Breaking down system, sps and some other up for grabs. Colonies mostly

[Smite]

I'm leaning towards breaking down completely. I'm going to start by selling off some of my colonies/frags that are not encrusted to the rock. That will free up some room so i can cut the others from the rock and post them up as well. Some I plan to just cut the base of so feel free to contact me about something you see. Once i cut it I'll set a price.

SSC - I think i can get that whole bushed out area in once piece. $100. It'll be cut from rock at time of sale* for now.
Purple green tenuis from TGC $30 (Above SSC

Panope Birdsnest Colony $40 - my nitrates have lowered so it has that light look to it now

Green with red polyps acro colony $80. Thin growth pattern for me. Its on a rock i can remove. The small encrusted piece on the Tonga branch is not included. That goes with the the "tri-color" val.

Tricolor thats not so tri....unless you count brown and pale along with blue. Decent colony though and has the previous acro encrusted on teh same piece of tonga $100

Tenuis - thing pops full light and blues, doesnt matter. $130

Aussie piece that came back from the dead. Looking good and starting to cover up its old skeleton. $60
To the right my PC Rainbow is starting to color up again from a mini crash in December. Good size small colony $120 (This thing was lit up at one point, check my build thread)

Acro - Down low light it was greenish. This is high light. Light pink with some green polyps, pretty. Rock is about 4x4". encrusted forever, looks like its ready to start stretching up. $100

Struggled to keep this alive lately, not sure whats the deal. Has come back somewhat, wonder if it just needs less light? $45 size of palm

Tenuis - great piece looks good full light or blues. $140 ; Sexy coral back and to the left. Fully encrusted frag plug, 1.5" branch $150.

PC Superman Colony $250. Super compact and took a while to grow so I'm not really looking to frag it up.

Reef Pets Ultra Violet $100 also have a small frag with 3 branches for $35

ASD frag $80 middle

I'll try and get a picture of the colony but its tough since its grown so close to the surface. Compact and about the size of my open had around. $350. It grew upwards about 3" before tabling out, it will be cut right off the rock at purchase. Not sure why but mine looks more like a intense sunset millepora with pinkish coralites on the tips.

Pink lemonade - the encrusted rock is about 4x4" (closed fist size) $150

Metallic looking millepora $80

Vivid Rainbow $100 - slightly brown but good size and the colors there

Large acro colony. Needs more light, looks like its trying to be a red planet look a like. $45

Hawkins $100

Red Planet Colony $150. Great looking piece, super red, solid green with some purpleish coralites. Exactly what i was looking for in a RP.

Why are you breaking down? Going bigger?

This tank is like the envy of most reefers. I know I look at it a few times per week, wishing I could grow sticks. You should try to sell it complete first, keep this tank intact in all its glory.

Dam nice stuff I wish I could keep sps alive but the half dozen time I try I kill them

Thanks for the kind words Jimbo. I need to keep some of the equipment for a future build or I'd offer it up whole. I've noticed those usually sit though and I dont really have the time to wait. My wife and i landed our first house, so it's for good reason! Hopefully I'll be coming back bigger within a year or so. I just would hate to try and transfer this much livestock and risk losing it. I'd rather sell them and hopefully buy some frags back when the time comes.

It's tough for sure. Right when you think you've got it down you lose color or a piece altogether. I just lost a WD frag last week! Kind of embarrassing to loose a high end piece like that. :hammer:

Bummer man. Looks like you were on the right path, corals look colorful and happy.

Your pics look great. Are you running T5s? If so, what bulbs do you have on while your taking pics?

Thanks Schnitzel,

I plan to come back with a larger system and go sps again.

I run ATI 8x54w:
6 blue plus 9 hours
2 purple plus 8 hours
48" reefbrite tech strip 11 hours

I turn all lights on when I take photos. Otherwise I'm stuck trying to pull too much blue out post photo.

Your pics look really good. Seems like anyone that uses Lightroom always ends up with nice pics. I need to step up my editing game. Haha

What camera are you using?

 

[chgoblknazn]

Will you ship?

D80, I use some olympus viewer program that came with a camera i bought years ago. Its free i believe and easy to use. I just pull blue from the pic and it gets rid of the washed out look of the t5s.

 

[Smite]

Will you ship?

Sorry i haven't shipped before. I'd hate to start with colony sized pieces and mess up.

Thanks for your interest though!

Above (latest post) minus the bending birdsnest is what is still available. (in the quote above I mean)

(top quoted post)
Red planet, pink lemonade and asd colony are pending for Monday. I'll update then whether sold or back up for grabs.

I have some other colonies like Garf Bonzai, Red Dragon, a multi head lobo (red tiny amount of blue), echinata that used to be nice and rainbow but with such high light has gone mostly fleshy pink. A 5x5 miami hurrican and a smaller multi eyed mummy eye chalices. A few zoathids left I'll post pictures on.
I will try and update with pictures of all that are left later tonight

Thanks for all inquiries, I'm doing my best to respond in a timely manner and in order.

Interested in the birds nest if it falls through

 

[loc01]

Thanks,
Loc
