theJenchild Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Due to recent financial constraints I must sell my saltwater tank. I spent quite a lot of time developing this tank to run extremely well with minimal maintenance. It is ideal for a first venture into saltwater, particularly if space is a concern. The tank will come with: -16 gallon glass nano cube (made by pacific coast) -150w sunpod HO unit with a 2000k bulb (almost new, put in on 11/1/08) -acrylic overflow box with aqua lifter -7 gallon acrylic sump -Rio pump -2 koralia nano powerheads -soap dish refugium -gravity fed auto top off -about 15 lbs live rock -about 6 lbs live sand -various soft corals including 3 types of zoanthids, purple mushrooms, neon orange ricordea yuma, pink/purple ricordea florida, 2 neon green ricordea florida, and yellow colony polyps (all corals are photosynthetic but I occasionally feed cyclopees which I will include. Enough to last this tank for the next 10 years). -2 astrea snails -2 hermits (1 blue leg 1 tri reef) -2 nassarius snails -millions of stomatellas -3 blue water containers, perfect for transporting water from the LFS if you don't have a RO system in your home. asking $400 obo. I'm not willing to part out this tank quite yet, but may be interested if it doesn't sell in a reasonable time. This is really a great tank and I love it a lot, but I have to prioritize my life. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I have a feeling you are going to have to part it out. You may want to consider selling your livestock and corals seperately. Have 2 postings one for tank complete and one for the corals. You could keep this one too but more often than not I see things like this get broken down. I trully hope the best for you and find myself feeling bad that you have to sell it all. Hope all works out. If you do I would like to have dibs on your Zoa's. If they dont go as a package.

steelhead77 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi, I'd be interested in the rock and a few corals. That is, if you decide to part it out. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It is hard to sell a complete system with corals and such because peoples opinions vary so much. Most have their own desires in their tank so it makes it hard to sell it all when most people only see a piece or 2 that they would want.

theJenchild Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks for the input CA2OR. I'm not in a huge hurry to sell this, and I'm mostly looking to sell it as a complete unit so that I don't have extra pieces sitting around forever. I've contacted the people who have expressed interest in individual parts of the set up, and explained my preference and time frame for parting it out. Although I have only been a member on this board for a short time, I have lurked here for significantly longer and spent quite a bit of time in the classified section on this forum as well as several others. It takes more time to sell a complete unit, but for the right person this could be an ideal set up. I'd like to give that person adequate time to find this listing if they even exist. Again, thanks for your experience and views on this. To anyone who has an interest in an individual aspect of this tank, please feel free to contact me. Obviously I can't sell equipment before the livestock has a home (including the rocks and sand as there are plenty of critters in there). But I would be happy to discuss with you the possibility of parting it out after I have had it for sale as a complete unit for a period of time. It is listed for sale in a couple of other locations, so I'm hoping to garner some interest there as well. Thank you to all who have taken the time to read this listing and I'm looking forward to hearing from you if there is anything about this tank that has sparked your interest.

CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I am just trying to help. I see tanks go up for sale on here and RC and 9 times out of 10 they are parted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Tank set up has been sold. Thanks to everyone who was interested! I got lucky. Turns out my room mate wanted to be more involved in the tank, and didn't know I was selling it. So she bought it and now we're going to take care of it together. I guess what they say is true, the answer is generally right under your nose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow...that is sweet. I was afraid you would have to watch it go piece by piece. WTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJenchild Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Wow...that is sweet. I was afraid you would have to watch it go piece by piece. WTG. It was always a real possibility, which I knew. If someone with experience bought it I'd have had to part it out. My logic was that someone new to the hobby wouldn't know enough to have real preferences and would probably like to have a tank that was already set up to run well. This is the best of both worlds though. I still get to play with the tank since its in my house, but its her project now. She even still wants help picking out corals and such. Yay!
