I've been away from the hobby for the past 3 months so I need to research what the going market rate is, but I'll be posting live rock, live sand, and possibly my entire tank setup. I didn't expect to stay in the Valley, but I I'm still here, just moving up North. I'll probably list the equipment though, since I don't know when I'll be able to do another setup of this size in the near future.
The live rock is mostly large vertical tower pieces, totoka with kaelini pieces at the top (and propped up with reef-safe lace rock that sits under the sand)--they look like underwater toadstools. I also have a piece of Great Barrier reef rock, and a Tonga slab. The live sand, I can't remember how much, but it's 4 or 5" high--all calcium based, mostly an even mix of Caribsea oolitic arogonite, and Caribsea reef mix aragonite (the next size up). Rogan Terrance had asked about some of the sand awhile back, so if he's still interested, he has first dibs. I'd prefer to sell all of the rock in large sales to one or two individuals since I'm very busy with moving and a new job and won't have time to sell it off in 10 lb. increments. I think I have about 180 lbs. I've been cooking it w/o lights for the past couple of months, but I have ambient light in the reef room so the rock still has a small amount of algae on it.
The tank is a custom made acrylic w/ oak stand and matching canopy tall enough for halides. 5' long x 24" high x 18" deep. It has 6 T5's driven by normal output ballasts, with the super shiny reflectors--I forget the brand, IC? Custom designed Lifereef sump, 2 Iwaki pumps, ETSS downdraft skimmer.
If anyone is interested in purchasing an entire reef setup including the sand and rock, send me a PM before I post prices and I'll get back to you. I MAY consider trades for nano, but I'm only interested in nano equipment if it's top notch, solid, with new LED lights, shallow is better.
