Getting out of the hobby

[icecool2]

Hey Everyone,

 

We're moving in just under a month and the tank's not going to come for the ride this time around.  I'm going to get out of the hobby for a while so I can tend to the new house and the list of projects that my wife already has on tap for me.  I don't have a whole lot to sell, but I'd very much like to see what I have go to this group rather than some anonymous people of Craigslist.  I'm in Gaithersburg, so I'd prefer pickups around here.  I can be flexible with where.  I have more to post, but this is all I have pictures of right now.

 

(NOTE:  I've been out of the loop for a while so please let me know if my prices are out of whack)

 

Fish:

2x Pajama Cardinals (Mated pair) - $30  <- I've seen them spawn several times and watched the male hold a clutch of eggs in his mouth a couple of times.

 

1x Clownfish - $15  

 

Corals:

Chocolate Chip Zoas - $15  (about the size of a golf ball)

 

Large Chocolate Chip Zoas - $30 (about 4"x4" on a large piece of LR)

 

Mixed Ric Rock (4 mouths of mint green, 2 or 3 mouths of bright green) - $30 (Left of picture)

Bright Green Ricordea (6 mouths about 2.5-3" across) - $25 (Center of picture)

Peach Ricordea (2 mouths about 3" across) - $20 (Right of picture)

 

To be added:  Bright green zoas (2x small), bluish purple zoas (frag plug), red/purple acans (20+), green acans(about 6), red acans (about 5)

 

 

Equipment:  (For sale after livestock is gone and pickup from my house only)

75g RR Tank - Make me an offer!

 * The tank background is painted on the outside (can be easily removed)

 * 3/8" glass (thicker than normal)

 * Has some minor scratches on all panes 

 * All holes are factory drilled

 

75g stand - Free with the tank

 * Basic black stand

 * It will need a bit of carpentry, but it works just fine

 

29g sump - $15

 * Glass separator panes, one needs to be reattached

 * No drilled holes

Updates:

PJ cardinals are spoken for.

 

I would edit the top post, but it looks like I can't anymore.  Mods, any advice?

Sorry, editing of posts is not allowed in the general discussion area like it is in the member's for sale section. You basically have to repost the updated list as the thread goes. Are you moving out of the area? How long do you think you'll be out of the hobby?

Oh, that would explain it then.  We're moving to Pennsylvania (Landenberg to be precise).  I'm not sure how long I'll be out, probably at least a year, but you never know.  Salt is in my blood, so it can't be for too long

I have a bin of live rock that's been sitting around for 2 years.  I just drained the water from it and I'm drying it out.  The tote and rock combined are 31lbs.  Let's say $25 and I'll throw in the tub and lid.

Live Sand - I'm probably going to throw it out.  I have around 100 lbs, if memory serves.  If you want it, we can arrange something.

Live Rock - Around 50 lbs in the tank.  The rock's got red slime algae on it and a bunch of other macros.  Some pieces have corals on them (zoas, gsp, encrusting others).  I'm looking to do an all or none deal on it.  Let's say $75?  I'll even throw in a tote for it all.

Two T12 4' Super Actinic Bulbs - Free I haven't used them in over a year, but these suckers add an awesome punch.  Free to whoever wants them.

Not much left.  The tank is completely broken down at this point and the livestock remaining are hanging out in a temporary 10g.

Equipment:

Tank and Stand - FREE  You come and get it and you can have it.  The stand needs a bit of carpentry work to resecure the corner braces on the bottom.  Tank is a 75g, reef ready with a corner overflow in the back left corner.  Back is painted dark blue, but can easily be removed.  Glass is thicker than the standard 75g, 3/8" if I remember correctly.

[icecool2]

Here's a better photo of the larger acan colony.  You can really see all of the awesome colors in it from this picture.

 

 

Also, here's a better picture of the duncan colony.  I turned the pump off to snap the picture, so the polyps closed slightly from the change.  Now that I can see it better, there's more like 20 heads on it.

 

I also found this trumpet coral that I had forgotten about in the back of the tank.  - $10
