He got a 180 gallon tank, stand, CA+ reactor, skimmer, light fixture, 1300 lbs of sand... I'm sure there were additional things but, this is what I remember from him and I talking.

He delivered from Genoa City, WI. Right on the WI/IL line. Cost me $75 bucks for him to load and deliver for gas money. Either way I was going to have to pay for gas, but didn't have to take the time to drive there and back and load it all up either. Just a short list:

-180 gal w/ corner overflows
-metal stand (more room underneath for sump, skimmer, etc) Going to skin it in wood.
-Brian Ferguson from reefs.org designed skimmer with GRI 520 pump
-Brian Ferguson designed CA Reactor w/ Iwaki md20 pump
-Spectrapure 90gpd ro/di
-GRI 520 return pump
-4 6' white reflectors w/ 8 VHO bulbs, endcaps, icecap wiring harness x 2
-Kangaroo 324 doser
-Lamotte SW test kit (look this one up......almost $300 for a test kit)
-40 gallon clarity plus acrylic refugium/sump tank
-8 - 12x12 boxes of rock
-33 - 40lb bags of sand
-2 50lb boxes of IO salt

And I think that is it. I am sure there is more that I am forgetting. Should be a good project for me.

I found him on Reef Central. He had a 180 and 120 for sale. Been talking to him for almost a month now working out details.

As far as how much, about 8 Benjamins including extra sand, gas and this:

Lol.....no, it cost me the boat too. It is an $1100 toy if you go buy one brand new. This one I bought from the factory direct because the water pump bracket inside was somehow broken. Instead of putting a new one on, which I did in 10 minutes, they sold it to me for $400 two years ago. It hurt letting it go, but now I have a new toy and the other guy has a new toy. Works out for both of us, but I'm getting the "if only I could kill you" look more. I should have taken a picture of her face when she walked in and saw it. (she knew "a tank and some stuff" was coming)

Prolly similar to the look my wife had on her face when I got home from my trip to Madison to pick up my 90 setup from an Ebay win. Or even worse when she walked into the garage and saw the 150. She was speechless, I mentioned that I had never seen her speechless before, which luckily got a smile and I figured I was ok

Sounds like you got an awesome deal Scott!
