Shutting it all down :(

In Memoriam
Hey everyone, I’m bailing on the hobby for now for many reasons. Simply put, life is pulling me in too many more important directions. I've struggled with the decision for several months as many as you know...I'm at peace with it--for now. :) Hopefully to return sooner rather than later. I’ve listed most things, but am certain I’ve left some things off. If you have add’l questions feel free to email me.. casey41@comcast.net or PM greystreet41 on RC.
I live in hendersonville.

I haven’t considered a price for the whole deal as seeing that rarely happens when people try to hold out to sell everything together…if someone is interested in that let me know and we’ll try to work something out, but seeing this done many times before I think the seller makes out better parting out, even though it is much more time consuming.

Email/PM if you’re interested in a few pics, but I can’t get a pic of everything, esp. the zoanthids….as you can see, I listed everything and where I got it. Most things are obviously from reefermadness

I’ve priced out livestock approx. 40 cents on the dollar and lower than that on dry goods.



Tank, Stand, Sump, mag 5 return--$400

95 gallon wave tank and stand (4 foot) black,

Oceanic Model 2 Reef Ready Sump- complete w/ bio-chamber, glass top & plumbing 36.5x12.5x17.5

ASM Skimmer rated for 150 gallons and pump Skimmer works great- $80



odyssea lighting 48" (this is on legs) 2x175 halides double ended (brand new last month), 2 x 96 watt actinics 8 months old $200---this lighting is great for everything, but maybe not SPS….I’ve kept SPS and they have thrived, but I wouldn’t get the color I wanted. I never wanted lights in a canopy so this was a great alternative for me.


40 gallon breeder, 20 gallon 3 chamber sump, skimmer (no clue what kind of skimmer it isâ€"bought from a local reefer when he got out of the hobby awhile back, stand $150---this isn’t a display setup, more of a “keep it in the basement./garage” frag tank type deal….



Livestock

-Liverock---all different types, sizes…. $4/lb



ZOANTHIDS-I have waaaaay too many different colors and types to list. My goal is to sell them for 50 cents to $1 a polyp. I have a few that are more of the “rare” or named variety that will be more. I'll spare the naming confusion and debate.

A lot of my zoa colonies are in excess of 75 polyps so I intend to frag them up as I don’t think it’s likely someone will want to buy whole colonies, but if so they would range in price from $20 to $75 for some colonies…



-large purple cap ---has 2 different types of purple caps on it (dinner plate sized, attached to large rock) $60 one is from reewik via rcmike, other from cee



-2 softball sized colonies of caulastrea--1 bluish, 1 light greenish $30 each one from AC other from reefermadness



-large Oulophyllia crispa (6 inches or so in diameter) $35from reefermadness



-2 platygyras--1 is neon green 4-5 inches, other is a lighter blue/green $35 each both from reefermadness



-hand sized neon mumps leather sarcophyton--cool greens ($40) reefermadness



-pink acan echinata ($40) reefermadness



-softballsized red eyed acan echinata $30 from reefermadness



-green and purple acan echinata ($25) reefermadness



-purple acan echinata frag ($15) reefermadness



-2 very nice leptastreas 1 with green eyes and maroon skirts, other with silver eyes and maroon skirts ($40 each) upscales.com



-rock of 3 or 4 very cool purple rhodactis ($30 for the rock) from AC



-some what I called “superman rhodactis”---I have 4-5 of these $5 per polyp from reefermadness



-nice green cup coral attached to good sized rock ($40) from AC



-blue eyed mycedium ($40) reefermadness



-neon green candy coral (this was really thriving and hasn't done well lately..about 4-5 heads that need some TLC ($20) from AC



-5 head purple tip frogspawn ($30) bought from fellow reefer



-green polyped sarco medium--$20 from a LFS in Orlando



-green polyped sarco small $10 LFS in Orlando



-2 types of acan lords ($2 a polyp-can't sell individual polyps...selling whole rock or however the frags break). One from AC other from upscales.com



-2 blasto wellsi frags (green-$10) (red $5) both from AC



-Bright green lobo, softball sized $30 from reefermadness



-Huge Red loboâ€"approx 10-12 inches in diameter $75 from reefermadness…this was a piece I just had to have as a centerpiece awhile back. Hard to get “red” in the tank.





2 oscellaris clowns--had them for 3 years...$30 for the pair

Scopas tang ($20)

scooter blenny--free to someone who buys some things

yellow coris wrasse ($20)
 
I'm in for a some of “superman rhodactis” and of course some zoos. Do you have pics of your zoos or would you rather us just come by? A lot of that stuff... I don't even know what it is. I'm sure I'll end up interested in more.

Also, does the ASM skimmer have a pump? If so, I have a friend that would most likely buy it if it does work well. He has a 75gal thats not set up yet.

5 head purple tip frogspawn ($30) bought from fellow reefer
and some LR, preferably pacific and larger pieces.
 
Sorry to hear you are giving it up but I totally understand! I wanted that cool neon green polyped leather in the big tank I commented on before. Not sure which one it is listed as and I would also like another superman rodactis. I will PM you on when to come up :)
 
i'd love some more zoas as well.....but since there isnt any pictures, or atleast a color description-- could i just come by and pick out the stuff i want?

also im intersted in the blasto welsi frags....and if not spoken for, i'll like take the scooter bleeny
 
Hey Casey,

Sorry to hear that you are getting out. Everything thing that I have gotten from you has done so well. I am interested in the purple acan echinata frag, rock of 3 or 4 very cool purple rhodactis, and 2 superman rhodactis (if any left). Just let me know, I can come by any time.
Thanks, Daniel
 
Man, Casey.... Any plans to get back in anytime in the somewhat near future, or are you reewik'ing out on us;)? Hold some things you know I want;). Leptastreas, you know which zoas I want, blastos, acans... When are you trying to have all of this gone? I can make a special trip if needed;). Are those clowns the nakeds? If so, I'll take them, too (they can go in the 22 gallon attached to the 125).

Fatherhood changing many things... except for the fact the some (Fishdoc11) are NUTZ!

I resent...er ...uh resemble that remark:p

Good luck Casey:D

Wish I was there to pick up a few zoas/LPS.

I am sorry to see you go as well. The purple cap I got from you , that you got from Reewik, who originally got it from me is doing well and had grown a lot. Maybe sometime you can get back into the hobby.

Eric, so when are you going to get another tank. :) I'll hook you up with some frags.
 
thanks for all the kinds words everyone...
rcmike, tnsquire got the purple cap tonight.

I "think I've responded to all PMs, but forgive me if I've overlooked someone as it can be quite chaotic trying to piece together requests...just PM me if I missed anyone. I had several people come by tonight and more coming tomorrow. Still plenty to choose from and I still have things I need to list. A stranger from Montgomery is even coming by Saturday to give it another go ;)

Another great guy leaves the hobby. :(
What rehab clinic did you and Eric attend to pull you away from this addiction?
