Now available - make an offer (serious offers only please as this is a complete system ready to go)

[Proteus]

I will also have a 5ft x 2.5ft x 2ft braceless tank (open top) on a standard height cabinet (750mm) including sump, background and a 3 x 150w metal halide light available soon. (this tank has only been used to grow out peppermint BN's and was originally built to be a planted display tank).

Other things I am contemplating selling are 2 x young sailfin plecos plus my breeding colony (3M, 2F) of Peppermint BN's including 3-4 lots of juvies (totalling approx 50-75 between 2.5cm and 7cm). (the BN's will only be sold as 1 lot and it would need to be a serious offer as the 5 adults regularly produce fry)

Hi Proteus
I live in melbourne so do not know where you are actually situated.
Could you explain where in NSW you actually are. Sydney suburb,100 miles north of sydney etc. Hopefully south that would be great.
Do you know what shipping expenses would be to melbourne?

Look i am a novice when it comes to tank setups like this so do not know what value you place on an item on this. i want to make an offer but a realistic one are we talking $1000 or what.

Also is there any lighting with this tank?
Is it easy to setup as it looks awfully complicated but i want to keep Discus so a good tank would be needed.

Any further info you could supply would be appreciated.

Cheers Sam

Shipping to Melbourne is not an option due to weight and size (plus major risk of breakage).

There is no lighting that is being offerred with this tank as the Giesemann T5 unit that was used on it is going on another tank, or will be sold on its own (the light brand new is approx $1,000 and it is only a few months old and has hardly been used).


how much do u want it 4?

It is up for auction (with a reserve price set) so its value will be based on what potential buyers want to pay.
