Time to step away or do a major downsizing. Everything for sale.

[SHowald72]

Do to changes in my life it is time to walk away or do a major downsizing soon. Medical bills, a baby and another baby on the way, and just no time for the hobby, family, work etc. are all taking a major toll. This hobby is lowest on the priority list, so it must go first.
It will take me time to get a list of everything that I have. So anyone who is familiar with my set ups and wants to get in line first for anything get a hold of me ASAP. I will be taking reasonable offers on all items if I don't have a price or if it is priced too high.
Livestock must go first but I will reserve the drygoods for those that are interested. I will frag but would prefer to sell colonies as a whole.

Here is a sample list of items that will be for sale:
2 GEO calcium reactors
aquacontroller junior with accessories
CO2 tanks and controllers
210 RR all glass
58 oceanic RR
54 RR corner
3 250 hqi hamilton reefstars
5 250 ice cap ballasts
3 660 ice cap ballasts
etc.

corals:
duncan 9 heads
dendros 7 heads
red bullseye mushroom rock
numerous acro frags
several large soft corals
xenia
acans
micro acans
a couple Australian corals
3 Red Sea Sinularia large
etc.

Lots of live rock and all other items associated with reefing will be for sale. Thanks in advance everyone. Hopefully this will only be a temporary leave, Shawn.

I am interested in both dendros and duncans and maybe a frag of that green softie you have.

Sorry to hear this Shawn. There is a good chance I will be in Rockford this weekend and I would not mind stopping by to take a look if you are going to be around. Thanks

[SHowald72]

Thanks for the interest everyone. I'll try and respond to all of the PMs tomorrow night after work. I have to get to bed now, thanks again.

 

[cp3823]

[DoubleDoor]

is their any live stock? what about rock?

 

[SHowald72]

Family showed up unexpectedly tonight, so I will try and answer some PMs before they catch me in the office.

Lots of corals, fish, crabs, shrimps, snails, anenomes and live rock.

 

[awesomefrog]

It's sad to hear that you have to put the hobby aside, but good to hear that family is higher on the priority list than corals and fish.

I'm just getting started with my aquarium, so i'd be interested in getting live rock, snails, shrimp, etc. Things that can survive in a newly established setup.

I'll send you a PM.

 

[chriscobb]

PM sent

 

[rpeeples]

pm sent thanks

 

[SHowald72]

Sorry if I didn't reply to anyone, I may have missed a few. I also apologize for the late responses for those that wanted to stop by today. Tuesday is going to be a good day to stop by, I have a lot coming over then. Thanks for all the interest and I am still itemizing and trying to figure out prices. So I am welcoming offers, so that I don't have to price so many items.

 

[SaraB]

Sorry to hear about you taking a break. Hopefully you will be back soon! Do you still have that frag we were going to swap? Let me know and I'll take it!

 

[mwlude]

PM Sent. I am intrested in live rock.
Thanks
Mike

 

[Jeremy H20]

Can you post what you have left and is not spoken for please.

 

[SHowald72]

I am getting lots of PMs on my live rock. I have several different types such as marshal islands, fiji, tonga, etc. All different shapes and sizes, ruble to large base rocks. Everything has lots of life and the occasional hitchhiker. I have probably 350 to 400lbs. left. The prices will vary depending on how much you are interested in buying and if you are cherry picking.
I still have lots of corals and equipment available. It is taking me longer than expected to put together a list of items with prices. I apologize for that and will keep plugging away at it. Thanks again everyone for the interest.

 

[Jeremy H20]

I would be interested in any LR that doesnt sell. Also, can you post pics of the corals. I have a 24g biocube. I can fit some corals, but nothing too large.

 

[treejohnny]

Hey Shawn.......sorry to hear about your decision.....no matter how right it may be. Do you have a large uv sterilizer you want to sell ?

 

[SHowald72]

I think I have a couple smaller ones at my old place in Freeport. I did have a large one now that I think about it. If I can find them, I'll let you have them.

 

[treejohnny]

Thanks Shawn.It wouldnt be right to take them for free. You will need the money as kids are expensive :0) Maybe I could come over tomorrow if you find it in time and see what else I could take off your hands.
