puntific Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yep. I can't face it anymore. I'm moving over to planted tanks and maybe someday, Discus. Anyhow... Pictures are older and do not represent size. They do represent color well. I'll be selling my surviving coral. The only things still alive are very hardy and will come back great. 1 15x8 rock with 13 orange/pink Yumas (1 huge, 2 large and the rest small, but not babies, 2 babies). This rock also has 8 Purple Tonga mushrooms. Asking $150. New Price: $90 1 Lime green Duncan w/ 50+ heads $150.$130-->$90 Yellow scroll coral, 3-4 inch, $40 $20(who would have thought this would be hardy?) Green w/ purple tips frogspawn w/ 9 heads $35 $$15 War coral w/ about 40 eyes $50 $Sold, some other smallers available I've got a chalice coral I got from Frank that he called "titty twister." He sold one eye to me for $10 I think. It's got about 20 eyes now. $100.$85-->$75 I've got a 3 inch clam shell covered completely in Meteor shower coral. It's faded a bit but will come back. $100. $60 Acan Lord, lime green with red centers, 16 polyps or so, $75 $50 and another that might be twice as big. Acan Lord, Rainbow 12 polyps, $120$65 Oh the pain... Here's another chalice this is a 2 inch frag.

reefnjunkie Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry to hear this Scott-Was the crash due to anything you can put your finger on? I remeber you saying the tank was not doing well but I dont recall if you had determined what was the cause. Whatca going to do with the polyps you got coming from the Grow outs????

puntific Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Harold: There will be some equipment eventually. I have to sort out what I need for my new system. I'm pretty sure I'll have a couple of reeeely big pumps, as well as a galaxy 250 double ballast w/ two relfectors that are less than a year old. Probably call the bulbs finished... Other stuff too. Brad: I can't really put my finger on it. Ever since I put the sump in the basement, I've had troubles. I honestly can't think of why that might be a problem though. If I can figure out what I have left in the growouts, I'll put them up for sale to any willing buyers. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry to hear that Scott... I would be willing to donate if you change your mind and want to keep going with saltwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batchelor Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hey Scott, shoot me a pm when you're ready to part with the ballast and reflectors, it's exactly what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yep. I can't face it anymore. I'm moving over to planted tanks and maybe someday, Discus. Anyhow... Man sucks to hear you are having such a hard time. You should keep your equipment if you think you may get back into it..The biggest mistake I made was selling my equipment when I needed to take a break from the hobby. You never get out what you put in and its so dang expensive to get back in to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 sry to hear Scott, if you ever have a small frag of that meteor shower i would be interested. I lost all of mine when i fragged it for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerv503 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry to hear about the crash, this hobby is very difficult and you really gotta maintain elements at all time. Give it time Scott don't completely quit the hobby! I experienced the same incident, but i enjoy the reward too much to abandon the hobby. I hope in time you would reconsider.

Eugenereef Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hi, sorry to hear bout your tank. I Have looking for a skimmer and was wondering if you would sell the skimmer. I am in no hurry and can wait until your live stock in gone. Thanks and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntific Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks for all the kind words. My move to a planted tank will satisfy a number of needs/wants for me. 1. Less death. 2. Cheaper hobby. 3. Quieter tanks 4. More scholing fish. As to the drygoods (lights, pumps ect.) I will set an initial price for each item and then offer them to folks in order that they have PMed or asked in this post. If my first price is good, then the first person will grab it. If my first price is too high, then no one will and I'll drop it and go 'round again. I haven't sold dry goods before so I don't know how my pricing will be... I've treated them all well so 120% of my purchace price sound fair, right? puntific Eventually I'll have a dry goods list, but those who have spoken up for my dual ballast or pumps will get first crack. I'm home today if you want to come by and grab livestock or try to talk me down off my prices... 503-281-7030. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenReefin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Planted tanks look so awesome if done well. Since I've gotten into reefs I've seen some well done planted tanks that look as good or better then the reef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Sorry for the loss. I hope that you will set up another reef tank in the future. Remember you have an hornet in my tank alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrokate Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Let me know when you need plants. I just composted tons of them, even rare stuff cause I don't know what to do with it all. I agree you should hold on to the skimmer and other gear that is expensive to replace. You never really know. I agree on the noise thing though. Do NOT fall for the ADA substrate. Total nightmare.
