Free 12g Cadlights Nano Reef Aquarium Full Setup (ready-to-go)

[Nano sapiens]

Well, after 15 great years of great nano reefing (https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/172031-nano-sapiens-12g-ye-olde-mixed-reef/) it's now time to 'pass it on'.

Location: Near Walnut Creek in Contra Costa Co

This is a very well cared for 12g Cadlights bowfront nano reef aquarium with a few very minor scratches that are invisible when filled with water. Over the years I've made a few modifications such as blacking out the rear chambers with acrylic (to prohibit coralline algae growth) and I made a cover across all three chambers to prevent dust as well as provide a platform for two 'Pet Bottle' ATOs.

Picture of the recently cleaned aquarium (the levelling carpet pad will not show once sand is added). I left all the equipment installed in a 'ready-to-add-water-and-run' condition:



List of items included

1. Eheim 50W heater
2. Analog thermometer
3. DIY 'Complete Spectrum' (LEDGroupBuy)
4. Hydor Flo Rotating Water Deflector (w/DIY micro-snail guard)
5. (2) quart sized 'Pet Bottle' ATOs (5-7 days, depending on the season)
6. Clear acrylic 'front lip' (helps prevent fish launching out from the front glass)

Emergency Backup Equipment:

1. Battery powered air pump
2. Eheim 50W heater

Misc Supplies:

1. Coralife Deep-Six Hydrometer
2. Small MagFloat and Tunze Nano Care Magnet
3. Extra pumps (Tunze 210 gph and original Cadlights 270 gph)
4. Extra Hydor Flo Rotating Water Deflector
5. Various unexpired test kits (Mag, pH, Alk, Cal, but no NO3 or PO4 kits)
6. Gravel vac w/control valve and turkey baster
7. Small rocks and ceramic plugs for frags
8. LED related (extra chips, wire, contact paste)
9. Yellow filter (for taking photos under blue lighting)
10. RedSea 'Blue Bucket' (3/4 full)
11. Seachem Reef Builder (Alk), Seachem Reef Complete (Cal) and Kent Iodine
12. Full 1/4" mesh top cover


PM me if you are interested.

Ralph.

This is an awesome and well thought out nano system @Nano sapiens

Whoever gets this is really already setup for success in terms of equipment plus the community resource of knowledge from the club. Make us proud whoever you are. Lol

I remember your tank from my nano reef.com days! Really well designed tank and a great setup for anyone looking to get a friend, colleague, or kid into the hobby.

I genuinely respect the time and effort you put into this post to give away your tank that you clearly cared for. Hope it goes to a good home.

Going through my storage recently and I noticed I still have this nano tank and all the equipment/extras. Seems a shame to just let it sit when it could be bringing someone real joy and satisfaction.

I also have (4) just like new (no lie) books: All (3) of 'The Reef Aquarium' series (Sprung/Delbeek) and 'Aquarium Corals' (Borneman).

I'd be willing to part with the tank, all the equipment and all four books for just $50 (firm). And if you just want the tank and equipment without the books, as listed it's still a freebie

Local pickup only (Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill area).

I'm in! Mostly the books so anyone else can call dibs on the tank.

Thanks for the interest! I'm trying to move the tank and all by offering up the books for just $50, so it's basically a package deal.

Now if someone just wants the tank (without the books), that'd be a no charge.

I'll grab it all. PIF for the tank if anyone here wants too!

Those books a THE SCORE!

If the tank is still available I'll take it please for my daughter. Thanks!
