Coralville Bay

Hello all.
I understand there has been some turmoil in the past with some lfs. I don't know exactly what went down, but it doesn't matter to me. The owner of Coralville Bay, Ed, is a friend of mine and he's always been good to me and the customers I see him with, when I am there.
For those of you that don't know, Coralville Bay is going out of business and Ed is liquidating all livestock and drystock. I mean everything.
I know he still has his 265 gallon saltwater setup that he's trying to sell. There is a Japanese dragon moray eel in there and some really nice mother colonies of coral that he's willing to start piecing out.
Also a bunch of gallon sized additives for half price and other miscellaneous stuff. Hes selling all display tanks as well and i believe they are mostly $1/gallon and they come with rock and undergravel. The Custom frag tank is what I've always had my eye on but I have way too many projects going on right now.
Anyway, I understand you've had your differences in the past but it would help him out to maybe at least take a trip over there. I have a minute long video on my phone of the eel during feeding time, it's pretty cool if your interested!

 

He never talks about girs and vaguely mentioned of a failed event that happened a while ago so I wasn't sure about how to approach this lol.
He's only open tuesday- Saturday 12-5
He is trying not to close until all of his stuff is sold. So there is not any set date yet but I don't think it will be for a little while yet.
I didn't look at the rest of his store much but I know he mainly has 20 highs and 30 and 40 longs still for sale. He also has a bunch of protein skimmer, used and new.
On the 265 I think it's marineland dual factory overflow . It's got oak canopy and hand-built stand. 4 ai 26's I believe, a 90 gallon sump with a mag return pump(might be wrong on that one), coralife protein skimmer a bunch of live rock, softball sized brain coral, a leather that's as big as football shoulder pads, Duncan colony with maybe 30 heads, nice green star polyps and a bunch of other huge polyps. He's got about a 7-8" magnificent foxface, and a good 10" Blue tang in there as well. In his frag tank I saw at least 3 nice anemones as well.

 

I think the raffle is a great idea, I'll run it by him tomorrow and see what he thinks! Thanks

 

The tank is closer to my house, it's probably easier to transport it here, however, the bill can easily be sent to your place

 

He has been wanting to close since August but hasn't been able to yet.
