leaving the hobby (again)

Life finds me too busy to mess with the tank much anymore and I just don't get the enjoyment out of it like I once did. So, it is all going to go. Corals first, of course. If you want fish give me half down and within a month (or sooner) I'll get the fish to you. If I don't / can't, I'll refund your money. If there is no interest locally I'll consider shipping. Everything is OBO, of course, but I think my prices are reasonable. Pictures can be provided upon request but it is just too much for me to take pictures of everything. The links provided are others pictures. It is always better to see them in person before purchasing. Anyway, here's the list...

I'll sell everything for $1600 (well over $2500 at my discounted prices)
Solana 7075 Superbrite glass, 34 gallons plus approx. 35 lbs. of heavily-encrusted LR, custom oak stand and hood, 250 W single-ended HQI ballast and Radium bulb, spare bulbs, ATO system, heater, $300

Too many to list individual prices/polyp counts but I'll offer them at 65% of the lowest price you can find online or PM for a price / polyp count.
Rastas, CAO, CAR, Utter chaos, Blonde-eyed blue bs, Yellow hornet, froot loops, daisy dukes, Arm. II, S.C. big pinkys, blue steels, unobtainables/scarface, etc., etc., etc. I'm just scratching the surface here.


PM is best but feel free to post here as well.

Update on other forum. Big Barney monti sold but I think I have another smaller piece somewhere in there LOL.

Dave
 
All sold except for the tank/stand/hood/lighting combination. Ba-bye to all my reefing friends.

Will you still help me make an LED fixture for my 120g tank? I was hoping to do it as a meeting topic but I doubt you'll be coming to the meeting if you're leaving the hobby.

You could still come, in my opinion! I just need to know what all I need to buy. I'm ready to purchase it so let me know if you want to help. No biggie if not.
 
I know, I just got it. Having two forums is super confusing sometimes. I posted this then responded to your PM in the other place. hah hah.

I have been out of the hobby for some time due to building a new house and having a baby at the same time. Just now looking into getting back in and it is shocking how many people are gone. The MTRC forum is a ghost town and now I come here to see that CEE is leaving. I once held him atop a pedistal as the best at this hobby. Come back soon, the hobby needs more like yourself that take it to the next level.
 
Wow thanks for the complement! Perhaps some day if my schedule permits but for now I'll have to find solace on my previous hobbies of collecting African caudiciforms and bonsai.
 
dang, I wish I would have caught this sale. Mostly for the AquaMaxx HOB-1 skimmer for a 100.oo bux...... this skimmer goes new for 200.00 Dang it!
