FS: Tank break down

Due to work, other hobbies and other reasons, I'm not having the time to care for the tank as much as I'd like to. So its time to sell it. Everything is OBO (reasonable).

Here's information on the tank:

57G Oceanic illuminata. Tank has been running for about 1.5 years now. Corals are all clean. No pests / insects. I would like to sell things in this order:
1. Rock / Corals
2. Fish / Live stock
3. Dry Goods
4. Tank, sump (unless you're buying everything :) )

Into the details:

1. Rock - $50
There's about 50 pounds of rock. Some of it is Real Reef artificial rock, and some of it is real live rock. Two pieces have a pretty large purple gorgonian growing on it. One of those pieces (centre big) is not for sale. As you'll see in the pictures, there's quite a bit of bubble algae on it.

Free sand - Mix of fine sand + crushed rock. Take the rocks and the sand is all yours too. Sand will have plenty of snails, crabs and other critters.

1a. Corals
Captain America frag $20
Electric blue mushroom $25 - There's about 1 large, and 4 or so small / baby mushrooms.
Pink with Green mouth - $30
Yellow coral (Don't know the name :( ) - Single head - $20
Green skirt zoas (don't know if it is named) - its about 4" rock - $40
ORA green polyp toadstool
Large - $60
4 x small frags, mounted - $20 each
Red People eater - About 10-12 polyps - $30
Fire & Ice (as I was told) - about 4-5" rock - $40
Metallic green Yuma - 2 large, 1 small, and 1 baby - $40
2-3" Purple grape idaho - $25
Green centre - Baseball sized rock - $45
Few other small / misc Zoa's

2. Fish / Live stock-
Clown + BTA - $275 - Bonded pair, but they've never laid eggs. Had them for about 7 months now. Both are Sustainable Aquatics - Female is a snowflake, male is a picasso. BTA is a nice large Red / green tipped BTA. It moved to a corner about a month ago, so its been out of light a little. Attached is picture of in the corner and when it was "out in the open"
Red Sea purple tang - $125
Bristletooh Tomini Tang - $40
Flame angel - $30 - So far has not nipped anything I have (don't have much though)
Large Harlequin shrimp - $30 - Ate all my astrea stars and now chomps down on the chocolate star.
Cleaner shrimp (pair) - $25 - They produce eggs every few weeks.
Tuxedo urchin - $15 ? - I've had him / her for 2.5 years now :(
Mandarin - $10 - Does not eat rods food. Have not trained it on eating anything frozen. Its happy eating the PODS in the tank.
Pink lyretail anthias - $25

3. Dry goods - There's quite a few, nothing is older than 1.5 years
2 x Kessil 350W with gooseneck - $275 each
2 x Vortech MP10Wes - $190 each ( don't know the manufacturer date). Regularly cleaned with vinegar.

Pictures are taken mostly with an iphone as I don't have my SLR.

Located in Rockridge area of Oakland. Pick up only. I may be able to come by with dry goods (other than tank/stand) to either LFS around (Diablo Coral or Aquatic).

You will need to bring your own bucket / containers. Available usually week nights 6-8pm, or weekends.

All live stock has to go before I can start parting out the dry goods please.

Please PM, or call / txt (at reasonable hours please) - (415) 830-6428

Dang, just 2 weeks ago you were trying to buy coral. Now, you are out. Good luck with the sale of your gear. Maybe one day you'll be back.

I hope so too. I am or was pretty close to considering restarting. Its the hardware that costs the most. I've been in / out of this hobby for about 14 years now. :)

All PM's replied.

I have 2 people interested in the whole setup, and for anyone else who might be curious the whole setup (including some stuff not listed like the JBJ ATO, test kits, etc) is $2k . Individually as priced above it comes to about 3k.
 
Quick update. Almost all the rock is gone. A few left.
Pink with Green mouth - $30 - sold

It should be easier to take the fish out now. then onto the dry goods.
Clown + nem are spoken for and will be picked up this week.

Pink lyretail anthias - $25 - sold

this guy is an honest reefer. He has amazing stuff at great prices. The tank is essentially flawless, crystal clear.
