Fs: Display Aquarium And Various Equipment

20 September 2014 - 03:35 PM


Hi all,
 
I put this up for sale a few months ago and got a few bites. I admittedly did not get around to responding to emails due to personal issues (death in the family, birth in the family, moving house, work etc) and I apologise for that.
 
I have dropped prices significantly because I need a quick sale.
 
Regards,
 
Anka

Aquarium. Features:

  • $400
  • 4x1.5x2 Display Tank (includes all lids).
  • Approx. 2 years old. Condition is good: Minor scratches and blemishes.
  • Pine cabinet and hood.
  • 3ft T5 lights (approx. 8 months old). 3 tubes. These have been screwed in and are attached to the hood. Can be easily removed.
  • A Universal Rock 3D background is attached with silicon. This can be removed (if desired) with a bit of work.
  • Comes with a few Universal Rock fake rocks which match the background.
  • The tank is drilled and fitted with $300 worth of Hanson plumbing gear. The plumbing allows for all equipment (currently set up for 2x canister filters, chiller/heater, UV and CO2 dosing) to be put in line inside cabinet. Water changes are simple and are done via connecting a hose to the plumbing inside the cabinet and turning a few ball valves to bypass the filters. (Plumbing diagram will be attached soon).
  • Photos coming.

 
Teco 5HP Chiller & Heater:

  • $200
  • Approx. 15 months old.


 


2x 2215 Eheim Canister Filters:

  • $80 each. $130 for both.
  • One is approx. 2 years and the other is 18 months old.
  • Good condition.
  • Comes with filter media (sponges, seachem matrix and noodles).
  • I have a few spare unused pads that I will throw in.

 
11w AquaPond UV Steriliser:

  • $20
  • Approx. 12 months old.
  • Inline.

 
CO2 Dosing System:

  • $100
  • Second hand not sure how old.
  • Includes 2kg bottle, atomiser, solenoid, pH probe, pH controller, calibration fluids, tubing and drop indicator.
  • Bottle is empty but can be easily refilled.
  • Combination of Tunze and Dupla brands.

 
3 Channel Peristaltic Fertiliser Doser:


 
Water Change Hose:

  • $10
  • Approx. 12 months old.
  • 15m.
  • Rated drinking water safe.
  • On a hose wheel.
  • Works with the plumbing in the aquarium cabinet (see above).
  • Photos coming.

 
4ft T5 Light:

  • $100
  • Approx. 22 months old.
  • 4 tubes.
  • Photos coming.

 
Hanna Multiparametre Photometre + Reagents

  • $200
  • See this link for info: http://www.hannainst...more/i:HI 83203
  • I bought this device a couple months ago as I'm colourblind and cannot distinguish the colours from the chemical tests.
  • I've got reagents for the following tests:


8]- Ammonia



8]- Nitrate



8]- Nitrite



8]- Phosphate



8]- Iron



8]- Dissolved Oxygen

  • I've used some of the reagents but I estimate that 90% is still remaining. Expiry dates vary but are all roughly 2016-2017.
  • The Iron test is done using a separate Hanna Checker which I will include with the photometre.
  • It's a super cool and hi tech piece of equipment that gives readings within ~3% accuracy.
  • Comes with two vials, instruction manual, and microfibre cloth for cleaning.
  • I paid ~$1,500 for the device and reagents. I'll be happy to do a demo if you come and have a look at it.

 
Will consider price reduction with the purchase of multiple items. Would prefer to sell the equipment (i.e. filters, chiller/heater, UV, UPS, CO2) together with the aquarium as the set up incorporates all the equipment inline and it operates smoothly. Have other bits and pieces (food, chems, books etc) that I can sell or give away if you come look at the goods.
 
These are at my previous home so I will need to drive there for you to pick the goods up. Therefore, please be certain that you will be purchasing it when we organise to meet.
 
PM me for enquiries or further details.
 
See the pictures and video in my signature for an idea of what it looks like.

Take the lot for $1,800 or $1,500 if you help me take out the gravel and empty the tank. You can have any gravel or plants that are currently in the tank for free.

"universal Rock" Background Disintegrating?

03 November 2013 - 04:14 PM

Hi all

This has been in my tank for around 11 months.

As you can see it is forming a lot of bubbles which occasional rise to the top. There is algae on the background but not enough to produce this sort of oxygen bubbles considering the plants in my tank aren't pearling.

The background looks discolored and seems to have lost some of the rocky texture.

It bubbles at night as well - although only a fraction of what it does during the day.

pH ranges between 6.5 - 7.2

Nothing is added to the water apart from seachem prime, seachem plant fertilizer, and API quick start.

Any idea if it is actually disintegrating, the cause and how I can stop it? Anyone experienced this with universal rocks products?

Thanks

Andrew

Native Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre Are After Cheap/free Fish For Aquaponics

27 October 2013 - 05:39 PM

Hey guys,

 

I volunteer at a native wildlife rehabilitation centre. We have have two large ponds for aquaponics but I suspect (from my little knowledge of AP) that we will need additional equipment.

 

Once that is all sorted I was wondering whether any of you know where we could source some free or cheap fish for aquaponics.

The fish are going to be fed to lizards, birds and turtles.

 

Regards,

 

Andrew

 

P.S. if you have any aquaponics gear that isn't being used and you don't mind donating it that would be fantastic.
