I've been eyeing this setup for awhile, but don't have the cash at the moment or know if this is a good deal or not. I'd love to get a high tech setup though
PRICE REDUCED FROM $900 TO $499
Up for sale is a complete aquarium package designed for creating a freshwater planted aquarium. Properly done, an aquarium setup to grow live plants is far more spectacular than the typical aquarium done with plastic plants, rocks, etc. It can truly be the centerpiece of a living room and a real conversation starter. I spent 3 expensive years in the "school-of-hard-knocks" building this system, picking out the proper heating, lighting, UV sterilization, and filtration equipment that work well together. I ran the system for another 2 years beautifully, but other hobbies and travel now demand my attention. So, I carefully took the system down last month. If you're interested in developing your own freshwater planted aquarium, for sale here is everything you need (except water, fish, and gravel) to get going. Major pieces of equipment (and original pricing) included are as follows:
Top Fin 55 Gallon Aquarium: $109

I've got over $2,000 into this system, but if you want it, the whole package is yours for $499 o.b.o. (local pickup only please). I have lots of additional pictures...just let me know and I can send them....or come by and have a look.
