Moving sale - Everything must go :( North Liberty - Club Member Discount!

Sadly, I'm finishing up my school work here and graduating with a PhD in Molecular Biology from UIowa. I found a new job in Florida and just can't bring my self to put my tank and its inhabitants through the stress of moving down there. Hopefully they can find a good home with all of you club members. I have over $5,000 invested in this tank. I'm willing to part it out, but will also take a lump sum of $3,000 for everything in the list below. I've included a purchase price and a what I'd like to sell it for price. Club members get a 10% discount.

The basics are that the tank is a 120g reef ready AGA with dual overflows. Lighting is by two 250w icecap electronic metal halide ballasts with icecap pendants and XM 16K bulbs. The skimmer is homebuilt to Octopus NW200 specs and does a nice job sucking out muck. Any other questions please feel free to contact me! I'm located in North Liberty, about a block from Sea of Marvels.


The fish were moved back in to my 55g quarantine tank 2 weeks ago to make them easier to catch. Tangs are such a pain to get out of the display tank...

Haha, I actually wasn't sure what the real name of that was, but I'm calling it green frogskin. Maybe someone else knows? The blue purple stag is also on that rock on the left.

 

I forgot to include that I have a 600gph overflow box on my hospital tank that I'll let go of for $50, a bunch of supplement bottles, test kits and half a bottle of reef chili left, and 5 trays of formula 1 and 5 trays of formula 2 frozen food in my freezer all for the taking (One item free if you buy something from me /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif ).

 

The hippo is probably 4-5 inches.
As the fish go, they are all very peaceful.  My favorite is by far the yellow longnose butterfly fish (5-6 inches).  I never saw him nip at corals, however I don't have any LPS, so I don't know if he'd go for those.
The velvet fairy wrasse is a great looking fish (4 inches).  I'll definitely be picking up another one when I get back in to the hobby in a few years.
The scopas tang (4-5 inches) is also very peaceful, I think I like his coloration and attitude the best.
The clowns are a very strong pair and are always doing their mating dance and swimming around the tank.  The female is about 3 inches and the male about 2.5.
The chromis are each around 2 inches.  I think when I start a new tank, I'll get about ten small ones of these just to see them school more

 

Thanks for the info Bill!

 

Eric, haha, the shrouds and blades have been further modified. Maybe they'll work better for you than they did for me. The eco mods are way better than the maxi's as far as noise and vibration are concerned.

 

The 55's are standard dimensions. 2'x14" I think.

 

Not sure what I was thinking last night. THey're 4 ft by 14 inches or so. One of them is 1/2" glass!

 

So far the cleaner crew, small tricolor valida, blue stag, and purple milli are spoken for.
