Frag Tank Stuff

Looking for...

3. Halide Ballast 250-400W
4. 30-40G breeder
5. Skimmer for 100-200 Gallons

I have a 100 gallon rubbermaid vat. It has a bulkhead near the bottom, then one higher up. can be plugged. I used the lower one for a return pump and the higher one to drain water for waterchanges. looking to get $50 out of it   I believe I even have a couple pieces of egg crate that fit in the curved parts of the tub.

also have a really old kinda rusted (yet working) 250w mh ballast- $25

I may have a parabolic reflector and socket also... i'll have to check storage. $10 if I have it.

also have a 30 breeder? i think the dimensions are 30x18x12... It is drilled in the back, holds water, has a bulkhead included but it is very ugly(wood trim, glass is foggy from calcium deposits in areas)  $15

only thing I dont have is the skimmer.  well I do have one but im wanting to save it for a build coming up.

Illnino, Jeremy: Let me check the dims of those tanks and I'll get back to you on them.

Illnino: I'll take the breeder, I'll shoot you a PM in a bit. Is the ballast magnetic? I just saw that Rich has some, I wanna see if they are electronic. I might have a reflector lined up, I'll get back to you on that. Thanks so much guys.
