Gilpin "Fish tank estate"

[bshumake]

Tim and I managed to get it all out this afternoon. All I can say is I hope no one was hoping to get any corals or fish. David's sump was fed from an external overflow. Shannon and her borther were watching the tank and topping off the sump but have no experience with any of this. Sometime in the past 2 days the sump dropped volume and the overflow lost suction. As a result the tank's temp dropped and I believe all corals and one (of not both) fish are dead. The temp of the tank was 30 something degrees. I have a lot of goods to go through currently so bear with me. Currently this is what is available:

160# LR $3 per #
Mag 9.5 (NIB) $70
Red Sea Berlin Turbo HOB (with Turbo up-graded pump) $160
Fluval 404 $70

Bare with me as I still have to go through all this stuff, ID it, and work up a price.

I need some of the live rock. Is it still live after a temp drop like that ?

Walker,
I think probably the coldest the rock got was during the drive to Barrett's house when it was in the trunk. I would say the live part of the rock deep in the pores stayed alive and will fairly quickly repopulate after going through a mini-cycle that is now happening as Barrett set up the tank again in his house. this rock looks to be Fiji and has good coraline coverage

I second Tim on that. The LR looks really pretty considering. Bacteria are more resilient than Macroorganisms so yes the LR is still live, just no living corals on them.
P.S. Yall, please come get this rock. The water trickle noise in the Computer room is driving me nuts.

Do you feel the need to go to the bathroom every time you work on your computer?

 

[bshumake]

No but the smell will lie to you.

Hey Barrett, You might get some hits on this stuff if you post over in MTRC....just a thought, to help her out.

 

[bshumake]

Will do. Thanks.

 

[danieljames]

Are pics of the live rock possible?

 

[bshumake]

I'll have to get the canopy on it and clear the water a bit more but I could get some in a couple of days.

 

[willember]

I can take the 2/3 Kent Kalkwasser 15.9oz and the Seachem buffer/builder.

 

[bshumake]

Cool. I'll put them aside for you. PM me on pick up details.

guys, me and a friend bought some of the rock tonight. you wont be dissapointed in it. it is gorgeous to say the least, and at these prices its hard to pass it up, especially considering the cause. stopping by the house is worth the trip because one barrett is a great guy, and two we need to help davids family out by giving his stuff a good home. im sure he would want it that way. btw, i vouch for the stand/aquarium/canopy as well, it is quite nice. bump to the top for the quick sale of this stuff.

 

[wjhuie]

Hey barrett When can I come over and get some rock

Hi Barrett,

I would like some rock if you still have some of it. It would probably be Sunday before I can come get it though. Is that okay? I could come Friday afternoon, too.
