Getting out of hobby, everything must go!

After much thought, I've decided to get out of saltwater completely.

I'm going to attempt to sell my two remaining tanks as whole units first, and failing that, I'll start parting out live stock first, then dry goods.



First up, 75 gal All-Glass with Oak Stand and hood. (Complete setup $1000)

Includes:

CCS 125 skimmer, Custom Acrylic Sump, Mag 9 return, overflow, dual 96watt PC coralife light strip (~8months old on the light and bulbs) and Filstar XP2 canister filter.

~70 lbs. live rock and ~50 lbs. live sand

Live stock

Puffer fish trained to eat krill from your fingers (he's cute acording to my wife) ~5" I think
Majestic FoxFace ~5" also
Coral Beauty Angel ~4"

This tank has a hair algea problem because I can't keep up with it (and Puffy eat's the snails :) ) and haven't been running the skimmer (cause I can't keep up with it).

I'll go $1,000 for the whole setup. I have a pickup truck and will help with delivery within a 50 mile range of North County area (bring your own water containers!)




Also for sale (I'll warn you now this setup will raise your electrical bill)

120 gal All-Glass with black stand and trim, 350 gal system. (complete setup $5,000)

This setup includes:

Lifereef Slimline Dual Overflow, Lifereef VS-24 skimmer, Lifereef Calcium Reactor, CCS 225 Skimmer, 150 "horse tub" sump, 50 gal "horse tub" fuge Full with cheato/grape calp mixture. Has a 150watt MH pendant over fuge along with two PC work lights. 1/3 HP chiller, and Hamilton "ReefStar" lighting system with 2x 96 watt PC bulbs, and 3x250watt DE MH 14k

Also includes ReefMaster controler with w/ accessory outlets (to keep the MH's from blowing the fuse)

Also includes 4x MaxiJet 1200's modified for more flow, and two Tunze 6000's with the updated controller (has a moonlight on it that does the moon phases) I also have 3x phos-ban reactor's and 2 pumps for those. Return pump is a mag 18 All the plumbing was custom done by me so you'll probably need to have PVC ready and waiting if you plan to buy this setup.


Live stock includes:

Miraid of snails, 2 pepperment shrimps, 1 skunk cleaner shrimp
4 Croccea clams, BIG neon green acro, big green monti, big purple monti, green hammer, orange plate, green plate, blue zoe's, orange zoa's, BIG Xmas tree rock, red monti, Green BTA, and tons more

~8-9" Foxface Lo
Green chromis
2x black clowns
1x engineer goby (big)
1x Purple Tang (big and very pretty)

Overall shot of tank is here: http://picasaweb.google.com/scott.iver/Corals4Sale/photo#5061614836727113634

You'll notice there are two very large leather corals on the right side, those are SOLD!

This tank would make a great office tank or home "pre-made" setup. There is nothing in this tank under 1 year old.

I'll go $5,000 for the whole setup. I have a pickup truck and will help with delivery within a 50 mile range of North County area (bring your own water containers!)

If anyone know's if any of the LFS's would be interested in purchasing these for resale value please let me know and I can contact them or I will PM you back with my contact info. Those serious about a purchase please PM me your interest and I will PM you back with my contact information and address so that you can come take a look. (I live very close to Beldt's)


(I'm going to have complete systems for sale for at least a month or two before I part out, PLEASE no PM's for parts at this time, if I need to part out I'll start a new post!)
 
I forgot to mention some things like the red mushrooms and green ric's in the 120 and the manderian (sp?)

Bascially if you want the 120 there's a LOT of stuff in there and you'll probably want to come and see it in person.
 
OK, my wife convinced me that it's a total pipe dream to sell everything as a unit. so I'm going to part out.

There is soo much stuff and too little time...

So LIVE STOCK ONLY FIRST PLEASE!!! If your interested in one of the dry goods listed, please hold your PM until I post the Dry Goods up for sale in this thread. I have to get rid of the livestock first :) Thank you for your understanding.


OK Here goes (If something is just out of your price range but you really want it make me an offer!)

[ I will only deal in cash deals, no checks, sorry got burned once and that was plenty enough! ]

Big branching purple Monti - $50

Huge Green branching Monti - This one is all over the place and a bit brittle, I don't see anyway to get him out in once piece, so be prepared to end up with a lot of frags on this one! - $80 for all of it's pieces when we get it out of the tank

Green BTA - $25 (BIG! so be careful)

3 x Crocea Clams - Prices vary depending on rock attached too and what else is attached to the rock, it would be best to stop by and have a look at these if your interested in the clams PM me for contact info and appointment to come see. Most expensive clam will be $75 and least expensive is $35

1 x Dersa Clam - $25

Large skunk cleaner shrimp - $10 if you can catch him

I also have a 50gal "horse tub" that is FULL to the brim with a cheato/grape calp. combo. It's teaming with Pods, worms, etc. If there's enough interest with this I may just cut it up into 1 Gal bags, just PM me if your interested.

Some reminders:

I apologize but I don't take checks (been fooled before).
I will NOT SHIP, I won't do it don't even ask.

If your interested in something, please PM me for my contact information. I'll be taking appointments for everyone to stop by my house and take a look in person (because I don't feel that the pictures I can take do any of these things justice).

I only have so many ziplock bags on hand at any one time, bring your own cooler/ bag / whatever for best results. Just make sure you bring something plenty big if your interested in one of the big corals or other items.

Interested in the orange plate, red brain rock and the pH probe. Can you shoot me pics of the plate and the brain along with size. Can you provide more info on the probe. Thanks
 
The Calcium Reactor ran out of CO2 last night. So I'm going to go ahead and offer it up for sale now.

Life Reef Calcium Reactor "LCR1" model with quick disconnects, all media I have left, CO2 Dual-Gage Assembly, CO2 tank (will need to be filled), and both pumps to run it.

Check it out at http://www.lifereef.com/frame.html

$200

(If you read the manufacturer's instructions on the website you do not need a controller for this setup, and I have not used a controller for 2 years with this unit and it's run fine.)

I also have 3 Phos-Ban reactors (one is the oldest model with thumb screws at the top and the other two are the new model with quick twist tops) and two small pumps to run them. $20 each and $10 each for the pumps.
 
Sale pending on two phos-ban's and pumps.

Still have 1 phos-ban reactor avalible (older model that can be turned into a De-nitrator coil, plans availble in DIY websites) This one is un-modd'ed.
 
I just realized that the SEASL event for Beldt's is this Wednesday evening.

If anyone is interested in live stock from my tanks please PM me for my address (I'm only about a mile away from Beldt's). I'll make myself avalible that evening from 6 till 10:30 PM for any livestock that is not already spoken for by that time (I'm keeping a detailed list of PM's, Emails, and Phone Calls to make sure eveyone is getting a fair chance).

I have quite a few people picking things up tonight and tomorrow night, and I will post a "what's left" message here Tuesday evening (late) so that eveyone will have a chance to check on what's left before heading out.

I'm at work right now, but off the top of my head I can tell you the following corals are still avaible (as of right this second):

XLarge Green Acro , Large Purple Monti, Red Monti Rock (with Yellow Polyps and Green Monti also attached), and Blue Acro rock. There is still many much more avalible and I'll post an updated list late Tuesday evening!
