The time has come, pending a move and a downgrade to a smaller mantis tank, I'm selling off my remaining coral and equipment. I haven't been keeping up with coral prices, so please let me know if my prices are too high. I will be adding more to this list as things start to move. Coral goes first, then I will post my tank and lights. Sorry I don't have pics of all the items yet. I will try to get them later in the week if need be.

For sale:

1) Here is a chalice I got from Aquatic Collection over a year ago. It is about 4.5x3.5 with pink eyes/green/yellow coloration. Probably the nicest piece I have left. It started at 1x1 so it is a fast grower and very hardy. Asking $130

2) This chalice is 2x2 with magenta/pink coloration and bright neon green eyes. Asking $60

3) This Maze Coral is about 3.5x3.5, I paid $80 when I got this and it had amazing color. Due to not enough light it has lost some of it's zeal, but I'm sure it will color up again. Asking $50.

4) Yuma Ricordias. These are purple with pink/blue and neon green mouths. It started as 1 and has multiplied to over 15. So I have a bunch of these up for grabs. It will just take a little work gathering them up as they are spread all over the tank. Very in size from 3x3 to 1x1. Asking $20 each. If you buy multiple I will cut a discount. Very hardy under low light.

5) I have a purple death colony of over 100 polyps. Mixed in are a few eagle eyes, but it is 95% purple deaths. The flat rock it is on even has a superman monti and a yuma or 2 on it. I will let this whole rock go for $120

6) I have a huge RBTA when fully open it probably spans over 15 inches. It has been through a lot and has always survived. It will come with the rock it is attached to as I don't want to try and pry it off. If I can catch the wonderful clown fish that houses in it I will include him with the Anemone. Asking $80

7) I have a colony of Polyps, I forget their name, but I got them originally from Charles (Delsol was his old user name). They are like venus fly traps, huge, green and brown. Polyp's are larger than quarters. Colony has over 15 heads. Asking $60


After I sell off my live stock I will have the following gear for sale. Trying to price this for quick sale so I'm open to offers as well.

- Reef Octopus Skimmer. I believe it is the NW 180 or 150 model from 3 years ago. I'll confirm this soon. $110
- Hydor Koralias 4 and 3. $20 and $15.
- 48" Icecap T5HO Retro kit with ballasts. 6 lights with 3 ballasts. 4 are currently working, the other 2 need to be rewired, but I'm sure they will work. I'll esentially throw in the 2 non working ones for free. Bulbs need to be replaced. Asking $150 (is that cheap?)
-Lights are currently mounted in a black flip top canopy that measures 60"x20". If you want the lights with the canopy I'll throw in the canopy for an additional $40. I'll post a pic later on.
-over 100LBs of fiji live rock. Some rock has mushrooms (red/blue), zoas, and some has nuisance bubble algae and some manjanos. If anyone wants this rock you can clean it and use as is as it is very mature, or let it dry up and die off and use it from scratch. Someone come take it off my hands. I'd let it all go for $140

I'll list more stuff as I think of it. I think the best way to get a hold of me is email me at cozen89@yahoo.com as I don't check these forums as much as I use to. Local pick up is in downtown San Francisco. Thanks for looking and happy holidays!

I also have a RO/DI for sale in great condition from the filter guys. It's their OCEAN REEF + 1 FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI unit. I have the filter wrench and 2 back up filters. Asking $120
 
Here is a shot of the RBTA from about 2 months ago. Still looks the same. Sorry for the bad quality.

The koralias will have to be one of the last tings to go as I still need them right now to keep the water circulating. I will contact you when they are available. Might be a bit to be honest.

As for those of you messaging me about the lights, I will post pictures soon.
 
Here are the images of the T5HO Retrokit lights. I have to apologize to those of you interested in them, because I just plugged in the ones that I haven't been using for over 6 months, and they work fine. So I have a set of 6 lights all fully working now. My new asking price for this will be $180 which is only $30 more than my original asking price. That's fair right? And still cheap I think.

These were purchased from Reefgeek if you want to see how much it is new. I think it's around $450.

Not seen in the images are the end caps. I have all of these available.

sorry no FTS, I'm too lazy and short on time to scrape all the coraline off my front glass and there isn't much more coral for sale other than what is listed.
 
Thanks Lap, I'll let you know, I have someone coming to look at it tomorrow.

What do you need it for anyway? You gonna put more light in from the front? Haha!

UPDATE- #1 and #2 are sale pending.
 
Hello. If you still have the Rose Bubble Anemone, let me know. I'm interested. How large is the live rock upon which it's attached?

Please let me know. I live in Marin, and could arrange a pick-up as early as this Thursday or Friday.
 
for psulion

does anyone know which model this is? I can't remember if it is the NW 150 or 180.

The skimmer needs to be soaked in vinegar if you want to remove the internal coraline build up, but other than that it works fine and has no cracks or damage.

I do still have the anemone, someone was interested, but said I could sell it locally if I had a buyer. I have to double check which rock it is attached to, but I think it's fairly large like 4-6 lb circular rock, but I will confirm this later. Also I might be selling my lights today, so if you come see it on thursday, I won't have lights on the tank, I will try and take a picture of it today so you can get another look.
 
ok change of plans, the guy buying the lights was nice enough to wait another week, so whoever wants to come see any live stock/rocks, if you can come within the next week that would be great. As a heads up, I will not be available on friday after 4pm and all of saturday because of a wedding.
