50 gallon breeder sump for sale. First chamber has a bubble tower that can take 2 drain lines, that flows into protein skimmer chamber, then three baffles (over, under, over) into a large return chamber (I had lots of liverock here).
Tank is glass, baffles are plexiglas. Attached with Weld-on 40 and silicon.
Comes with a plexiglas probe holder, with an egg-crate 'guard' to avoid the probes getting hit with liverock.
Also has a plexiglas tube holder to secure lines from ATO, calcium reactor, lift pumps, etc. Tubes fit in tight and will not move or get knocked out.
The protein skimmer chamber is big enough to hold an SWC 160Cone skimmer.
Deminsions of tank:
36 and 1/4" wide by 18 and 1/4" deep by 19" tall

Skimmer compartment: (just measuring to the corner of the bubble tower, so the space where you could actually put a skimmer:

12" by 9 and 3/4". Water hight is 14 and 1/4" for that chamber (so you can do calculations for protein skimmer max height. They usually have a set amount of water depth they should be in. I had a little platform built for mine with 1" pipe legs and a plexiglas surface to keep my skimmer in about 8" of water. I have TONS of plexiglas if you want a piece for a skimmer stand)
All the seals on the tank were redone about 2.5 years ago, so it should have a lot of life left in it.

I have detailed plans for constructing a stand that holds this sump and a 75 gallon display tank. Just ask if interested

I am in the seattle Central District.
 
I have taken my tank down and would love to get rid of this last piece of equipment. It is a great sump, with plenty of size to hold tank water in case of a power failure. Has 3 baffles and a bubble tower. I used it on a 75 gallon tank, but it is big enough for a 120 or even 150. If anyone is interested, price is negotiable. Would love to get it taken away though. Would be sad to send a good tank to the dump. Tank was rebuilt with all new seals about 2 years ago. Could even be used for an AIO setup if that is what you are looking for.

Any takers?
