    I am putting my house on the market, and I don't think I can arrange a same day aquarium move. After I move, I'm likely going with a different size tank or 2, so I'm liquidating. I'm hoping to get everything reserved, and pick a morning/afternoon the weekend of the 17th to tear it all down.
    The only known pests in the tank are vermitid snails and asterina stars.

    Equipment:
    Fish:
    • 1 pair Ocellaris clowns with nice sized green BTA on small rock -- $35
    • 1 One Spot Foxface (large) -- $25
    • 1 Scribbled rabbitfish (sm/med) -- $25
    • 1 Blue hippo (med) -- $45
    • 1 Sailfin tang (lg) -- $50
    • 1 Orchid Dottyback (med) -- $30
    • 1 Red lipped blenny (adult) -- $15
    • 1 Engineer goby (adult) -- $15
    • 3 Bangaii cardinal (1 small, 2 adult that breed) $30
    • 1 Firefish (normal adult) $10
    I'll try to get some pics of rocks & coral. I started with 125# of Marco Rocks and added a little here and there. There's also about 100# of live sand.

    Thanks,
    Noah

    I would sell all of the coral, rock and sand (minus the orange crush and anemone rocks) as a package. That would be approximately 100 lbs of rock, 100 lbs of sand, assorted zoas, pink hammer, some frogspawn, hairy mushrooms, GSP rocks, small group of flower polyps, assorted zoas, paly/mushroom rock, cabbage rock, giant palys, 3 devil's hand leathers, on long tentacle toadstool (huge), and whatever cleanup crew (snails, hermits, cleaner shrimp).
    I would do $300 for all of it.

    I believe the fish have all found homes, as have the Jebaos, the echinata and the anemone.
    Equipment is OBO, and I will piece out rocks and the corals attached to them.
    If you happen to have CO2 equipment, I may be interested in trading.

    Pending:
    • Pumps, echinata, hippo
    • Bangaii & dottyback
    • BTA, clowns, engineer
    • Remaining fish not listed likely have a home
    There's been some ?'s on purewaterclub RO/DI and storage, but no commitment. I'm willing to bargain on live rock/coral/sand. At some point in October they'll have to go into a rubbermaid so I can finish teardown.

    Still OBO on the remaining gear as well.

    Toddlers and a magfloat put quite a few scratches in my tank years ago, so I may be selling a 125 reef ready Marineland cheap soon.

    Thanks to all who bought and picked up the fish, rock, corals and equipment. It's nice to know the animals that raised and cared for are in good hands.
    I will start a hardware post after I get everything cleaned up, and definitively decide what I'm keeping and selling.
