I'm mostly out of the hobby now, except for a few small tanks of killi fish, so need to get rid of a bunch of larger tanks, etc. Most still have water and some have nice driftwood. Some like this first one have a bunch of plants and some fish.
The first I'd like to get rid of is this 75-gallon set up for breeding with 5 10-gallon tanks on top for raising fry... or use however you wish. The 75 has been setup for several years but was new when we got it. The glass on top covers, but don't expect anything great. We have a homemade dump filter and a rewired double tube fluorescent that now has LED tubes. Everything works great, but is a bit DIY. Frankly I'm a huge fan of dump filters for a lot of reasons and this one hides nicely behind the light.
Plants in the 75 are primarily large anubias and tons of Java fern. I'll be keeping a few of the small anubias that are pretty much swallowed up by the Java fern, but the big ones you see in the photo come with the package. The 10 gallon on the top left has killi fish in it, which I am keeping along with the other contents of that tank.
I know fish are a personal choice, so you may not want the livestock that are coming free with this, but please bring them to the next club auction if you don't want them. Or maybe someone else will take them from you when you get the tank. The fish in the 75 gallon right now include a group of 6 Pelvicachromis sacrimontis (C.A.R.E.S. species), a lone African glass catfish (Pareutropius debauwi) and possibly one or two Mochokiella paynei catfish, although I haven't seen those lately. About the only thing that has been done with the tank in the last year is occasional water changes and light feeding (not trying to fatten them up breed, etc.).
The price is $250 for everything, which seems like a steal to me since the plants and driftwood alone are probably worth $100. Let me know if you have questions.
I'm in Arlington, VA and you will need to come help break it down to take all the goodies along with the tanks, etc. Obviously everything could use a good clean up (particularly the 10s), but it all works and is ready for a new home.
