Just wanted to get this out there before I get off my but and list everything.
We're moving soon and I've been thinking about "getting out of the hobby/ take a break" for a while now. My neglect is showing in the tank.
I want to move the livestock first; the hardware will be last.
I have a Regal tang and a Yellow tang that I got from Jay a while back that are in great shape. They are free to a good home but I don't have them in hand. I also have 2 Pajama Cardinals, asking $10 each (or a decent price, I don't remember what I paid for them) and 3 Osc. Clown fish. I want to keep them together. Asking $30 for them (or decent price). Hardware list to follow.
Thanks Everyone,
B
 
Hey Barrett! Kinda weird how we get that urge for a break once in a while then get the itch to get started again. I really appreciate all the help you've given me. Let me know if you need help with your move, I'd be glad to help anyway I can.

I would love the regal tang, just moved down here and got my 90 gallon setup today.

I'm not just saying this b/c i want the tangs but if you just set your tank up today it's no where near ready for a regal tang. That's a somewhat sensitive fish and you're not even cycled yet. Food for thought.
 
I got a bunch of pictures last night and will Getty them up here for people to see. I do have corals in my tank their small and scattered. The rock is over run with aptasia. You'll see from the pictures. It's good rock it just needs some attention. The tangs are not "on hand" meaning I can't just coax them into a net. From previous experience I'll have to break it all down to get them so they'll probably be the last to catch. It's firstreply first dibs so Tigers and MPD are set for the clowns and tangs.
 
I've got additional hardware in the garage that will be sorted through probably this weekend as we move things out. I know there is a 60G cube pre-drilled and a large chiller out there. as well as an 4' 4bulb T5 retro fixturte.
ASking $60 for the cube, $200 for the chiller, and $100 for the T5. The chiller was on my 180 and has been listed by me before in the past.
 
OK i'm getting a minute from the move to get some stuff listed.
The tank:

90G reef ready with corner overflow. Removable overflow screen for easy clean-up. Includes stand, canopy and lighting. The lighting inside is a Blueline 4 bulb 4' T5 retro with ballast and two cooling fans. All works great. Stand features a removable center (the wood part) so you can get a bigger sump in there. The center brace is a welded and removable metal T brace. Its a great stand ad was the selling point for me.

Asking $300 OBO for the stand, canopy, fans, tank, and lighting.
 
Gravity Fed AutoTopoff:

Basically a secondary fresh tank fed into the sump through a float valve. There a waterproof box and fill pipe for the upper fill float but the system stopped working so It's back to being an acrylic freshwater topoff. Works fine, just give it someplace to sit. I fill mine every two weeks. Just turn on the RODI and it'll turn itself off. Measures 11.75 x 11.75 x 36. Made form .5" acrylic with a 1/8th black acrylic lid.
Asking $40 OBO
 
Hydor 1400's *(I think)
Two powerheads. One still works, the other needs a new impeller. They were expensive when I bought them. Work well, when you have impellers in them.

The one with no impeller:

Asking $30 OBO
 
Sump:
Dual filter sock design built by me. Comes with 4 filter socks. 12W x 17T x 24L. Modeled it after a design I saw online.

Asking $60 OBO
 

DIY Calcium Reactor:
Modeled after a reactor online this was a great reactor when I was using it. Holds a full can of ARM media and modeled after one of their top line reactors. I had a larger feed pump on it and it burned out. I then moved from the 180 into the 90 and reduced the livestock load, replaced the pump with a smaller one and never got around to getting it started up again. Not enough coral to necessitate it. Includes a 20# (mostly full) CO2 tank and Milwaukee regulator. Awesome set-up when working. I had amazing growth in my 180 when this was running. Asking $300 OBO for the reactor, regulator and tank.

I've got various zoas, ricordia, acan, a M. spongoides and some neon green candy cane left in my tank but their being crowded out by aptasia. I took some pics of them but it's probably better to see them in person and make a decision if their something you would want. I know I've got some mean greens zoas, some that were called Incredible Hulk's and some others that I can't even remember what they are anymore. All need to go as does the rock. Once its clear of aptasia it's not bad for live baserock.
 

green sinularia. nice sized. $10
little clump of zoas I liked. orange sherbert mouths with tan skirts. $10

3 green zoas peeking out. $5

Green and purple acan. pretty when healthy $5

Unknown zoas $5

another green leather of some kind $5

Some unknown paly with a leather on the top $5

the last harbor of uninfested rock with a small rag-tag band of survivors trying to eek out a living among the "dead." You might say its a prison of protection.
$5 each for whatever I can get out of there. The hulks are in there somewhere.
