Standard 65 gallon glass tank, 2 years old, have custom canopy with Aquactinics TX5 HO 200W fixture (39W x 5 36" bulbs). See link for description. New TX5 is worth $445, but this is a discontinued model.

The tank is sitting on a wood base, which captures water drips and splashes from the iron stand. The canopy and wood base are both 2 years old and could use a bit more varnish on the exposed surfaces. The iron stand is 7 years old and still functional,
Below the main tank, is a 38 gallon refugium, which is drilled in the back, (has insert barbed bulkhead to hose fitting for a pump return hose. The refugium has a Current USA Nova Extreme160W fixture ( 39W x 4 36" bulbs), with an extra icecap vent fan on it. This is also a discontinued model, new at $250 See link for description.

Connecting the tank to refugium, is a Eshopps Overflow Box PF-800, leading to a removable bubble trap/baffle to prevent water splash, the refugium water level is set high.
Looking to sell the lights, canopy, 65 gallon tank, stand, refugium, overflow/baffles as a set, since a drilled 38 gallon refugium has no other use besides being under this tank.
My costs are about:
$180 for the 65 gallon
$445 Aquactinics main light fixture
$150 canopy
$75 iron stand
$70 for the drilled 38gallon refugium
$250 for the Nova Extreme refugium fixture
$60 for the overflow box
Which adds up to $1230+shipping/tax if new.
Take the main tank, canopy and light fixtures for $400 and get the rest for free.
Also have about 100 pounds of live sand, free part of package to a future marine reef owner. Bring a couple of buckets!
