Moving: Need to find homes for tank

[spitz3]

Hello, I'm moving out of state and won't be able to move my tank with me, so need to find homes for fish/inverts/live rock/tank. I'm looking for some advice on how to best find homes for everything. Is it best to try to sell everything as a package or individually? It's most critical to sell the livestock, as I can have the tank and other hardware moved and put into storage if needed.

 

The tank is a 144-gallon Oceanic half-cirlce (reef-ready) with stand and canopy (pics below).

 

I'm willing to sell everything at well below what retail and e-tail prices are for the livestock, but figure I could probably do better than the wholesale value store credit that the local stores have offered.

Contents of the tank are:

 

1 Blue Hippo Tang (large, 6")

1 Naso Tang (large, 6")

1 Yellow Tang (large, 5")

1 Coral Beauty Angel (3")

1 cleaner wrasse (3")

1 6-line wrasse (2")

3 blue/green reef chromis (3")

1 falco hawkfish (3")

2 false percula clownfish, tank-bred (2")

1 purple stripe pseudochromis (2-3")

1 green mandarin (2")

 

3 large hermit crabs (2-3")

2 burgundy sea stars

Several assorted brittle stars

Assorted dwarf hermit crabs

Assorted snails

 

1 rose-tip anemone (about 3" across at base)

 

Green fluorescent mushrooms (medium)

Large rock with red mushrooms, brown button polyps, and small colt coral

Several rocks with brown button polyps (Large to small)

Zoanthid (green, medium)

Finger Leather coral (large)

Finger Leather (small)

Colt Coral (medium)

Symphyllia spp (large)

 

Thanks for any advice in advance,

Mike

It's hard to sell a whole system. If you part out (sell things individually) you will probably sell relatively quickly. Since you are "going out of the hobby" you can do your sale on this board, you just have to put specific prices and pickup location, and be prepared for a lot of private messages.

Where are you located??

 

We need to know if you want to part out or sell whole; and of course we need prices, whether it be whole or parted out.

maybe I missed it but, whats the price?

I'm moving to the area soon and need a setup....

[spitz3]

If anyone is interested in the entire setup, I'm looking for $3,300 (new tank/stand/canopy and lights alone cost more than this). Includes all livestock mentioned above and the following equipment:

 

Oceanic 144-gallon half-circle tank/stand/canopy (2 yrs old)

Aqua Medic Ocean Light T5/Metal Halide Combo - 48 inch (2 yrs old)

25 gal sump (2 yrs old)

Iwaki MD70RLT Water Pump (2 yrs old) (and 7 yr-old spare pump of same model that worked fine)

Aqua Logic 1/3 hp Chiller (7 yrs old)

Aqua 25W UV Sterilizer (7 yrs old)

Turbfloater 1000 Multi protein skimmer

Assorted powerheads

Assorted dry and frozen foods

 

I'm located in Ashburn, VA. Cash or certified bank checks only, and buyer must pick up.

 

If I don't have any takers on the entire setup in the next several days, then I will provide break-down pricing. Serious inquiries/offers only please via PM to this account.

 

Thanks, Mike

What kinds and how many snails do you have? I'd be interested in buying those.
