MikeT's livestock "leak" sale - Everything must go...

My new (used) tank I setup a year and a half ago started leaking last night, I don't have time to buy/setup anything new and feel this may be a good time to exit the hobby for a while.

Everything is crazy and a mess, but I did manage to get some iphone pictures with a look-down box today.

Prices are OBO and it's first come first served, I am not going to hold anything unless you paypal me, and even then I will only hold them until this weekend.

I would prefer to sell corals first (espeically the rocks covered with paly's and zoas), then the fish - as they are in the same bin, fish will be a pain to catch with the corals in there. This is of course negotiable (e.g. I may do it if you buy a handful of the fish, but not if you are buying one $5 fish, etc.)

Availability: I have today off from work (to deal with this), tomorrow I will try and work from home and should be able to schedule something during the day. Wed, I have to work until 8pm so any pickup would be late, same for rest of the week. By Sunday afternoon anything leftover gets donated to whomever will take it (LFS, reef clubs, whomever).

Location: I am about 3 miles SE of LAX

Fish:
- Yellow tang, medium/large (4-5"), have had him for 6 years, but he was a few years old before that = $20
- Desjardini Tang, medium (4"), have had him about 2 years, beautiful fish that cost me $80 a few years back = $50
- Pair of ocellaris clownfish, female is full grown, male about 1/2 that, they never went for my aneome = $30 for the pair
- 4 green chromis (spoken for already)
- Lawnmower Blenny, medium, great pet fish = $10
- 6 line wrasse, small/medium (is hidden in a rock I think, it may be a few days before he shows up, if ever) - $5 or free if he is in any liverock you buy :)
- Royal Gramma, medium large, had him for about 3 years (is also hidden in a rock, so it may be a few days before he is avail) - $10 or free in liverock if you are lucky and he is inside :)

Inverts:
- Two peppermint shrimp - $5 ea
- Two very large brittle starfish (one pink, one grey-brown) - $5 ea
- Beautiful Crocea Clam, medium size (had it for at least three years) - $30

- Joker Zoa look alikes - rock with approx 100 polyps - $40

Frags ready to go (some of these are from MAX, some older, but they are on frag plugs so easy to sell)
- GSP, good sized chunk on a plug - $5 or free with any purchase (if you want it)

The Organ pipe coral, not a great view, it's kind of squished into the wall at the moment

The Crocea clam, not a great shot, will try and dig up a good top down shot of it

I'll need to move some stuff around and take more pictures (there is some stuff buried in there, I know I have 40 or so purple death palys, and some other stuff I just couldn't see).

PM me with details, setup a schedule for pickup, make an offer, whatever...

Update:

Replies were crazy, someone got in before almost everyone else and wanted all the corals, so as of right now no corals remain for sale. But things fall through so PM me if you are interested in something. If you do not get a reply, it's probably sold already.

I'll take your rock. Lemme know when it'll be a good time to come by.

Sweet, tomorrow night will be OK after 8pm, or the rest of the week after 8, or all day sat/sun. I'll send you a PM with details.

How much for the leemar tank? Good diy project

Haven't figured out what happened to the tank yet, could be a bulkhead came loose, could be a seam. There is a chance the tank will be covered under warantee so I am going to look into that first. If it can be fixed without much money or work I'll get it fixed, then sell it that way. If the tank can't be fixed, I will probably sell as is, when that day comes I'll keep you on the list.

Ok update:

Here is everything that is remaining, if it is not listed it is either paid for already, a deposit was made, or someone has confirmed they are coming by to pick up over the next couple of days:
------------------------------------
- Pair of ocellaris clownfish, female is full grown, male about 1/2 that, they never went for my aneome = $30 for the pair
- Green/Maroon with orange tip BTA - large - may come with enormous live rock it is attached to - $40
- Live Sand - I have what is equal to two bags of Fiji pink sand (40lbs I think) all wet and live (for today) in a bucket - $FREE

Amazingly the clowns never went into the anemone in the tank, but the last two nights in the bin, they were in around the nem this morning. I'd make a package deal if someone want's the nem and the pair of clowns.

Sand is free, it's not very dirty, a quick rince and you have 40lbs of sand for free :)

- MikeT
 
NOTE about the anemone - it is attached to a big rock (bowling ball sized, kinda round), I had really bad results peeling a previous clone of this nem off a rock, so I am only selling the nem with the rock attached, so be prepared to bring a large bin to hold it (with water). A small trash can would be ideal, I don't think the rock fits in a 5 gallon bucket.

Package deal if you buy the rock/nem and the clown pair - $50

- MikeT
 
Sand is gone, Anemone is gone...

That leaves...
- Pair of ocellaris clownfish, female is full grown, male about 1/2 that = $30 for the pair
