How to get rid of live reef aquarium?

[Vilerleader]

I have a long running 120 gallon reef aquarium that I need to pass on to someone else. I advertised it on Offer Up for $500, but not even a single question or offer. I need to get it gone and soon, painters and flooring people will be here in 2 weeks. At this point I don't even care if I get any money for it, I really just want the biome to survive.

Any Ideas? Are people just not interested in reef aquariums anymore?

Thanks,
-Matt

Just post it up for free. Pay it forward. What city are you in ?

I'm in Gilbert AZ. I'll give it a shot putting it up on OfferUp for free.

You can post on the local reef sites here, and try to give it all away, but unfortunately I'd guess it will take more than two weeks for the hassle of scheduling people to come by and all the pickiness/blow offs that can involve. You can try any of the local schools that might want a science project or give the inhabitants to a pet shop (last resort, I'd say) ditching the equipment as time allows.

Putting a picture up in this thread would help people to know what you're dealing with and help give proper advice. A tank infested with aiptasia is the opposite of a healthy tank jammed with acros and the advice would change accordingly.

It could just be the location or a lack of reefers on offer up. If you’re willing to part out, I’d be willing to pay shipping for the calcium reactor (just can’t ship the CO2 tank) but the reactor and regulator can be

I would check with a LFS to see if they could sell all of it on consignment.

Let me ask some AZ friends if they want it

Every time I need to get rid of something I post it for free on craigslist. Never failed me yet.

Yeah - my contact doesn't want it... Is there a local club?
