450G Setup For Sale

Looking to sell one of our tanks as a complete setup that has been up and running since 2013. The tank is currently operational and has no leaks but does have some scratches which could be buffed out. Will need some time to clear out the fish unless the buyer is interested in those as well. Current fish include (8) large Diamondfish, (1) Foxface, (1) Maculiceps Tang.

The tank will need a good cleaning but it’s not too hard as you can fit yourself inside the tank……trust me I have done it. It’s been fun to have but just have not been able to enjoy it as much for the past year and feel it’s time for it to go. This is a fully operational setup.

Here is a link to the original installation/build (note not all the items from the original build are still in-use today).

The tank is in our downstairs area which is right next to the garage. The tightest part of getting it out of the house will be getting it through the door going to the garage. For this, I removed the bulkheads for the overflows which can be done again but 2 of them are epoxied in so I am going to suggest replacing the overflows as those will need to be cut at the base of the tank. I still have the same lifting dolly used to lift it into place so don’t mind helping with that part, but the buyer needs to be ready to tackle the move on their own.

450G TruVue Acrylic Tank with island overflow
180G TruVue Acrylic Sump
Pump - Reeflo barracuda/hammerhead hybrid – this pump was installed February 2, 2025. I also have the prior one which needs to be rebuilt. I should still have 1 extra seal kit.
Skimmer – My Reef Creations ORCA Pro 1 – if you have never used these Skimmers, you will like it. It has a Reeflo Snapper pump which is in great shape and only about a year old.. I have a second one but I’m not sure it can be re-built. I should still have 1 extra seal kit.
Older Neptune Apex controller with Display. Will include the probes, Auto Feeder and various modules. Also has (3) of the older style EB8’s. Think I still have the WAV module but not the power heads.
Lights – (2) Hydra FiftyTwo HD LED Black.
RX-Z 3.0 Zeolite Reactor - Vertex
Media reactor – think it is from Adaptive Reef
AQUA UV Classic 80 Watt – needs to be cleaned up. Also have a 2nd dual bulb UV but it too will need to be cleaned.
Various power heads. 3 in total.
2 Titanium heaters
Stand – Custom wood/metal.
  • I built the metal part of the stand. It comes in 4 pieces so moving it won’t be too hard. Our floor is not level, so I needed the stand to be adjustable.
  • The wood part of the stand comes apart in 3 pieces. It is a great storage area and not structural. The full load of the tank is handled by the metal portion.
The setup is in use now and the tank & sump both have live rock in them. I have no clue how many pounds, but all the rock is included. The pictures in the link above with the tank complete with the rock is about the same amount of rock in it today but split between the tank and the sump.

$3,500 for the everything.
