I'm going to part ways with my 125 acrylic, with stand, sump, lights and several accessories. Would like to off load it as is, it's soft water biotope. The person picking up will probably need 6-8 buckets for the sand. This tank is lightly stocked(for it's size), highly planted and would go back together very easy after a short trip, the sand is rich in everything the plants like and will keep the cycle rolling. There is a privacy tint applied to the back that makes the sunset glow work the way it does, in conjunction with the programmable fluval lights.

My 3D back ground all in one 29, with light, timers, stand, lightly stocked, moderately planted. This is a very easy move, you'll need 2 buckets for the sand and it will fill right back up and go, this is currently soft water biotope but the plants and couple inhabitants could also thrive in harder water.

44 gallon pent corner tank, corner matten, fluval lights and stand. Currently Tanganyika stocked with neo multi and a calvus. Heaviest planted Tanganyika tank I've seen done, but very easy to set back up This one will need a few empty buckets to move.

Lots of water changing equipment, and spare material to give away after the last tanks gone, I think I will keep my tiny shrimp/snail jungle so all I'm keeping is my nano equipment.

I can provide recipes for my magical water, and a lot of the stuff you'll need to make it yourself while you figure out how these tanks work for you.

If anyone is interested in just the 125 dry with running gear only, no fish/sand etc, I am firm at $500, and will need time to sell off my plants and fish. If you take it as it is, I'm very, very flexible to see it go to a good home as it is.

I'm looking to have these picked up by their new owners mid June, moving fish tanks is a thing that goes best when planned a bit. The easier your schedule is, the lower the minimum "price". Most of you active folks here on fish box have been like fish family to us, I'm willing to help move them and set them up etc. That's also why I'm not listing any specific prices here, PM me and offer what you'd like to pay, it's not going to be a high bidder situation, I already know a few places I'd love to see these tanks live.

I'll post a few pictures in the comments when I get a chance, prepping to move while we finish up a hectic baseball season and school year kept me pretty busy unfortunately.

Would love to see pics of the 125 setup...
It's a clear for life acrylic, still set up basically the same as it was last time you visited. This sunset effect happens gradually across a few hours every night, later than this it doesn't really photograph well

Tons of crypt took over the bottom as it's overdue for a thinning and there's a touch of staghorn grabbing onto the Anubias. The staghorn is easily handled with a spritz of hydrogen peroxide during trimmings or if we move the tank.

3 heaters smaller (150-100 watts each) heaters in the sump, DC return pump, bio balls under floss and a foam block before the bulkhead. Fluval Bluetooth programmable main lights and a locally programmable white/blue plant specific led across the back. Sump light puts the sun spot in the sunset program and is also multi color controlled at the light.

20-30 rummynose
Who knows how many bristlenose long and short fin,
Some cory cats, clown and tiger pleco, Amano shrimp, one lazy SAE, snails.

The other tanks:
29, matten then floss over bio balls, and foam, single heater and dual pumps with air injection hidden behind the 3d background. Nicrew grow light on a timer. There are a few endlers and BNP in here, just hiding.

44 gallon pent corner tank, rear corner matten, DC pump and single heater, Bluetooth programmable fluval plant lights that also follow my sunset program currently. neo multi, Calvin the calvus, and a giant Anubias tree that needs to be sectioned and weighted down again.

By flexible price, I mean if one of you, or a close friend of yours is interested in any of them as they are, they will basically cost you buckets and gas money and maybe a pizza. I wouldn't turn down money if you see the value in the plants etc but I'm not super concerned, this is a hobby to me, not a business. I can move them this weekend (including Friday). I'm planning to list on Facebook etc Friday night.

Sorry it took so long to reply, we have been crazy busy.
