It's Time ......

[epon]

Well ladies and gentlemen.....

The time has come for me to bow out too. I know, I know, hold the shock and awe to a
dull roar.

The tank is located in Champaign and the 55g is located in Hammond ( near Tuscola ).

Based on response I'm thinking I might do an open house thing this saturday or next,
so everyone can come get their stuff at once. I wanted to offer if up to the CIMA peeps first
before it went in the selling forum. This is not a complete list of everything.
Please no holds or delivery, I can accept cash or money order.

55g AGA with AGA gloss black stand (in Hammond) 25


Thats it for now, I have more stuff to drag out of storage from the 65g and can post details later.

I feel kinda sickly and think maybe I need a recovery group. :eek1:

 

[webbstock]

Too bad that you are leaving!

I would be interested in one of the blastos, the moon and one magfloat 30.
I know that you aren't doing any holds, but not sure if you're your letting people get in "dibs"
Let me know when you are ready to have the open house.

 

[medic29]

PM was sent

 

[medic29]

With that said, I'm interested in the following:

thin birds nest,
10# CO2 tank
white garbage can - food grade
and possibly some acro or stag frags...

 

[epon]

Thnxs, Everyone please post to the thread which items you'd like. It will be easier to keep track that way.


This Saturday will likely be the pickup day, but not sure yet.

 

[epon]

Oh and by holds I meant me hanging on to things for people for weeks. If you want it let it be known in the thread and that will hold it. If waiting untill SAturday doesn't work for anyone I can work out arrangements individually.

I've never done this before so I'm kinda flyin byt he seat of my pants here. Not to mention this is an emotional parting of ways for me.

 

[Vitaly]

epon...I am sad to see you are getting out (for now). On the bright side...you have some of the most amazing corals that I have seen and it will be a great opportunity for some of the new people to pick-up beautiful specimens.

webbstock and I will probably roll over together this Saturday, if that is when you will be having people over.

I would like to see the "Open Brain some old damange to side" and the "Caulestrea" (what color is it?)

Does your Mandarin take prepared food?

 

[epon]

Thnxs Vitaly, Mandy is fat and hides from just about anything but pods. Caulestrea is greenish.

Sorry to see you go sir. Your tank was truly magnificent.

 

[epon]

awws, huggles

 

[tcottle]

W T F - you did not give me a chance to buy the whole lot

[Medic29] I now offically hate you for snagging the CO2 tank

Bummed to see you go :

 

[epon]

Say the word and the whole thing is yours !

I'm bummed too, but hopefully the animals will bring as much joy and frustration to someone as they have me.

 

[Michelle L]

Gee whiz, everyone is bailing out of the hobby!

[seachel71]

I am interested in the Mag950 and maybe a few other things. Will get back to you tomorrow.

 

[epon]

I'll update the list tomorrow with who has what.
Any of the hard to catch critters will need to wait untill I get some of the coral and rock moved out. The equipment will obviously need to wait untill animals are gone and we can arrange a pickup.

In my dreams this will all go to new homes smoothly, with as little disruption to the animals as possible. Ideally I'll reach a point of selling off the corals when I can remove the rock and catch the fish and shrimp. Periclemnes is MIA, not supprisinly.

Thanks all.
