Free with a catch; needs to be picked up from Te Awamutu on or before this Saturday. I can help with moving/carrying and can disassemble the tank interior prior to pick up. I set this up to attempt to make a stable system with low stock - was successful and I can never detect any nitrates, so I have just trimmed the plants and left it be generally. Water changes to manage mineral build up in water only essentially. Rimless 900x45x450 aquarium. First set up in 2021. Hardscaped and planted heavily. Fluval 207 canister filter and everything you see in the photos included, including the stand which is custom made out of 25mm laminated bamboo. Have glass aquarium bits so it's not as visible. Programmable LED light. Current stock is one geriatric neon tetra (my tetra's were all original when the aquarium started and have slowly dropped off in the last year). 4-5 (not sure buggers won't stay still to count) Borneo suckers/loaches - I leave the algae on some of the glass that grows where the sunlight hits it for these guys as they seem to like it. These were all also added not long after the tank was set up so based on the lifespan on google they are likely all geriatric as well. An indeterminate number of kuhli loaches (possibly zero - I very rarely see them). I presume these guys have bred in this tank before as we saw a very small kuhli in the tank a few years after set up and all the originals were quite large. E-mail me if keen. Don't want any money for it, would prefer someone experience with planted tanks and interested in keeping the existing livestock have it for their enjoyment.
