FS: established 20-gallon planted aquarium with fish, all needed equip

[harlanh]

I’m selling my 20-gallon (long) planted aquarium with everything needed to re-establish it in your home. The ecosystem has been consistent for about 25 years, based mostly on Southeast-Asian river fish and plants, and is very stable and healthy.

Here’s what’s included --

The aquarium:

20-gallon-long (30” x 12” x 12”) tank, perfect for plants, about 18 months old
Two full-spectrum LED lights
Glass cover
Power filter
Ladder aerator for CO2 system
Algae-killing UV pump
Heater
Sand and gravel substrate with some larger rocks and bog-wood
Plants including java moss, java fern, and several cryptocorynes
Six fish: three barbs, two danios (I think?), and an algae eater
Malaysian trumpet snails (good for the substrate)

Also included:

Wooden stand, painted white
Power strip with day and night timed outlets
CO2 system using yeast, baking soda, and sugar, with a solenoid valve so CO2 is only added to the tank during the day
5-gallon bucket, hose, filter brush, glass scraper, etc
Extra filter material
Fish food
Vacation feeder
Random parts acquired over many years
Some books, if you’d like them
As much free advice as you need to get the tank set up!

To move it, we’ll drain the water down to about half an inch. The plants will be fine -- I’ve moved it this way many times. The fish we can put in a bag for transit -- we’ll hope for the best.

You’ll need a car, some sort of cart, and probably an extra set of hands. To set it up, you’ll need a level, some shims, and probably an extra extension cord or two.

$200 / offer. I'm in Clinton Hill. Photos available here: https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/f...702927034.html
