wood siliconed to the bottom of the tank on the left side. Lastly, it has 3 bags of 9L aquasoil which is about a 4" layer or so. I would have to sell the stand and canopy with it as well. It also has 2 box fans which are about 6" each. Both have switches and long cords. Please be aware that this was a DIY stand/canopy but i used the best material i could find at home depot and i took my time making them. It isn't perfect but the picture's represent how it looks. Jim, a fellow scape member came this week and he can vouche for how it looks i hope. The tank itself also has DIY moonlights which is a strip of Blue LED's.

to sum up, Tank/background/stand/canopy/fans/manzanita wood:
Take all for $500 OBO

Next up Co2 Setup:
includes, the #10 co2 tank, 3 way manifold, 3x Fabco NV-55 Needle valves, 2 stage concoa regulator, 3 bubble counters by JBJ, 3 check valves right under each bubble counter, clippard solenoid. All fittings came from clippard. This is a complete system and was up and running for me for well over a year with no problems. It only has a bit of co2 left. i didn't bother to fill it up because i knew i was going to sell, but i can always go fill it for you if you send an extra $20. At that point it would be all plug and play. I also have 2 reactors on my 2213's and 1 big one that is hooked up to 1 xp3. If you can use all 3 reactors i can give you a good deal on the reactors as well which all have check valves as well. If i don't sell the reactors i have to keep the check valves so that water doesn't spill out.

to sum up:
#10 co2 tank, 3 way manifold, 3x Fabco NV-55, 3x JBJ Bubble counters, concoa 2 stage reg, check valves and fittings, clippard solenoid. Take all for $350 FIRM

Take all for $160 FIRM

Next up, 2x Hydor 300 w inline heaters. Both were hooked up to my xp3's at one point but i took one off because i ran a reactor instead. Both work flawlessly. Buy it with the fliter and take the hoses w/ it.

Take each heater for $40 ea. You can see the pic of the other one on the filters picture running

Next, Watts Temp Valve USG-B-M1. This valve is to basically make water changes easier by not having to worry about adjusting temp every time. You preset it to a certain temp and when you do water changes you just open up both valves and your done. Comes with output spout that you can attache a 5/8" hose to and also it's a hang on back output.

Take the valve plus steel hoses for $60 FIRM

I bought a camera lens that was just a tad bit too expensive. I also need to buy a camera body that does the lens justice. I really did love this tank setup though

Had a couple people asking if I could hold stuff. I did and didn't hear back from them. So everything on list still for sale. OBO will be considered.

I also have an Andrew Soh book if anyone is interested

Heaters pending. Someone asked which Andrew soh book it was. It is the second one which I believe is problems and solutions. I don't remember how much I got it for or how much it goes for now. But if you find a link to the book being sold ill beat it by $15

Sry but both the manzanita and background are being sold with the tank itself because they are siliconed

All yours when you want it bud. I'm assuming Stockton isn't that close to Pacoima, so it would probably would be cheaper to ship it to you. I don't know if it would be cost productive to ship it with the tank though, it's pretty big and heavy.

Yeah were about 6 hours apart. I just need the co2 setup although that tank with background is done really well
