    Toying with the idea of selling my tank. It crashed awhile back and I just simply haven't had the will or interest to get it back where it should be, makes me feel a bit sick to the stomach to look at it these days. It is a 47g column, the tank thread can be found here: http://greateriowareefsociety.org/C...fault.aspx Do not expect any of the livestock to look like it used to. Surivvors are a velvet fairy wrasse, small male McCosker's wrasse, and a osc. clown. RBTA, red lobophyllia, the clam, a bunch of xenia and a few LPS clinging to life (water changes would help a lot-- I'm just too damn busy [​IMG]). Lot's of hair algae.
    I'm not really interesting in 'parting it out', more hassle than it's worth and with as much of a discount as the equipment sells for used it'd be worth my while to just hang onto it in case I ever decided to set a tank up again. With regular water changes and some TLC the whole thing could be in great shape within a month or two.
    24" Outer orbit 250w MH, 14k Phoenix bulb 4x24w T5 fixture -- bulbs ~7 months old
    Warner Marine H2 HOB Skimmer (it's a beast)
    1 year old Vortech MP20
    Koralia K2
    BRS 5 Stage RODI Filter -- just bought new filter media
    BRS single chamber media reactor (for running GFO/Carbon)
    $750? I can be reached at 515-450-4570. Price is negotiable but if I decide I'm going to take too much of a haircut I'll just toss everything in storage for a rainy day.

    Dude! Total bummer I didn't realize you had a melt down, my condolances. If you end up parting it out I got dibbs on the tank and stand! Lemme know what ends up happening. Also, lemme kno what you want for that MP20 if you part things out.

    later,
    Andy

    Still not interested in parting out unless I have buyers lined up for everything. The 5 stage RO, Skimmer, LR/Livestock and Media Reactor would need homes. $600 takes the whole thing.

    All the things that need to stay wet have a potential buyer, as does the RO setup. I also have a dosing pump from BRS that I forgot to list in the original post, used for a week and in perfect condition. Andy, I tried to PM you but I'm not sure it went through. Gimme a call (515) 450-4570 and we can chat about the tank/stand and potentially the MP20

    I might be interested in the Wrasses and the doser...depending on the condition and price of the fish and doser...and if you are willing to 'part out'. I live in Marshalltown.

    Down to just the velvet fairy wrasse - McCosker's managed to find his way onto my carpeting a few days back. The velvet is a good sized male with excellent coloration that's been thriving for almost a year, now. The doser I will sell as a part since I didn't include it in the original listing, it's in like-new shape, used for a week or two  before moving and I never hooked it back up. PM me or give me a call and we can figure things out. I will be in Ames this weekend so if we could meet up it could potentially shorten your drive.

    I'll snap a couple pics mid-week, my evenings tonight and tomorrow are pretty much slammed. It's really not much to look at, anymore. If you're interested in the whole setup I would caution you that the deal you're getting is primarily for equipment. The rock will need some TLC to remove the rather spectacular amount of nuisance algae it's home to. That or a couple hairy sea hairs would be QUITE happy in there for awhile /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

    Alright since the craziness of the holidays is over it's time for me to get serious about getting rid of this again. $600 for EVERYTHING. Livestock, live rock, tank, stand, skimmer, lights, GFO reactor, MP20, RO system, dosing pump, refractometer, test kits, BRS dosing kits, buckets, the whole shebang. It really doesn't get any better than this and I'm kind of surprised this is still available. Call me at 515-450-4570 or send me a PM and let's get this out of my house!
