I am sad to say that due to a promotion and the upcoming wildfire/hurricane season I am going to be selling my setup to avoid running into problems with neither me nor my wife being able to care for the critters properly if we get a storm. Ill be starting from scratch down the road when I can build a house with a self running generator and all that fun stuff but for now I’m out. With that being said please keep in mind I am awful busy lately so if you don’t get a response I assure you I will write back asap.

The system for sale is a double decker with a 180G tank on top and a 125 on the bottom. Full reef on the top and carnivores on the bottom, best of both worlds in one system! Both tanks are under 1 year old. The bottom tank has a partition on the right with the 2' section housing the skimmer and other filtration stuff. I am asking $4000 for the system and will not be breaking it up at this time.

The stand is made of pine and decked with rough cut cedar, sealed with 6 coats of poly. It measures 2’ wide by 8’ long. The 2’ section on the right was planned to be a place for a show refugium but can be used for whatever you desire. I have the lumber to put a trim piece along the top edge but have not cut it due to not wanting to put it in place without knowing what was going on the right. I can finish it before you take it as long as we discuss your plans so I can ensure it looks right when done. The center leg is removable to allow for the bottom tank to be removed. The canopy is made to hinge across the front for access and also is made only 18” front to back which allows for the whole canopy to be pushed back to allow full access when needed.

All in all it is a great setup and I will miss it a lot. It will require either several trucks or a truck and trailer to move. If need be you can rent a budget truck and I will drive it if you are not comfortable with driving a box truck. I will also include all the buckets and Rubbermaid containers I have but they may not be enough to hold all of it. Feel free to call me about this or email/pm brian @ Showfocus.net is my email and the phone number is 312-3652 area code is 561. The tank is located in Deland.

Dont worry, Im not getting all out, just going to "pocket sized tanks" Im thinking a few aquapods that I can drag with me to work if I need to be there for a few days/weeks. I doubt Ill part the coral out but will let everyone know if i do.
 
I've seen this tank is it is amazing shoot that huge piece of rock he has in there is awesome, beautiful tank and great person to work with, I've bought more than a handful of things from brian.
 
Sorry Ryan, not selling LR by the pound. I will sell the whole setup for 4000 or ALL the rock/coral/fish together to one person or group if the offer is right. Essentially I will not break down any of the live critters unless someone is takeing them all at one time.
 
Yeah man, that really sucks, i kind of know how it feels, but to that nice of a setup, i would be crushed, but that is a decision that you will probably thank yourself for come this years hurricane season...

if you do for some odd reason end up selling stuff off individually, i will help with some of your livestock. i LOVE gobies and would be more than happy to take them off your hands, just as i would the CBS's, and or the Fozface. Just let me know if i can help in any way, you helped me out soo much, and i am more than willingot help you BACK in any way.

If the blenny is the one you got from me, it's a starry. Don't forget if you decide to part out, I would like to have one of those bubble shrooms back. Good luck Brian, and say hi to the mrs.;)
 
Thanks Carole, it is the Starry Blenny. Dont worry one of the bubble shrooms is all yours, already put it in a different tank, Ill drop you a note next time im heading down that way.
 
wow, Brian, Congratulations on the promotion! sorry to see new the tank go though! I am sure your wife is going to miss it too.
 
Thanks for the congrats, the promotion is a good thing but it measn I will surely be stuck wiorking a lot more overtime...... Ill just save it up for the next BIG tank:)
 
Again Congrats Brian! Also from another reefer in DeLand, THANK YOU for all that you do to protect our city! Lets hope that this will be a slow hurricane season for you, and all of us for that matter.

I know you aren't interested in parting out but if you do I would love to have dibs on the Aquacontroller. Like you I spend allot of time away from the house so I have been looking at these for awhile to give me a little more piece of mind.

Also since I live here in DeLand just let me know if you end up needing any extra help breaking it down and/or moving it. I have ALOT of expierence moving tanks as do most of us I'm sure.

Good Luck!

Jason
