It's a good deal, but you can't ship the co2 container if it has co2 in it.

Only if you want to go that route, autodosing isn't a must have, but just a want.

What is PPS, and what exactly are "macro and micro tanks?"

Great setup, it's a steal for $200. If I didn't already have one, I would be on that like a fat kid on a doughnut. Is that a Milwaukee high pressure regulator?

Not that bad of a deal, but you could get it lower. The regulator sells for about $90 brand new, which means $40-45 used. The tank brand new is around $50, and less new. Filled it should only be $50 tops. Depending on what he has for the reactors. I'd ask how old the tank is, although it looks pretty new....looks like the ones aqauariumplants.com sells (not sure if they all look the same).

The PPS pro info is covered pretty well here PPS-Pro - Perpetual Preservation System and there is a lot of good info on other stuff as well. The micro/macro mention is micro and macro ferts...same stuff that is dosed for EI dosing. It uses all the same stuff. The main difference (I think) is estmative index is based on an abundance of nutrients or maybe even an overdose, or a lack of any limiting factors in plant growth and health and the tank is reset with a weekly 50% water change. PPS pro doses very specific amounts and requires some testing, but you only dose what you need and you can get away with less often water changes. I think those are the main differences.

im gonna offer less than that for all of it, he has a bunch of other things as well, so maybe buy everthing from him, they just had a babie and dont have time for anything other than the baby so im gonna try to get everthing he has for a steal, he said he has a 125 tank as well, with 3 filters, heaters and all, i dont have room for it but might bring it home if the price is good, ill read on the PPS PRO, he said everthing was bought new in march of this year, and he had all the receipts to prove so i will see, thanks again Ben

Interesting stuff. Rob - a Milwaukee, just like any other regulator that hooks directly to the CO2 bottle, is a high-pressure regulator. It has dual gauges - one for the high pressure side (the bottle), at between 10-200 psi, and a low pressure (outlet) side. High pressure regulators are commonly just called regulators because many don't even bother with a low pressure regulator - they use a needle valve instead.
