OK, everything is a la carte. Every dollar goes to Molly's veterinarian fund.

I've got to sell all the livestock before I can sell any of the equipment. The liverock I can keep in a barrel if I've got to.

I'm willing to split up the live rock, but you'll notice I upped the price on it. I was having a close look at it all and there's some great individual pieces in there. Still, make an offer and you may catch me at a weak moment. ;)

$1000 takes the whole she-bang, just in case somebody has had a revelation and decided they really do want this as a package.. :)

The RBTAs may not be ready for a few days. They're looking much better after hiding from the clowns for a couple days, but they're still healing up. You may also have to settle for also buying the rock they're on because I may not have time to get them off. So.. letting you know up front about those caveats.

Here's the list. First with cash takes each item, so if you want to reserve any of the equipment until after the livestock is sold, you're gonna have to pay up front. Many of you know where I live, and I'm not skipping town any time soon. ;)

Code:
75G RR Deep Blue:                                          $ 225

AquaFX Octopus RODI system:                                $ 275
Octopus will include my AquaFX float switch
and two 34g Brute cans, if you want 'em
CoralVue 4x54w with 10x1w moonlights:                      $ 200
Eheim 1260 pump:                                           $ 150
JBJ 1600 GPH Ocean Pulse Wavemaker:                        $  50

2 6" RBTAs:                                                $  60 ea

12" Engineer Goby (who is awesome):                        $  50
4 blue-green reef chromis:                                 $  20
1 yellow tail damsel (extremely docile)                    $   3

70 or 80 pounds of live rock, much (most) of 
which is Tonga branch, including one very large
showpiece I got from kaylo back in the day:                $300
20 or 30 pounds of dry rock:                               $ 30

assorted snails, hermits, conchs, and so on,
and a red knobby sea star that has never 
munched coral in his long (3 years+) life
 
There is a 20H sump, but it's pretty sad and I doubt you want it, but I'll call it $10 and tell you that you'll probably want to re-baffle it.

Just in case you've forgotten, or aren't aware, what an incredibly awesome system the AquaFX Octopus RODI is:

*High and Low Pressure Kill Switch (For pump protection and full system automation)
This RO/DI unit is setup for greatest filter life, with least amount of waste!
All units are made, tested and supported in the USA.
* High efficiency 1-micron sediment pre-filter
* 5-micron chlorine guzzler carbon block pre-filter or our exclusive chlorine and chloramine-removal filters

The booster pump on mine is not the same as in the video. It's a cylinder-shaped gunmetal grey metal housing. Works great and very quiet.
 
Because of the urgent nature of the sale, first to show up at my address with cash in hand takes each item. I hope folks will understand that I can't afford to wait on buyers in these particular circumstances. If you are in your car on the way to my house, I will hold things for you. :)

I think that everything listed has fair or more than fair prices, but will take offers. The RODI in particular I may knock some off of because the filters are used (but I estimate they're only about 50% spent even after 2 years. The DI is color changing and is definitely only 50% spent. The system still puts out 0 TDS.)

ca1ore is planning to pick him up on Monday afternoon. I told him as long as nobody wants it this weekend, he's all good. If you can pick up tomorrow then yes.

I really hope that first-come, first-serve doesn't stir up any resentment. I want to get all of this stuff out of here as quick as possible and be done with it.
 
No and I doubt I'll be able to get one because he's too fast and never stops swimming, ever. He's somewhere between 1.5" and 2.0" and has mild scarring on his gills from medication around a month ago, that is slowly healing and disappearing.
 
It turns out I'm not going to be able to meet with anybody tomorrow because Molly seems to have re-injured or worsened the injury of her leg. I think she better chill out tomorrow.

That means that monday afternoon is the earliest I'll probably be able to start selling.

I'm really sorry for the waffling, it's not my intention. Stuff is ridiculously stressful right now. :(

That means as long as ca1ore can still show up Monday afternoon it's all his. Sorry kain, not trying to string you along, man.

As a matter of fact I'm thinking better of my "first to the doorstep with cash" policy because I think it can't possibly not end in angering people, so, I'll hold stuff for up to 48 hours.

Sorry for the turnaround, I want to be totally fair to everybody, but avoid waiting on no-show buyers, which I think many of us here on the forum have experienced.

I'm sorry for going back and forth on this. :(
 
Flame angel, both RBTAs, frog spawn, and torch pending.

Everything else still available.

I'm willing to take $600 for ALL of the rest. This is probably less than half what it's worth even used. With patience and the luxury of time, you could almost certainly make money on this by reselling. Any takers? I would rather pull this band-aid off fast than slow... :) This deal is only good until I come to my senses, so don't think too long!
