Change of plans (vacating tank)

[fireheadman]

I have a 130 gal tank (which I may sell last).
Our family is changing interest as the kids get older and I feel like it's become more of a chore than enjoyment, so it's getting dismantled and the wall remodeled.
I think the best way to go about this is to sell/move the corals first, then live rock and fish.

Here is a list of Livestock/corals I for sell: (make me a reasonable offer if you don't like the price listed)

Rock/Sand (No longer avail)
2 very large rocks, they are 45-55lbs each. I would consider them show rocks and you cannot find these anymore. I've held onto these for the last +20 years.
$150/rock

3 medium rocks, they are between 10-20lbs each
$30/rock

Sand (Fiji Pink and very small crushed special grade caribsea), believe I have 120lbs 60lbs (Available).
$50

Disclaimer: This is the part I wish I didn't have to write.... Due to the tank being somewhat neglected over the summer it has taken on aptasia.
The only coral that needs some attention (aptasiaX maybe?) would be the Pipe Organ.
The rocks I would end up either power washing or letting them sit out in the cold for a few days... or maybe you have another way to rid them on aptasia.

UPDATE: I will update this thread periodically for HOLD/SOLD
Also, I am not willing to chop up my show rocks for the mushrooms, so just need creative ways to peel/extract them. Thanks.


Photos: I think I had an issue with this last time... I can gladly text/email pictures of all of the above to those interested.

Thanks for your patience.

Hello, I sent PM yesterday on what I would like to purchase.

Sent from my SM-G986U using MASC mobile app

 

[DMaldonado93]

I sent you a message I'm interested in a good bit of the stuff you've got.

 

[Stithe]

Sent a PM with my list. I've love a lot of what you have listed.

 

[fireheadman]

Just got back to here... uploaded pictures now that my membership is active.
Wasn't expecting this much interest right away.... (definitely not a bad thing).

I think PM might be the way to go to get my contact info to those interested... then I can use the order of posting for reserving livestock once the corals are vacated. This fish are absolutely PITAs to catch without destroying coral and knocking over rock.

Updating the original post to help everyone track availability

 

[fireheadman]

Had a few people on for forum over today to clean up/buy.
I updated the list for what is left. Mushrooms are all removed from rock, so much easier to sell now.

 

[fireheadman]

Here are pics of that is left.. (the leathers are poking out around the long polyp toadstool.
The colander has all of the Bounce Mushrooms, Giant Fuzzt Mushrooms and frags of Devil's Hand.
Should be able to click to enlarge pics...

If anyone is interested and would like additional pictures, PM me and I can send you my number to text them.
Keeping the first post current.

Well, I’m starting to get a new problem in the tank…. Since I no longer have my clean up crew I’m starting to notice more algae on the glass than normal.

If anyone would be interested in the remaining corals, PM me and I’ll work with ya on a deal.

 

[fireheadman]

Final 2 fish found their new home today....
I will do the remaining corals to the first person interested ($50 for all) or make me a reasonable offer in person.

PM me for details/address/number.

 

[fireheadman]

Quick update.
Thanks to all that bought.... glad to see everything found a new home!

Apologies to those where lagging communication was present and you missed out on a coral or fish. I replied with my phone number to each PM and I received many phone calls in a short amount of time. I'm more on the old school side, so calling always gets more attention.

After the holidays I should be ready to part out on a lot of my hardware. We have decided to keep the tank and go freshwater (rare african cichlids), so I will not require a lot of the saltwater specific items. I will get a list and post them in Jan 2023.
