Bio
The adventure in fish keeping began in 1954. My friend, Carl Vischer, and I would catch Tessellated darters and Blacknose dace from a local creek, but things changed dramatically when I went to college and met Bruce Gebhardt. Very quickly we realized that we had mutual interests in fish, and he lived only 15 minutes from me. During the 40+ years of our friendship, we collected from Pennsylvania/New Jersey to Florida. Also during those years, Bruce became the president of the North American Native Fish Association as well as the editor of their publication. Simultaneously, he developed an interest in photography where he concentrated on everything alive during his collecting trips. Upon his untimely death, I became the purveyor of a few trash bags full of color slides which I was able to convert to an electronic slide show. For my presentation, "North American native fish suitable for a 20-gallon long aquarium," we can all witness the results of Bruce's work.

135G Aquarium with 33G sump -- $400 OBO in Rockville
Up for sale is a 135G aquarium with 33G sump and solid wood stand and canopy. It's in great condition with no leaks! I just need to get rid of it because I'm refinishing my basement.
I've been keeping it as a planted freshwater aquarium, but it will be just as easy to run it as a saltwater tank. I can't emphasize just how reliable and low maintenance this aquarium has been.
The tank itself is 72 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 24 inches tall. With the stand and hood, it's about 74 inches wide, about 20 inches deep and 60 inches tall
Comes with an Eheim CompactON 3000 (792 GPH) pump, 600W Titanium Aquarium Heater System from Bulk Reef Supply (includes Inkbird digital thermostat), all plumbing and bulkheads needed, 3-inch Poret foam filters (https://www.swisstropicals.com/filtration-shop/poret-foam-shop/) for the sump, glass tops for the main aquarium and sump, and an LED fixture bright enough to grow low-light plants. I can include the sand from the tank in 5 gallon buckets if you'd like.
You can see how it was set up here --> https://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/threads/setting-up-my-135g-with-sump.36809/
I just moved all of the livestock and plants out of it, but still have it up and running with water and sand in it just in case you want to see it in operation and verify the condition prior to purchasing it.
I have a truck and I can deliver it if it's not too far away. Just a warning, though, I'm much more likely to be willing to deliver it the closer to $400 the sales price is...

Free Anubias plants
UFG are 3 bags of plants. Two contain larger Anubias sp (I can't recall exactly which species they are).
The smallest bag has smaller Anubias plants and some Susswassertang.
There is also some hair algae on the plants as I let things get a little out of control after I decided to tear down the tank. However, they're healthy otherwise and FREE obviously
Pickup in Rockville, MD near Richard Montgomery High School.

For sale are about a dozen pieces of driftwood from the 135 gallon aquarium that I'm tearing down. Milk jugs from my winter plant sowing shown for scale.
They currently have some algae and susswassertang on them, but the cold and dry should kill them with no issue.
Price is $50. And pickup is in Rockville, MD near Richard Montgomery High School.
