    hi all. Ive decided not to return to the USA for a very long time. Ive left my 150 gallon sps lps reef running this past year with the help of a friend. But it truly needs more attention. Many of u know me and u know what kind of corals i bought. Only the best of the best. anyhow.. Im not sure what state all the corals are in bc somehow nobody in my family nor the guy i pay to maintain my system has a camera.... /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/blink.gif So.... What i propse is if anyone wants to buy corals they can go to my house and have their pick. prices will be set by you, however there will be someone their to help negotiate to avoid highway robbery...lol... However still heart breakingly cheap bc im not there and i want livestock gone. If anyone group is interested id like to set up a specific day for folks to come over. Please post if ud be interested. My tank is in council bluffs iowa. And it was once immaculate and filled to the brim in the brightest colors credit cards could buy.

    Would love to, but probably make it there from Des Moines without some idea of all of the livestock.

    If you have any idea of fish and corals, let us know!

    I would like for anyone that wishes to take a look that you all come together at the same time. I would like it to be no sooner than 2 weeks away so that I may communicate with my maitinance guy and my mother and arrange a time for everyone to be there. Also, you may want to bring your own bags. And yes, theres NICE fish... or at least there should be. I have been told my tank was in perfect order and only a clam died. My mom send photographs in a picture near X mas (crappy pictures) and i have reason to believe my system is NOT as it was.





    Perhaps you all can decide together what works best.


    I am selling the system partly b/c I don't know the current condition of the corals and fish. For whatever reason, getting actual photos seems to be an impossible feat. I wont pay a maitinance person and buy the next years bulbs and such items if I don't even know whats happening anymore.... Also, I am preparing to spend 6 months toa year living in a rough part of INDIA volunteering (completely unpaid but still costing me a fortune) to feed and keep young children and abused wives safe. As I'm sure you all have learned, human rights in Pakistan, India, and Iran are heartbreaking. This is my chance to truly help people, but I need $20,000 saved in order to do so.


    No, I won't be there. I live in South Korea.


    So.... can you guys talk to eachother and pick a good day to take a look?

    You can find a full tank shot under "All club FTS shot"





    however that was the 75 gallon. i had upgraded to a 150 gallons and had another trip to Spring fest and MACNA where i spent a load of money... there should be some NICE stuff in there.





    im trying to post photos but i cant! ive tried to post links but i cant! What the heck???

    great! ok friends... go ahead and start throwing out dates and times you can get to council bluffs. I'd like to make this as painless and efficient as possible as i do not wish to steal every weekend from my maitinance guy, he has a family to attend to and his own life =)

    He's a very nice man and will help you bag items up.

    fish should be - yellow tang, MASSIVE SAILFISH TANG needs to be in a 200+ tank by now!, The most amazing Hippo Tang (and if i ever return id love to buy him back, he's been with me since he was a sliver of a fish) he also has a cute deformed fin! I love him! pair of percula clowns mates, a pyramid butterfly, can't even remember the rest.....
