Well, my son is almost here! So with full time work and a 2 hour daily commute I am seriously thinking about selling my system and spend my time and efforts with my family. PM me if interested and offer:

30" cube and stand, black silicone and euro brace 117 gallon
Gyre 150
Giesemann Infinity with T5's consisting of aqua blue/purple plus and MH with a Radium 20k, including additional new radium and Giesemann ballast
Vertex Alpha 170 with new pump
Reed Dynamics Bio Pellet Reactor
Avast skimmate locker
Avast Carbon/GFO reactor
Custom sump with refugium and par38 bulb
Full Apex with PM2, salinity probe and extra temp probe
Apex auto feeder
Tunze 3155 ATO
Advance Acrylic black ATO reservoir
TLF Kalk Reactor
2 Hegan Fluval 100w heaters
32 gallon brute on wheels plumbed with iwaki pump
BRS Doser
Bubble Magnus Doser with holder
Zen Reef 4 probe holder and frag holder
Algae Free Hammerhead Float
Rodi unit with booster pump

Of course I have salt, new containers of both ROX carbon and GFO, TDS meters, Hanna Checkers with current reagents for P04, Calcium and Alk along with Red Sea and Elos kits. New Calcium/mag supplements from BRS and half gallon of Alk. And all the other reefing stuff shoved in a cabinet.

As you can see I like to have nice stuff and pay for it. There's a lot of money spend on this system so please don't send me offers for less than the apex cost :). I love this hobby and will be back if I do sell it. Just have no time at the moment.

I agree you'll have to part it out. I buy tanks a lot for clients and I can tell you people don't spend over 2500-3000 on any one setup. Unless you're looking at s fully custom built tank. Just giving you my 2 cents. Sorry
 
Equipment like that u put in the time money research. My advice - if u love this hobby, keep the aquarium. U have an apex and many things like a plumbed trash can! I have a one year old . Two of my friends on rc have a one year. Many people here do. Or lots of kids.

The headache and time parting out this stuff will be a huge loss. Money and time. These are all things you will have to rebuy another time . Can your wife help with making a schedule and doing tank stuff as family? Efficiently and organized. Babies love fish. This hobby is a sacrifice, baby or no baby. Hard no matter what.

Well that's my two cents. Is not give up , find solutions to keep and make tank flourish . Make it easier .
 
Also. Just want to say hope I didn't offend. Don't know your whole story, selling may very well be best move. Everyone's situation is different .

My daughter , now thatshe is walking is more of a handful. The first 6 months were easier. Now it's less sleeping eating and all play lol. Babyproofing.

Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy.
 
Well, I decided to keep my setup. Just going to focus on an easier, less time demanding list of livestock. Maybe a killer softies and minimal LPS. Seen this guys setup and well, you know how it goes. Looking online for corals. This damn hobby.... Lol. http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index.php/current-issue/article/163-tank-of-the-month
That guys tank is amazing. I'm glad I don't have to feed 5 or 6 times a day and do 40 gallons water changes though. Lol. Very cool stand he made.

Glad u are going to keep your system.
