Here it is - My "For Sale" thread.

[aberg12012]

As previously mentioned, I am selling my entire system. After receiving several PM's about it, I've decided to give anyone wanting the entire system first dibbs. Some of you will probably laugh, and others will probably cry when I say that I will sell my entire system for $500. I am simply more intarested in ease of getting rid of everything, than trying to get top dollar.

The system is a AGA 90 gallon reef ready tank, "Starboard" bare bottom. Has a 55 gallon sump with fuge and bubble trap, very sturdy metal stand, and 250 watt MH lighting.

Livestock:

- Purple Tang, about 5"
- Singapore Angel, about 3"
- Longnose Butterfly, about 4" (Eats frozen mysis)
- Fire Clown, about 4" (as seen in my avatar)
- (3) B/G Chromis
- (1) Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, about 4"

Coral/Live Rock/Other Livestock:

- 120 lbs (aprox.) of live rock. Nice large peices, nicely encrusted with life. A few spots of bubble aglae, due to lack of attention on my part. (Scrub brush recommended.) Also another 30lbs (approx) of rock in my fuge, which has been kept under low light.

- 3 or 4 small RBTA's all very attached to rockwork
- Lots of GSP (about 1/3 of the rockwork is covered with it)
- Large Brain Coral
- Some small but spreading patches of Zenia (weeds)
- 3 candycane frags, one very large, one medium, one small


Equipment:

Tanks:
- 90 gallon AGA "Reef Ready" tank. (Drilled)
- 55 gallon "DIY" sump with dividers for fuge and bubble trap.

Lighting:
- Dual 250 watt PFO MH ballast with "Spider" reflectors and 2 used XM bulbs.
- Dual ARO VHO ballast (2x110 watts) with 2 almost new URI actinics.
- 2x65 watt PC ballast with 2 8K bulbs (being used as fuge light)

Pumps/Skimmer:
- Mag Drive 18 Pump, less than a year old.
- Euroreef ES 5-3 skimmer. **NEEDS NEW PUMP**
- Auto-top-off float/relay switch.
- Reio Seio Superflow power head
- (2) Maxi-Jet power heads

Misc:
- (2) 300 watt Jebo-Jager heaters
- An opened, but FULL bucket of IO Salt


If no one wants the whole system, I'm not quite sure how I'll go about this, since I'm not sure how I'd go about parting out live stock peice by piece without tearing everything down right away in the same day.

Anyone intarested please email me at aberg12012@yahoo.com or call me at 920-379-9156.

Thanks,
Alan Berg

If part out I am interested in auto top off, candy cane frags, and some live rock....but I doubt it will get that far.

 

[jmkarcz]

Wow, what a steal, sorry you are leaving the hobby.

Are you sure you dont want to hold on to that stuff, I see all the time people leave the hobby and it draws them back

"You can check out any time you like, but you can NEVER leave" (cool solo here)

 

[2003mikem]

i want the tang.
and brain

 

[scooters reef]

What a bummer

That was an awesome tank. Sorry to see you leave the hobby. But, you have many hobbies, so going broke or getting fed up isn't good either I guess.

 

[kass03]

Dang Alan sorry your selling it. What a deal for whoever gets it.

If Jason gets it you can drop off that purple tang and an RBTA on the way home hahaha.

How much for all the rock...... if the price is right ill take it all, or most of it

 

[aberg12012]

Hi everyone... thanks very much for the intrest in my system, and concern for the obvious heart break that it will be to actually part with my much loved aquarium critters. Although I will miss them all, especially my PT, very much... I can't describe what a relief it will be to no longer have 90 gallons of water evaporating in my basement 24/7! I kept wanting to sell, and kept giving it another chance over the last year. But I just havn't been able to get back into it enough to justify the expense and headaches of having all that moisture in my house.

Anyways, I thought I would have a problem selling the system as a complete package. It appears, however, that I am having the very opposite problem... turning people away. I really am thankful for everyone's intrest, but early yesterday morning I received an offer from some one right away that was more than my asking price. If his offer falls through, Jason has next dibs.

I hope to keep in touch with everyone in some way... and if life ever settles down, I would LOVE to start comming to meetings again! Just because I don't want a tank myself, dosn't mean I can't still enjoy other's!

WOW what a deal, I wish I would have checked this out sooner, I watched the thread where this tank took shape for the inwall construction, I will take the lights if this is parted out, or who ever buys this send me a pm I will take the lights off your hands ! Or put me 3rd in line for the entire thing!

 

[jmkarcz]

I think it's gone bud...

 

[jmkarcz]

Al contacted me last night... this is officially gone... the buyer has expressed 100% interest and assured Al sufficiently. I spoke with Al for almost an hour, I will miss him in the group, and hope he continues to hang around.


--- BTW Al - because you had me distracted on the phone at the grocery store, I couldn't rescue my wife from the clerk at the store that was telling her about nieces nuiances with her childs binky.... something that my wife had absolutly no interest in hearing...and couldn't get away from...

She says I'm not allowed to talk to you while she's around.
