My wife and I came up for thanksgiving and happened upon a great deal on a house. Its a few years earlier than we planned, but 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 1/4 acre lot with pool, etc... is tough to turn down for a little over $300,000.

As a result we are considering breaking down the tank and selling everything to help afford the house (not so much from the sale of livestock, but from the lower power bill, etc)

This is kind of just a feeler to test whether or not anyone would be interested in anything that I may be selling:

29 gallon BB display with starboard on the bottom - drilled with a 1" center overflow... i can post pics soon

20 gallon Long sump/fuge not drilled and used to be my display - nothing wrong with the tank other than salt creep that needs to be cleaned off

Mag 3 pump (used when i got it but the impellar has been replaced several times most recently in july)

Quiet one 3000 (bought it new last august and running strong since then)

AquaC Urchin pro - the cup has cosmetic damage and it could use a good cleaning but works great with the quiet one or the mag 3

about 50lbs of LR

clone of Jeffbrigg's RBTA ive had for a while.. id say he has a 6-7" oral disk

lawnmower blenny

perfectly well behaved brazillian flameback angel (took me months to get him and he eats pellet and nori but never nipped any corals - hard, soft, or LPS)

clown pair - still fairly small the F is Ocellaris and is about 2-2.5" and the male is a Rod's Onyx still getting his black between his 2nd and 3rd bars about 2 years old maybe 1.25" long

tons of xenia

2 multi colored Florida Rics - these eat like champs and if i had fed them more would be like 100 rics

2 headed torch in need of some TLC - he grew a bunch of heads one time and then got burned by the light during a temp tank move and hasnt recovered since

2.5-3" maxima - partially gold partially blue. was sold to me as an Ultra during the FMAS frag swap last feb

i also have about 30lbs of dry sand that i had in my tank for about 4 months before i took it out... its the southdown type sand from Treeman and its in a large tupperware container just chillin.

im sure that Ive forgotten some stuff that i wanna sell... i know im keeping my nano streams and my light in case i wanna start a small tank once i move, but odds are that I will use them for my fuge once i start a big tank...


Sucks to think about getting out, but i think with work being as busy as it is, and moving to a new place they would be better off in a nice tank - even if it isnt mine...
 
I'd be in on some of the coral, like the rics and the hammer and maybe the flame back. Let me know if you do decide to sell. Im right around the corner of FIU soooo... give me a hollar and congrats on the new house!!
 
Dont sell the tank! There are a few good stores in Orlando....the best I found up there was Sea in the City! Go check them out before you sell the tank!!

i have also heard great things about sea in the city...

i am by no means getting out, just taking a break... there WILL be a tank in this new house, and, luckily, to fit the size of the house it will need to be pretty big lol

It's good to see that everyone is so interested... i will now actually start contemplating prices knowing that most of the stuff will probably sell..

the hardest things to get rid of will be the fish... We love those buggers...
 
You can be sure whoever gets them here in this forum will take good care of them and love them too!! I'm sure your next tank will be great as well!! Pm Sent!!

How much would you sell the LR for?

If/when i break down ill do my best to weigh it... some is Fiji some is caribbean and a few branch rocks in there too... id probably let it all go for like $4 a lb

all the stuff in the display is pretty much completely purple and the rest in my sump is VERY cycled and ready to be used in a sump or display...
 
still considering prices, etc..

but i forgot to mention i have two small rocks of green shrooms with ~4 on each tiny rock... and a branch with 150+ zoos and a small patch on a different rock... AND a 2 headed frogspawn that hasnt split but is beautiful and big especially for only having 2 heads..

oh.. and the 2 rics became 3 rics while i was away for thanksgiving lol... told you they loved to eat...
