Yea much better after 3 beers......Been awhile, but I was tired from working and come home to do more work and care for the tanks and animals as some of you know I have 3 dogs, 2 parrots and 3 tanks. Plus doing re-modeling of my house piece by piece...... The puppy is what's taking most of my time right now since he's always sick every other week. Have to care for him quite a bit since he wasn't treated right in the first place by the previous owner, left him very ill until I got ahold of him. Took me over 2 months and many vet visits later and he's cured. He's a sweetie though, very loving dog!!! :D
 
Dude! Sounds like you've got quite a bit on your plate!

I can't imagine working 70hrs a week, man. Thats some craziness!

Tagging along.. interested in the 120g tank itself w/plumbing and sump
Just buy the whole set up there daddy warbucks. What are you & the family doin tomorrow? Wanna come out to the house & grill out? Theres gonnna be brew & a ton a kids playin out in the yard.
 
After much consideration, my intentions have taken a small change. I have decided to keep my tank running, but intend on selling my livestock, with several exceptions. I have composed a price list of everything I want to sell. I will sell items on a first-response/ first-come basis.
I have decided to keep my fish for now, sell all of my soft corals, LPS corals, and probably some of my rock. I am going to try to dedicate my tank to exotic SPS corals.
I hope I have not disappointed anyone, but after researching how to price my livestock, I am having issues letting some stuff go. You could say that my hobby has become one of my babies.

The price list is as follows:

2 Red Rose BTA's: $50/piece
Metallic green Frogspawn (@10 heads): $40
Metallic Green Frogspawn (@14 heads):$40
X-Large Met Green Frogspawn (25+ heads): $150
Metallic Green Frogspawn(pictured) : $40
Large Green Hydnophora(pictured) :$70
Red Wellsophyllia Brain(pictured): $60
Large Green/Orange combo Zoanthid(pictured): $70
Med Orange Zo/Leather combo: $50
Med Orange Zo: $40
Small-Med Orange Zo; $30
Leather:$20
XLarge Orange Zo/Red Mushroom combo: $90 (8-10lb rock)
XLarge Orange Zo (8-10lb rock): $90
Med Orange Zo/Green Elephant Ear combo: $60
Green Rhodactis rock (5 heads): $40
Med Metallic Green clove polyp rock: $40
Sunlight Supply Galaxy/Reef Optix Metal Halide Dual 250watt retro: $200 needs new bulbs

I appreciate it. The piece I got from you is doing good and I'm very proud to have it. I will be selling a few pieces soon to thin out a little and let some of the pieces I truly enjoy have room to grow. I am interested in some zoas and one of the anemones. Im sure your getting calls so when you have time give me a ring and let me know if you still have some stuff. Thanks for all the advice and help need anything give me a call.
 
I'm outta this one since I have most of the stuffs you're selling. Gas is too expensive to pick up a anemone. At least you decided to keep the tank going cause I think you'll regret it later if you sell it. :)
