HI All. I need to do something that I DON'T want to do, but circumstances is leaving me to HAVE to do it. I found out Friday that my cat is suffering from a bad case of Feline Diabetes. It is treatable, downside of it all is that it is very expensive. Seeing I love my animals with all my heart, I don't have the heart to put him down because of an illness.

That leaves me selling off everything that is in my reef tank. I have a 46 bowfront (that I will keep) that is full of live rock, coral and fish. I will list what is inside the tank and I will take any reasonable offer on things. Some rock has a little hair algae issues...but should be easily taken care of. I need to get his medicine ASAP so please help me out here. I know I won't get much for my stuff.....but I am not going to give it away either.

I already sold a lot of stuff but still need to sell the rest ASAP. Here is an updated list:

small rock with green star polyps and a hairy/frilly type mushroom...different than the others

Stalks of Xenia (not the pompom) ... STILL A LOT LEFT

Medium bunch of green star polyps ...NOT SOLD

Brown type polyps (ton of them on a rock...at least 80) ...NOT SOLD

Different type of off brown polyps 50+ .....NOT SOLD

two frags of 10+ brown polpys...NOT SOLD

Another kind 12-15 polyps ....NOT SOLD

25+ mushroom rock ....NOT SOLD

I will also have my seaclone skimmer for sale when everything is out of the tank...rated for 100 gallons ....NOT SOLD

Salifert Nitrate Test almost new ....NOT SOLD

Nutrafin Phosphate Test almost new ....NOT SOLD

1/2 bottle of Kent Marine Liquid Calcium ....NOT SOLD

Full bottle of Kent Micro Vert ...NOT SOLD

B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System - Alkalinity and Calcium Bottles brand new...NOT SOLD

Plus when all is said and done approx 40 lbs of live sand

Please, if anyone is interested.....the light will be gone by the weekend so I need to clear it out.

I also have some hermits scavaging around in there yet.

Here is a picture that was taken before most stuff got sold. If you want any particular picture I can try and get one.

Thanks,

Kelly

I don't have the heart to put him down because of an illness.

What about the cat?? Will he experience pain and suffering through all of this?? Will your cat live a normal life?? Before you go and sell everything, think about what the cat needs instead of your feelings.
 
I took my cat's feelings into consideration. He will experience no pain or suffering, he was suffering because he didn't have the medication. But with the medication (that I started yesterday) he can live a happy productive live into his late teens...he is only 6. So I never took my feelings into consideration.......I live for my pets and children and they come first over any hobby and day of the week. If it was terminal and I was only prolonging his live and he would still be in pain, believe me I would have done the noble thing. I have had some people say IT IS ONLY A CAT. Well, as a stray kitten when found, I took him in, gave him all his shots, neutered him and loved him unconditionally. He has never asked me for anything in return. It is the least I can do for him. So some people don't have to be so rude!
 
BTW...a lot of nice people from Wisconsin has cleared me out of all livestock and corals. The only things I have left are the following:

40lbs of live sand

1/2 bottle of Kent Marine Liquid Calcium ....NOT SOLD

Full bottle of Kent Micro Vert ...NOT SOLD

B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System - Alkalinity and Calcium Bottles brand new...NOT SOLD

Seaclone Skimmer rated for 100 gallon (6 months old)
 
Everything has been sold....sorry. It all sold within the first week of posting this. Forgot I had it over here.

Thanks
