So the time has come to get rid of this beautiful tank. I've waited as long as I could and just couldn't find a way around it. I will begin by trying to sell the system as a whole first just based on the fact that it will be easier for both parties. If I do, however, get much interest in selling the items separate then I will do so at that time. Until that time, it will stay as one unit. I've had the system up and running for about a year now. The gentleman that I bought it from had it set up for a little over a year as well. Some of the items I kept are around the 2 to 3 year old mark but most items are about a year old. I will specify below which items are which. All except one item is in perfect running condition. The tank came with a sea swirl that I never fixed. Other than that item, the rest of the pieces work as they should. So then now let me give you the juicy details.

It is a Custom 150g Leemar tank. It measure 5' x 2' x 2' and was sealed with black silicone. The overflow was custom designed by the previous owner to be a Herbie style drain system with a true union ball valve for easy adjustments. Both the main drain and emergency drain are 1 1/2" schedule 40 pvc pipes, spray painted black by previous owner. The return pipe along with the manifold are all 1" pvc pipe, spray painted black. The manifold has 4 ports and at each port the flow is controlled by a true union ball valve.

The stand and canopy were also custom built by the previous owner to fit the dimensions of this tank. The stand is 62" long x 25 1/2" deep x 31 1/2" tall but will need an extra 6 inches behind the tank to fit the drain and return pipes. The canopy measure 62" long x 25 1/2" deep x 12" tall. The canopy has two doors placed at the front for easy access to the top of the tank or you could simply lift the top of the canopy for full access. All in all the dimensions of the system are 62" long x 65 3/4" tall x 31 1/2" deep. Both the inside of the canopy and stand were coated in a water resistant paint and were top coated with a water resistant clear coat. According to the previous owner, the sump area could hold around ten gallons of water in case of an overflow. From my experience though the water never gets close to the top of the sump.

The sump is a custom 3/8" AA sump specifically designed to go with this stand. It measures 38" long x 19" deep x 18" tall. Chambers are as follows: chamber one is the drain, skimmer and media reactor chamber. The water then flows through three baffles (over, under, over) into the return chamber. The last chamber could be used for refugium or chaeto only or for whatever else you like. It has a pipe and true union ball valve that splits off from the return pipe that go directly into that chamber. On the left side of the sump there is a 10 gallon ATO container. On the right side of the sump I have fit a Geo 618 calcium reactor, 2 separate seaside aquatic rectors, and a 20lb C02 tank with a dual stage regulator. Its a pretty tight fit BUT it has worked perfectly thus far.

I tried to be as thorough as I could possibly be but nobody is perfect so I could have missed something. If you have any questions please PM me and I will try my best to get back to you as soon as I can. Lowballers will be ignored. I understand the price of the system is not what some of you would be willing to pay but I believe my price on the system to be very fair according to prices based on sales here on the forums. Again I would like to sell as a whole but if I do receive enough interest for many items I will separate and sell then. Thank you for reading and now on to the crappy pictures lol
