well I think it's time to start thinking about selling the system and move on to another place in my life. not sure where yet but I know it's somewhere other than the fish tank. we have been remodeling the house and working alot and getting married and although she doesn't want to get rid of it I do. I am the one who pays for it and takes care of it for the most part so I get to say on this one. she's the boss of everything else. been putting this part off for months just to make sure but i keep feeling it's the right thing to do. we may go to a smaller tank like a seahorse cube but that has yet to be decided.
there is very little I will sell before the takn stand and canopy go. I will wait years if I have to. I have to keep enough of the system to keep everything healthy and worth selling. I have a buyer for the livestock and rock so it is only for sale to someone else if I don't have to deliver it. right now the deal is $1500 delivered for the livestock only. this includes the rock. it's not a have to sell to them deal so if someone else wants to give me more for the livestock and pick it up I will do that. this is the only way I will sell the livestock. it's a package deal for the livestock. all or nothing. no taking a single piece out for anyone.
livestock includes about 40 ricordea of different colors. I think 4 barney purple ricordea's bright pink, orange, green and mulitcolors. a few yuma's also
2 real rose anemones about 8 inches
green toadstool about 6-7 inches
big white polyp toadstool
frogspaw and a torch that are decent size
xenia of different kinds
red red mushrooms
40 or more acro's ,some nice some, not so nice
200 lb. of live rock or so
bipartitus leopard wrasse
radiant wrasse
2 regal tangs
yellow wrasse
pair of allardi's
3 bangaii cardinals 2 male 1 female sure to breed someday
2-3 two spot flame cardinals
juvenile atlantic blue tang
pair of royal grama's
a good size marine betta that may not be included. my wife wants to take it to work so if she still wants it she gets to keep it.
3-4 chalk bass
that may or may not be it. I am in the other room and am going by memory only. my memory needs help so bare with me.


the tank is a 265 perfecto with an oak plywood stand and canopy I never got to finish. needs doors and trim. doors are $400 approximately locally for nice oak raised panels. I won't be supplying them but I will throw in the stain and clear coat I still have to match what is already finished. a friend most of you on here know said he will finish everything for the buyer for a fee of course but the end look will determine the price. I know him as being very fair. everything is less than a year old unless I say otherwise. the price for this set not to be broken up for any reason besides full set price payment is $1400.
I also have a sequence snapper 2500gph for $150 it will come with a brand new seal for you to install for free.
1 shuran calcium reactor with bottle and regulator for $500
1 aquacontroller2 with 12 x10 outlets for $350 temp ph and orp probes included
1 70 gallon or so sump $150 . has 1 2 inch bulkhead installed. 3/8 thick material that holds 4 socks.
1 euroreef 30 inch tall 8 inch body cs series recirculating skimmer. feeds with a 5000 pump and recircs with a 9000 pump. kicks series butt. $600
1 tunze 7095 controller $150 newer
1 tunze 6080 2 years old $75
2 tunze 6100 2 years old $200 each
2 tunze 6000 $200 each these are newer
lights are t5's and I have yet to set a price for all the pieces but they are 4 ft long and 3 ft long sets actinic , daylight and actinic plus bulbs.
1 water making station not including an ro unit. 2 44 gallon brute cans. I will get pics later of that.
that is all I can think of now.
food goes with livestock

remember I am not selling any live stock seperate. I am not selling the livestock before the tank is paid for in cash. I can take the livestock where i have it sold the day before the tank is picked up no problem. I don't want an empty tank stinking up my living room.
a total price for everything with livestock is $5200 firm. I did all the negotiating for you by taking money off the total added up price.
thank everyone and anyone for looking. thanks even more if you buy.

Just wanted to note that I have seen this tank many times and it is absolutly awsome, GREAT colors and top notch equiptment. Him and his wife are great people. So have confidence that when asking him questions the answere youll get are correct.

Bump for Rob, Good luck man and let me know if theres any way I might be able to help you. Thanks for all the help you provided for me when I needed it and I needed alot :D Good luck again and happy holidays
 
Well i see you made the decision. Good luck. I have considered down sizing myself and just using my 72g and offing the 200g.
 
thanks mike too kind.

yeah big tanks aren't for poor people. I set this one up pretty efficiently and is decent when considering power consumption but I can't not spend alot on it.
 
man this is a real shame. i was truly looking forward to watching this tank grow and mature since im still new to all of this. i especially loved those allardi clowns. i remember when it was just rocks curing in your garage. very nice tank, equipment, and livestock. good luck

I guess that might be small but they don't normally get alot bigger do they? 4 inches I would think max. that might be an extreme case.
then again like I said none of the livestock will be seperated. gramma's are simple to pair. get them small they are just like clowns just dominant opposites I think. maybe te same though.
 
Rob,

Im sorry to see you get out of the Big tank leauge its been quite a pleasure...Let me know if your wanting to sell some of the acros seperately or as a bundle ... maybe I could at least buy my table milli back ? lol... I dont have a ton of room but always willing to try and fit a bit more in the good ol system! Happy Holidays and best wishes with things to come :)

Charles-
 
your table milli? the purplish green one? the green purple tip didn't make it. I almost lost both but the purple has made a nice recovery and is showing good growth now. like I said at this time it's going to one place. I don't think I want the agony of watching it dwindle down to rock and a few fish. the hassle of getting in there a time or 5 a day for one little thing. then I will be stuck with a few nobody wants. if I decide to seperate I will of course come here first. it's too easy to do it all in one day though and it's already set up to work that way.

and thank you charles same to you.
hey will we get kicked off rc for saying merry christmas or is this one of the few american places we can still say it?
 
well I decided to try my luck on ebay. everyone here is interested in everything but the tank so far so it will run there for 10 days twice. I can always end the auction early if someone is interested in the tank. the rest of the stuff will be easy to sell. the tank is my main concern. thanks to everyone and I will keep this thread updated with my progress and if I have anything left. I have bunch of little things like chemicals I will be selling seperate. check my other threads.
