Hopefully the photos attach properly.

It with a heavy heart that I need to part with my aquariums. I am going to immigrate soon. I need to declutter before put my house on the market.

To be honest I don't feel like trying to work out what this setup is worth. Reasonable offers will be considered. I am not going to split up it up as then I will have problems with livestock, etc.

I originally had a friend who was keen on this, but I suspect that the thought of moving it has put him off (he has a steep driveway and then flight of difficult garden stairs up to his house). My back is so-so and I can't help him move it.

I have 3 smaller aquariums that I will post later.

Aquarium:

• Professionally built 150 x 60 x 60cm (nominally 540 litres)
• 10mm glass, cross braced, etc.
• Drilled for a sump but holes currently blanked.
• Steel stand made from 38mm square tube.

Hardware:

• Homemade hood and LED lights
• Fluval FX6 external canister filter
• Eheim Professional 3 - 600 external canister filter
• Sobo internal filter (for circulation)
• Sobo 2 outlet air pump and air stones
• Sun Sun 1000W heater-thermostat

Livestock:

• 5x Firemouth cichlids (Thorichthys meeki)
• 3x Neon Blue Acara cichlids (Andinoacara pulcher)
• 6x Colombian tetras (Hyphessobrycon columbianus)
• 2x Siamese Algae Eaters (Crossocheilus oblongus) (yes, I know they aren't from central America)
• 1x Pleco (don't judge me - it was a rescue)

Aquascape:

• 4-5 large pieces of mopane roots
• Langa aquarium soil covered by fine river gravel.
• A bunch of smooth river pebbles.
• I have a full CO2 dosing system but I haven't used it for ages. It should still work fine.
• What's left of a small fortune of plants that were re-scaped by the the firemouths which are trying to breed.

Please DM me.

 

I may well consider slightly unreasonable offers too.

Btw, I counted again and there are 6x firemouths.

 

Hi Would you be willing to sell the fire mouths?

 

Yes. I do have someone interested in the hardware but not the livestock. But they are great friends with the pleco and don't want to leave her behind.

 

Please Pm me your number maybe i can take them all.

 

Thanks! All items advertised sold.
