    I probably have 80 pounds of live rock...some very cool pieces but a lot of hair algae and some pest anemones.


    Lawnmower blenny.


    Diamond goby (not a sifter, more like a watchman)


    Maroon clown


    Carpet anemone and assorted soft corals (variety of stuff)


    Peppermint shrimp


    dozens of small hermits


    100 dollars takes it all and i will throw in a rubbermaid bin to carry the rock.

    Bump and Edit:

    I am willing to throw in a Marine Depot refractometer, BRS dosing pump, fish food and nearly full gallon jugs of b-ionic if someone wants this. Also will throw in as much formerly live (now dry sand) as you could possibly want, I have hundreds of pounds. I can also send pics...there are a lot of zoas and assorted corals in here. If someone wanted a ReefBreeders value fixture I would combine that with this for 200 dollars (The light retails for 200 alone). My job situation has changed and I am not able to provide the attention the livestock deserves.

    A few people have contacted me so I will post an update if it still available but otherwise I expect this is likely spoken for.

    Any-one that feels like they "missed out" on this don't.

    There was only 46 pounds rock , not 80, alot of hair and culupra algae, as stated, no carpet anemone, 2 small long tenticale. I have found 6-7 snails and 3-4 crabs. Maybe there is more in the rock???. The 3 fish and 1 peppermint are there, The reef breeders light is either the 1st one they ever made or an ebay-china light, not sure. 66 ponds of sugar sand not hundreds of pounds. The only coral I have found was 16 heads of a zoa, 2" picece of cabbage leather and 2 1/2" frags of some softie like a xenya tree and a 3-4 inch piece of dead birds nest. (there maybe more will have to wait and see). The thing that may have made this worth the trip was the refractometer and dosing pump. My own fault, I should have asked for pictures.

    I am sorry you are not happy with the purchase. I can tell you the light is indeed the reef breeders value fixture. Reef breeders are Chinese lights but Logan customizes the layout and it is a great spectrum. If you do not like the color you can purchase additional LEDs and swap them. The light is 200 shipped to buy it new.
    There was a carpet anemone on one of the rocks so a little perplexed there. The other two are not small long tentacle but are actually bubble tips and were probably 8 inches across. I have no doubt they were stressed.
    I am sorry you were not happy with the amount of rock. It was my best guess but I refuse to believe it was only 46 pounds. That one Rubbermaid was 3/4 full of rock and there was a half dozen huge pieces in the other one.
    After you left and I drained the tank I found nearly a half dozen more hermits that neither of us found swirling our hands in there. I have them in a heated tub and you are still welcome to them, otherwise I will give them for free to anyone who wants them.
    You mentioned the fish and shrimp were as expected, there was a ton of great macro algae for a refugium, 2 nearly full gallon jugs of b-ionic (that stuff is crazy expensive).
    I probably have 10 more pounds of sand you are welcome to. It took both of us to carry the Rubbermaid to your car full of sand and you had no more room so I didn't even bother to bring it up.
    There are multiple zoa colonies, multiple pulsing colonies, a few mushrooms and a few other things but I really wasn't trying to act like the corals were a huge deal.
    I feel really bad you are second guessing your purchase but I just wanted to say I feel it was a great value. Multiple people wanted the light for 125 when I listed it a month ago but I ended up needing it for the tank. I am sure you can easily still get that and make money on everything if you part things out.

    Meant to get to this sooner. I am very pleased with everything. I apologize. I was tired and in a bad mood. After waiting a couple days and letting everything open up. I realized it was closer to what I had expected. Very happy. Although I can not find the carpet nem. Just hope he is not in one of the rocks in my sump /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif. I did find the other 2 bt's. Only question I have is did you already dilute the bionic? I have never used it and thought I would give it try at the smouse tank. It says to dilute it first, so just wondering. The Maroon clown went to central Campus and they love it!


    Thanks!!

    No problem, I just didn't want you to think I was trying to shortchange anyone or anything like that. I know what it is like to drive a long ways and not have it match expectations. The carpet was not that large...I am sorry if I somehow destroyed it. It was on one of the rocks in the bin that had the lesser rock.


    Yes, the B-ionic has already been diluted with pure R.O. water. It basically comes as almost a solid and you add the water and let the solids dissolve and all of that is done. You should be able to just add the recommended amount. I really liked it saw really positive results in my big tank when I had everything going.

    Thanks, I will give it a shot. For some reason the ALK at the school tank is being a real pain. I do not think you destroyed it just wish i coulkd find so it does not die. I put all the rock that I did not see anything in in my sump so.... Who knows.

    Thanks again!
