Getting Out of the Hobby


CaptainRon

Recommended Posts

Well truthfully, I've really been out of the hobby for quite sometime. Just finally getting around to getting rid of everything due to a pending move in a couple months. 

 

I've had this tank since we did MACNA way back when. It's been neglected for years as this point. 

 

I know the pictures are horrible. Our entire house is in a state of disarray as we try to down size everything.

 

Comes with the following:

Pic 1: Glass Cages Tank and Stand. Tank is about 46"x30"x24" (yes, 46" not 48") Tank has a ghost overflow thing. 

Pic 2: 45 Gallon tank - this is the top tank on the second picture. Has two holes drilled for overflow and return. I used this as a frag tank. 75 gallon sump. Typical, years ago anyway, 3 section sump. And, the stand that I built for it.

Pic 3: Includes a full Neptune Apex system with two energy bars (there's a couple dead plugs on one of them), breakout box, WXM module, and two Avast  level sensors. 

 

Includes all PVC plumbing parts and pieces connected to the system, all the live rock in the tank and sump, whatever RBTA's are still in there, a blue hippo tang and a yellow tang. 

 

Lights are trash but you can take then if you want. 

 

$1100 for all of it. If I'm out of line with this, please feel free to make an offer.

 

I have a ton of stuff to get rid of but I'll need more time to start organizing it and will post more as I can get to it.

Hippo is gone and hoping to get the yellow out this weekend. Tank will be broken down right after. 

 

If anyone is slightly interested, make an offer. Really looking to move it quickly at this point.

Tank is empty, except for the sand. $350 for the tank and stand by itself if anyone is interested. 

 

The sump, frag tank and white stand are still available as of right now as well. 

Everything else is gone.

I'll also have a pretty large pump to go. Just need to see what model it is. Will post that up soon.

Everything is gone except the tank and pump, and those are both pending. 

 

Thanks everyone. Had a lot of fun with the club over the years.

Sorry to see you go, Ron. It was a good, long ride, though. Post when these last items are gone and we'll lock the thread.

Best wishes in the journey ahead.

Will do Tom. Who knows, maybe I'll grow a wild hair and decide to do this all again once we get settled in Florida.

Hello, I am a teacher with a new Oceanography class in Westfield HS in Chantilly. If you don't get any takers on the books and would consider donating them they would be a wonderful addition to my classroom please. I'm new to WAMAS and the forums and can share my contact info somehow. Thank you! Karen
