ball park figure?

 

[21rm]

wow, that is just class. lovely

 

[Cro-Baller]

TBH Haych I don't really know what to ask. I was hoping somewhere around £700 but like I say I don't know what this kind of set up gets second hand.

TYVM 21rm.

 

[Haych]

wow

You would be lucky to get £300 for a rio 240 - I was just bidding on one that went for £72....

You may be better selling it seperately - selling one of the pumps seperate, maybe even both and go down the break it down route.

You could get £200-250 for the rio and a pump and then around £50 for the extra pump and whatever for the rest

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Sounds expensive

Sounds expensive

With the exception of the tank itself and a couple of the fish everything is less than 12 months old, even the C02 tank was brand new and tested etc with a proper valve fitted. So when you say sounds expensive please enlighten me as to what exactly it is that's expensive, because the individual prices I have listed above I think are quite reasonable.

 

[Haych]

tbf - I can say the eheims and the tank are a very good price - the rest i couldnt comment about as I don't know them.

£200 for the rio is a very good price

you may be better listing it on ebay - but I would sell seperstely though as not everyone will appreciate the value together. You could list them all seperately and state you could do a deal for them together or something

 

[Abyss]

Are the SunSun power heads wavemakers? If so, what are they rated at and are they suction or magnet?

 

[Indy99]

Firstly, how old is the tank and are there any scraches/damage to cabinet, glass or hood?

I'm interested in your tanks if still available. I would be interested in the following items:

Rio 240 & T5 light unit (IS THE LIGHT UNIT ORIGINAL JUWEL HI-LITE & how many watts per lamp?)
Glass bubble counter diffuser & Glass drop checker
Fluval E300 300W digital heater
Eheim 2073 Pro 3 filter
Scissors and Tweezers, Whatever fertilizers/water treatments I have & API test kit
Plants & Mopani wood
Fish
Substrates

What would you take for this setup, for a good price I would seriously consider as I would be coming a long way to collect?

Thanks

If the sale above doesn't go to plan I'd be interested in these fish for 25 pounds

8 Cardinal tetra's
3 Peppered Cories
4 Schwatzi Cories
4 Clown Loach
4 Chain loach
1 Siemese Algae eater
8 or 10 Amani Shrimp

If you'd sell sep that is, I live in Norwich and will pick up, let me know cheers.

No damage to the cabinet or hood, there are a couple of light scratches on the glass but not what you'd call noticeable, I have to look for them to see them. I bought the tank second hand less than a year ago, I think its about 2-3 years old. The light unit is less than a year old, I replaced the original T8 unit with the T5.
Yes the T5 light unit is a jewel Hi lite, 2 X 54W bulbs, I hadn't listed that I have reflectors fitted also.
You've listed the diffuser and drop checker but not the C02, I take it you already have pressurised C02?
For what you have listed I'll take £400. I can throw in 2 x 25 litre containers for water also, I use them for water changes. I would recommend you bring at least another 2 containers of this size as you'll want a minimum of 100 litres of the water to ensure you don't stress out the fish to much.
