Hi all. I'm taking down my 330 over the next month or so. I need a break from this big tank so I'm going down to a nano for a while. The goal is to have this down by July 10th. As I get towards the breakdown, I'm going to be selling most of the LR and as much LS as I can and of course, the livestock. Please understand, I will not be able to catch these fish inside this tank. I will have to take dibs from people, sell the rock and drain the tank before I have virtually any shot at catching most of these. :groan:
Some of the hardware is already spoken for but there is some left.
So obviously, I need to get rid of the livestock first so here's that:
Emperor Angelfish ~8", sub adult, just starting to change colors $75 Dibs to NewKid630
Huma Huma trigger ~4" $25 Dibs to NewKid630
Two Hepatus tangs ~6" each $35 each Dibs to dying coral
Bi-color angel ~4" (at least 5 years old, well established, never nipped any corals or clams) $35
Auriga butterflyfish ~4" (MAC certified from DFS) $35 Dibs to NewKid630
Yellow Tang ~5" (I've had this for 7+ years). $35 Dibs to NewKid630
Live Rock. I honestly have no idea how much is in here. Could be 300-400 pounds. I'm going to cherry pick out some for my new nano first. Some of this rock is 7+ years old...back when Florida live rock was still legal to get.
. Some of it was Hirocks base that was put in here and eventually grew up. $3/lb.
Dibs on 100 pounds to NewKid630
Whoops...forgot about my RBTA. Nice, big...split about 2 months ago. I'm keeping the split. But the momma can go. Now the trick is, she is DEEPLY rooted into a large piece of Live Rock, not a chance of getting her out. She's been there for 4 years. She's from the . So either one of the rock buyers buys her too, or I keep that and sell it to someone else. The piece of rock she's in is easily 10 pounds. $40 Dibs to NewKid630
Live Sand: come and get it (once the tanks is getting emptied). This was a DSB, so there's 6" of pure Southdown in here. Bring your own buckets and take what you want. Warning: for those that know DSB's, if you dig down into this, it is going to likely STINK.
Ok gearheads, here's what left on the hardware side:
I'm sure there will be more as I continue to clean up but this is the start. I can get pictures up as time allows.

Ok gearheads, here's what left on the hardware side:
- Barr Aquatics SK5220 dual beckett skimmer and auto shut-off collection cup. Lots of toys on this if you want to discuss. This is a serious skimmer for up to 1000 gallons. $700 Dibs to RobTop
http://www.barraquatic.com/super_skimmers.php
- Panworld 250 pump (equal to an Iwaki 100) runs the above skimmer. $200 Dibs to RobTop
- Ampmaster 3000, like new. Just had an entire new wet-end put on including marine abrasive seals and it's been sitting dry for a while as a hot back-up. $150 (can be sold now)
- Geo 3 chamber media reactor. 1 rig, 3 independent chambers for any media you want (I used phosban and carbon in it). $200 (can be sold now) Dibs to glbtrotter
- Emperor Aquatics 40 watt UV. Old model (no wiper), but brand new quartz sleeve and UV bulb. Never even fired the thing after buying it and replacing the parts. $100 (can be sold now)
- Pulsatron dosing pump. up to 15 GPD. Works fine, somewhat noisy by design, not for your living room, but if you have a fish room or remote sump...jackpot. This this has run 24/7 for 5 years flawlessly. $100 Dibs to BenjieC
- 50 gallon mixing tub with lid and a Mag 7 (5?) plumbed in a recirc with a venturi on it to keep the water oxygenated, integrated float valve to plug your RO feed right into it. $50 (can be sold now) Dibs to Ostrow
- 2 T5 ballasts with endcaps and bulbs (need to be replaced). I run 2x54 watts on each (so 4 bulbs total, 216 watts). This is just a bare ballast, endcaps and 4 single bulb reflectors. $40 each rig.
- Rubbermaid 100 gallon stock tank. Needs a very minor leak repair (like a glob of silicone on the outside and it's done.) $25
- Forgot about my 1/3 HP JBJ chiller. I need to give it a test run because it's been offline for a while but assuming it's fine...$450.
- Red Sea 200 mg Ozone unit with 2 air dryers and beads. (the dial model, not digital one). $175
I'm sure there will be more as I continue to clean up but this is the start. I can get pictures up as time allows.

. I meant whatever the other guys didnt want I would figure out a way to add a few inchs to a 150 gallon tub I have. I then figured that I would add a hundred lbs or so of the rock. 750 lbs is a lot but it sounds like plenty to go around. I can buy a few more buckets and make a few trips if need be. But I only want whatever is left after the others grab some. I am getting kind of excited about the new tank. I still need to figure out a good lie, I mean story, I mean reason to give my wife :spin1: Maybe I could sneak it in while she is at the store.
