Tank teardown

I have a Truvu 36X36x24 inch cube tank that I'm tearing down. Tank was set up in 6/2002. It has a right back corner overflow with a 1.5 inch bulkhead. It has a few scratches here and there but overall is in great shape.
Here are a few pics from when it was first setup:

I don't have any current pics because quite frankly I'm saddened by the current state of the tank and not having enough time to keep it up which has resulted in a large loss of my SPS.
Here is a shot of the tank when it has seen better days:

The sump is also made by Truvu.
There is an acrylic pan under the sump that holds a couple gallons of water should you have a little mishap.
The stand was made by myself and my brother-in-law.

I will include the tank, sump, acrylic pan, stand, and canopy for $500.
If you want all the live rock, of which there is probably at least 200 pounds with some very large pieces, add $250.
If you'd like any of the equipment we can work something out.
I have some corals for sale in this thread:

Thanks for looking,

I'll add in the Auto topoff system which includes a 7 gallon acrylic container and Mag 2 for $50.
 
Thanks.
I've heard from John (tubs) and James (aquascene) that you have some sweet stuff also. Hector, right? I still have a 50 gallon that I'm trying to keep some select pieces in. We'll see how that goes.

Yeah Ben, that's me. I don't have quite as much nice stuff right now. I'm waiting for Liemar :D to hurry up and finish repairing my new tank. My system is doing OK, but it could be much better.

I hope you're keeping the purple lokani. :) I wish I was going up soon. I'd take that teardrop and a few other things. My teardrop died because of stress following my move.
 
Hey there Hector,
Bummer on your tank.
I do have a piece of the lokani. Hopefully it will do well in the new tank. Do you still have the tricolor humilis? Stunning piece when I saw it at James', maybe we can work out a trade in the future. I have family down in Fresno. I'll be there Monday for my grandfather's 96th birthday.
TTYL,
Ben
 
Yeah, still have it. It's as big as a house now. Hey if you are keeping a tank, I'd take the mammiformis if you can hold it for me. I don't know when I'll be up that way again though. :(

96th B-day. Crazy but super cool. Yeah if you are in town for an extended period, PM me.
 
Hey Hector,
Are you gonna be around Monday? I can bring it down for you and meet you at your work or wherever. I'm getting down there around eleven, having lunch then heading out. If we can't hook up I'll hold it for you. Just let me know a couple days ahead of when you're coming up and I'll have it ready. I'll probably have to have my bro or bro-in-law hang on to it. It gets crazy long sweepers.
Yeah 96, wish I could take him to Shaver Lake to catch some trout but he's recovering from hip replacement.
See ya,
Ben
 
Its still available, I wanted to wait until its all cleared out to look again. I sent you an email as well.
