Getting out of the hobby sale

[Mark75]

For reasons beyond my control I am having to take a break from reefing. I am selling everything. Everything but the tank and stand is 7 months old or newer, the tank is a few years old but no leaks and looks very nice. I need to sell this all at once and if that is not an option I will take it down and store it.

Here what I have;

Equipment

Oceanic 30 gal. long (Oak)
Oceanic Oak stand

Nova Extreme 36" 4 bulb T5 H.O.
ATI bulbs and unused stock bulbs

2 Hydor Koralia 2's

submersible 150w heater

TDS meter
refractometer
API Master test kit
API Reef Master test kit

Spectra Pure RO/DI with new filters and DI cartridge from The Filter Guys(made less than 50 gallons)

Reef Fanatic auto topoff w/ pump

various power heads and pumps, glass cleaners, turkey baster, mixing vats


Livestock

30lbs. live rock, Fiji from P. A.
5lbs. live rock rubble in sump

14 SPS corals

Red cap (5")
Green cap (4")
Tan w/purple rim(7")
Ora blue tort (2" fully encrusted)
4 different Monits greens and pinks some small frags, some colonies
Green pocillapora (4")
Brown pocillapora (colony baseball sized)
Blue tabling acro(4")
Unknown purple acro (small colony, 6"x7")

6-8 ricordeas
1 candycane (8-10 heads)
1 Trumpet (6 heads)
2 different zoanthid colonies with 20+ polyps, nothing exotic, browns, oranges and gold specks
10-12 polyps red people eaters ( 3 different colonies, two on frag plugs, one on a piece of live rock
Xenia (two colonies)
Many snails, I have know idea the exact number, Ceriths, Trochus, Turbos
8-12 Scarlett hermits

food, kalk, additives, everything goes.

I will try and get some pictures up. I do have some Apistasia and bubble algae, but nothing you could not get under control quickly.

$400.00 and you pick up

LOL, most wouldn't consider this small. If yo want to sell livestock individually, I might be interested in the blue tabling acro.

Well, I may need to rethink my listed sizes, I am terrible at guessing. I will post some pictures and maybe you guys can give me a better idea of sizes.

 

[tangboy]

Just an idea... but you might get some more money by parting the system out

 

[KafudaFish]

There are a few things I would be interested in if you part out. Sorry you are having to get out.
Maybe you should keep the tank and set it back up when things change.

 

[lotsoftats]

if you decide to part out I would be interested in the koralia's I have been looking for a set for my 24g nano i'm going bare bottom with to keep good flow for sps.

I would need them shipped but i'll take care of the shipping charges.

 

[blueray]

I just send you the PM. Where are you located? Can I come take a look this weekend?


Mak

 

[hesstondc]

I would be intersted in all live stock and rock....If you split

Send me a pm with a price. I can pick up this weekend.

 

[Mark75]

Guys, this really is a super deal. I have way more than $400 in livestock alone!

 

[EvilMel]

As a general rule, I've found that nearly every single person trying to sell a complete system never gets a buyer.

People who part the stuff out will always sell most of the stuff.

Just an FYI. Sorry to hear you have to sell the tank.

 

[Mark75]

Yea, it is very hard to sell a complete set-up. I thought I was pricing it cheap enough to sell, but I guess not.

 

[EvilMel]

Seriously...I know it's a PITA, but you'll get more money selling it piece by piece...AND the sale will go pretty quickly usually.

Corals first, then fish if you can catch them, then rocks and sand, then equipment. It's not that bad. I sold my 240 off piece by piece.

 

[Mark75]

Thanks for the tip Mel, but I hate getting rid of it and doing it all at once is kind of like a Band-aid, one swift move does not hurt as bad as a little at a time, LOL! I have a bite on the whole system if that does not work out I will piece it out.

I might be interested but would want to take a look before committing. Any chance I could swing by on the w/e? If I were to purchase from Mark, I would be willing to sell much of the LR and livestock. Just PM me a number and address. Thanks.

[Mark75]

The deal is pending to Blueray (Mak), if this falls through Cee (Dave ) is next in line.

 

[Runner]

If one of these guys doesn't take all the rock, I could use 20 lbs for my 24G Nano.

 

[imsqueak]

I'd like the ato if the buyer doesnt need it.
Dave's darn 24 seriously evaps 1g/day. RSM evaps 1g/week!

 

[Dr. Tooth]

I am interested

Hello

How can I see the tank and how would you preffer to communicate?

 

[cee]

I've not heard from Mark, so he may have sold it today.

 

[Mark75]

Sorry guys, tank sold yesterday.
