jbird Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well the time has come. I am moving 2200 miles away and this thing cant come with me. I poured my heart and soul into building this system and I really hope I can get some return on it. It needs to be gone in the next couple months. Im not sure if Im gonna sell the whole temale or only the livestock. I would consider having an auction at my home where you can bid on the livestock. Theres no way Ill ever recover what this is all worth but Id hope to get some fair value. Very dificult to put a value on this system especially do to some of the huge colonies within. My initial thought is $4000 but I am a negotiator When you walk in and see this system, your jaw will hit the floor! Heres a few details... -120g pentagon corner tank (acrylic) -sump is a modified 50g breeder devided into three sections...skimmer~fuge~return -One 400w halide fixture in massive lumenarc reflector, two 98w pc fixtures, one double 39w t-5 fixture, led moonlights. 674 total watts -two koralia 4s and two koralia 3s. -quiet one 4000 return pump -octopus skimmer rated for 200g -two BRS automatic Ca/Alk dosers -ATO system -I will include my 5 phase RO/DI filter with booster pump, and all my supplies for reefkeeping including several bulbs that I retired early because I change bulbs before they get old. I have like 3 radiums with some life left including a brand new one I just screwed in thismorning. pc bulbs and t-5 bulbs. All water storage and maintanance equipment...basically... THIS SYSTEM HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL SPS/LPS/CLAM/FISH SYSTEM The livestock is too abundant to list.....some notables -150# premium LR with coral encrustation everywhere. -100# caribsea live sand -4" hippo tang -3" yellow tang -pair of true percula clownfish -coral beauty (NO bad habits) -yellow coris wrasse -melenarrus wrasse -manderain goby -4 1/2" electric blue corcea clam -9" teardrop maxima! -3 green bta's that split from a single anemone. They are model citizens. -I cant begin to describe the corals. Check out the pics... I AM OPEN FOR OFFERS ON THIS SYSTEM, I DO NOT HAVE A SET PRICE. IF I END UP PIECING IT OUT I WILL CONSIDER OFFERS ON THE LIVESTOCK TOO. NO SHIPPING, LOCAL PICK UP ONLY Please email me at bjwspencer@charter.net here are some pics from today.

gawf4fun Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Really a shame to have to break that beauty down. Good luck with your sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks guys. If there was any way I could keep it, I would. I wouldve LOVED to come across a breakdown like this when I was in the market and collecting corals. This would be IDEAL for a business waiting room or restaurant dining area. Or just the corner of your home! Its so much funner to watch than the TV. This thing is totally automated. I have left it for 3 weeks on 3 occasions and all I needed was to have someone feed the fish and refill the ato reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbird Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hello everyone. I am so sorry for not returning your pms. I thought I would get an email notification with my pms here but apparently I have that disabled. and I havent checked the site in a week or so. DOH!!! At this point in time, I have sold all my fish but have only sold a few small frags. I pretty much have ALL my corals still available. I do not plan on doing any shipping of livestock so keep that in mind. I am showing the tank today and I will make contact with each of you later today or tomorrow. Again, very sorry for my "radio silence" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
