    Hi. I have a 240x60x60cm tank on a metal stand. Fitted a Boyu background - looks like rock. R3000 onco. A Claritec 15000UV canister filter with build in UV light. 33L canister volume. R2000. A 5500 litre Atman internal/external pump. R500. Filter was used for around 3 months but packed in box. Pump was used for maybe a month. Would like to sell or swap this for a nice 6ft venter type trailer.

    I have 4 1.2m tanks with different fish in each tank. Lots of plants in tanks as well. Would like to sell each tank with fish in tank. I have 5 Tetratec EX1200 canister filters which 2 are about a month old. R1000 each. Also 2 Eheim 2213 canister filters but don’t have the original plumbing for the filters. Made some custom made inlet and outlet pipes. I will only sell a filter with a tank and not separate.

    A rough idea of what is in a tank:

    Tank 1 has 10 red rainbows, some cherry barbs (10+), rummies (10+), white cloud minnows (10+), breeding pair cockatoo red, bronze corrrys (7), Bolivian rams (4), a few cardinals, lots of plants, bogwood and rocks

    Tank 2 has 10 Celebes rainbows, 5 whiptails and around 5-6 albino Corys (breeding pairs), 4 balloon rams and I think 8 phantom tetras. Also a lot of plants and bogwood. There should be 3 various ancistrus in the tank as well

    Tank 3 has around 25 Congo tetras, 4 very nice size clowns, a fire mouth and a few foxes. Also a few peppered and sterbai Corys. Should have a few horse face loaches in as well and 2 Banjo’s. There is a huge helicopter in for display as the clowns use it for hiding. Also a lot of plants and a power head.

    Tank 4 has 5-6 redline torpedo barbs, around 5 foxes, 8 green barbs and around 30-40 various tetras. A spotted ancistrus as well. There is a sunken ship (2 pieces) in the tank as well with some nice bogwood, plants and a power head.

    All tanks have heaters and foam filters can be given with. Air pumps should not be a problem as well.

    I have another 4 60cm tanks (one is a sump) and 5 45cm tank as well. One 60cm tank is up and running full of plants. I have a few bags full of pebbles (West Coast mix) and sand. Also a 20kg bag of zeolite. Removes ammonia from water and can be used as a bio filter as well. Lots of heaters and Boyu foam filters as well, some power heads, lots of plastic plants and some more bogwood. I should have an 8 watt UV light as well. I have 2 T5 Odyssea light which has 2 54W tubes fitted per unit. R600 each, but will only sell with a tank. A very nice Eheim automatic feeder that’s around R900 new. Can be set to feed 4 times a day with built in fan and digital display. Four timers (2 digital) for the light. Some normal fluorescent light that work well.

    The 1.2m tanks is on a metal stand that takes 3 tanks. Not painted. Can arrange a better price if someone is willing to take the lot as I need the money (trying to save) to by a decent lugguage trailer. There is more fish but can’t remember all the names and quantities. The canisters filters will be sold with a tank or after the tanks has been sold.

    PM me if interested.
