Mature 75 gallon reef for sale

[Pickupman66]

Well folks, I hate to do this, but due to circumstances, ( new baby etc) I need to sell my entire setup. However, I am not getting out of the game altogether. We will be downgrading to a nano tank somewhere in the 10-24 gallon range. I Still need to get the Nano, so I am looking for one for partial trade or to buy one when the big tank is sold. I am not looking to part it out just yet. I may do that with some corals, but would like to try to sell the entire setup first. Asking price is $2500. Here is what I gots:

Eqpt:
gen-x pcx 40 pump for closed loop
mag 9.5 return pump
coralife superskimmer 65
DIY coral denitrator with 85 gph pump
440watt vho lighting inside customer built hood
75 gallon all glass tank
20L custom glass cages acrylic sump
short custom stand
1500 gph low profile overflow.

Livestock:

Fish:
Powder brown tang
Purple tang
Tomini tang
Female GSM (most likely to keep for nano)
2 bar gobies
Lawnmower blenny
diamond goby
bunches of snails both astrea and tons of stomatela (the good kind)
black brittle star
dozen hermits

Corals:
Xenia (lots of both pom pom variety and long hot pink)
Medium open brain 6"
Garf Alien Eye
Purple tip acro
Large Elkhown 10" (several smaller colonies thru out)
Purple cap frag
Purple Edge cap with green polyp frag
Large Orange Cap 10"
6" squasmosa clam
pink/purple birdsnest
fuzzy mushrooms
green pipe organ 10"
several 4" miliporas
deep red button polyps
large 10-12" mumps leather
hydnopora 8-10"
green hammer (from critter meeting)
large frogspawn 15+ heads (may try to keep this one or part of it in the nano)
green star polyps (cover large outcroping of rock)
Chips acro 2"
bali tricolor 3"
4-5" pink pocillipora
4" brown pocillipora (angela short variety)
6" cats paw hot pink with purple polyps (this one may stay to nano also)
4" pavona

I know there are more, but cant think of them right now.

100-110 lbs live rock, 40 lbs sand.


This is a VERY mature tank that has been setup for over 7 years. the last few have been really good to it and most if not all of the corals are heavily encrusted. I have done my best to care for this tank and it truly pains me to see it go, but it is time to move on. Please only PM me if you are serious about this tank. I will consider parting it out in a few weeks. obviously livestock first.

Here are a few fairly recent shots of the tank.

old pic, but shows hood and stand

If you do part out I will take all the caps & purple & brown tangs. Sorry to hear you are having to sell.

 

[gsusfreak]

if you decide to part....i'd be interested in approx. 50 lbs of liverock

 

[Esabasard]

If you part out I am interested in the SPS that haven't been spoken for, and maybe brain and clam.

 

[crumbletop]

Glad to hear you won't be getting totally out, Lindsey. Very nice looking tank.

 

[gflat65]

At least you'll still be with us to some degree. If you do part out, I'm interested in a new purple tang.

 

[Pickupman66]

Gflat, crumble, Thanks guys. It really pains me to have to do this. I typed that post with tears in my eyes as this tank is absolutely awesome right now. It is not that I am dumping $$ into it now, but that I need the $$ to prepare for a new baby among other things. Gary, many of these corals came from your tank. I'm gonna take some pics tonight so I have some very up to date ones.


I am going to keep a little of the rock and a few of the family's favorite corals in a aquapod type cube. this will be a new challenge for me as I havent done the nano thing. Hopefully I can sustain or grow the corals under the PC lights those have without having to buy the little nano pendant, but you never know. Tangs are my fav fishies, to bad I cant keep at least one in the 24. that little tomini would sure look cute!

IF you do part out, I would like the following:

Powder Brown Tang (If Eyebedam backs out)
Diamond Goby
Lawnmower Blenny
All the Snails and Hermits
Coral Denitrator
Closed Loop System
Green Hammer
Frogspawn
Pink Pocilliopora

Sorry to hear you having to sell your beautiful tank, all those years of memories........

 

[luckyfish]

I am definitely interested in the brain if you part out.
Thanks

 

[Nashvegas]

if or when parted I would take the tomini tang and the squamosa clam and all the snails and hermits

 

[Pickupman66]

OK. so I was a bit hasty in my first post. I was more proud of the tank than anything else. Price is $2000 fully loaded. I am considering starting to part it out. the only issue I am having with it this is the fact that so many of the corals are extremely encrusted to the rockwork. SOme ot the point that they are the rockwork. I am uploading photos tonight for everyones amusement...

 

[eyebedam]

Have you sold it yet or are you leaning towards parting out?

 

[Pickupman66]

EBD, not sold as of yet. Most likely wont sell (unless you offerin to buy it?), but I gotta frag the tar out of it.

 

[gobyholic]

i though i saw some clowns in the pics, if you are parting with them we might want them. true or false pec's?
