I have had this setup listed on here for months. I think the lowest price i listed was $500 but I will seriously accept any offer. I have to get rid of it all by the 14th. You will be doing me a favor by taking it all off my hands.

Noob (or anyone else) - seriously just come look and if you want it make an offer and it's yours.

Call 503.347.0213 I do not check the forum often.

PRICE: MAKE AN OFFER!

Seriously, stop by and look at it, make an offer and I will sell it to you.

The only catch is that I want you to take everything, the tank, the hood, the stand, the sump, the lights, the ballasts, the power jets, the live rock, the water (well, you can pour out what you need to), the water jugs, the extra tank, the extra equipment, ... everything.

This Aquarium is Fully Stocked with Soft Corals and various life.

PLEASE CALL! 503.347.0213 ask for David

45g Glass

Four Ballasts set up in two cases that support up to four 96W PC lights. It is currently running two Actinic and two 10k, all 96 watts

I also have a lot of other supplies I will send with you including a smaller tank for acclimating fish and corals, pumps, another ballast, various treatments, a bunch of 5gallon bottles for water, rocks, replacement lights...

I made the hood out of solid oak and oak plywood.

PLEASE CALL! 503.347.0213 ask for David

The corals are Giant Mushrooms, Red Mushrooms, Purple Mushrooms, Brown Polyps, Devil's Hand, White PomPom Xenia, and various other life.

Everything you see in the pictures is still in the tank. If that changes, I will change the pictures.

I really do not want to part this out, I want to sell it all at once. If there is something you want, maybe you can buy the whole setup and sell the rest off.

New price: $500 obo.

C'mon someone make an offer!!!

Includes pictures.

I will sell you my 45g tank and everything with it for $400!

I have been just hanging on to this until someone wanted the whole setup (I was selling for $600)

It includes everything you need to start off:

tank, stand, hood, skimmer, sump, power heads, live rock, sand, a bunch of soft corals and a fish. 4 96W PC Balasts

Seriously, if you want it, you can take it for $400!

Give me a call 503.347.0213

I live in Arbor Lodge (North Portland)

Is there a "Goodwill" type store for aquariums and supplies. I need to get rid of this system.

Seriously though, who has an offer?

Hey everyone. I would really like to get rid of this tank. Please feel free to make a reasonable offer. I am willing to reveive payments as well.

This tank would also make a great investment if you have the time to break it down and part it out. The light setup alone is worth a few hundred.

NEW PRICE: $500 obo!!!

John, it was nice to meet you too... glad to hear the frag is doing well in your tank. If you have any other questions about the tank set up, let me know! I will be in touch with you about the koi and the pump when i get started on my pond.

Tammy, good to see you again! I'd love to get those frags from you. No problem with the hair algae. I will have to make plans with you when i get back from my anniversary in Canada , sometime next week.

This post was in the "BBQ trade" thread... i am reposting it here so you can see what the frags should turn out looking like... i hope you enjoy.

To those who put the BBQ together: Thank you! My kids and i had a great time!

PS. I am still looking for any small frags (leathers, mushrooms, zoos, frogspawn... etc. anything you can spare to get my tank back to more than rocks...)

Take care!

I posted a while ago trying to make it to the June meeting? (i think) I told of a tank that had a bad heater and yuck, what a mess... anyway, i didn't make it to that meeting. I have managed to salvage some things and hope to bring some frags. I am hoping that some kind people will be able to bring some things for me too...

I lost:

- all my xenia (can you believe it? and before i could not give enough of it away) and would enjoy some more.

- my frog spawn... this is the biggest loss for me.

- my devil's fingers (satan's hand?) this was a real grower, i gave lots a way in years past.

- red mushrooms

- ricordia

- various zoos

I will even take the smallest frags you have... frags of frags if you will... i like watching them grow from almost nothing.

As you can see i have mostly softies in my tank... that is what i like.

What i still have and have managed to get frags of are

Large green mushrooms

Purple shrooms (pic looks a little more red than reality)

Colt (very small frags, i lost the mother but managed to keep some smaller pieces)

various zoos.

I took the picturs today before fragging and doing some maint.

I will bring all i can to the BBQ.

Take care and see you tomorrow!

Thankyou!

So i missed this month's meeting... i will have to try next month. That should give me some time to get some pics of the frags i want to give away.

A frag of that frogspawn would be fantastic! Thank you for offering. Maybe next meeting? Unless you think you will be up in portland sooner? I'd like to see the other pictures too.

Take care,

david

Some might remember me, some might not... but i am back!

I all but completely dropped out of the hobby a few years ago.

It all started with a very small amount of hair algae on a rock i got. I figured my tank cleaners would devour it and no big deal!

How WRONG was that!!!

It spread and spread and spread, choking out most everything including my favorite - a frog spawn that i had had for years! (one i had divided many times and brought as free frags to our group meetings). My heater also went crazy at some point during the whole thing and killed off the weakest of my creatures.

I ended up replacing it and all of my lights and finally got the hair under control. But was too frustrated to really go any further with the tank. So I basically let it sit for a couple years and only did minimal maintenance.... There is a lot that contributed to my break, the greatest of which was going through a divorce over two years ago. Then i met a wonderful lady and we got married a year ago.... and have three kids between us (ages 6, 10 and 16)! I think you might be able to understand setting the hobby aside...

BUT! I am now back!!!

I have a few great little frags that I would love to trade, I will list and picture them later. In trade (or just in kindness) i am looking for:

-Xenia (believe it or not, my Xenia died in the mess of things! I thought there was no killing that stuff! But it is always a guests' favorite so i have to have it) I use to have both the white pom pom kind and the pinkish brown kind (i can't even remember the names!).

-Frog Spawn (i really miss my frog spawn!)

-Colorful polyps - i have lots of brown...

-Other soft corals

I will accept any frag, even really small stuff - i use to have great success in growing from the smallest frags ever!

Also - and i might post this in another post - I am looking to get some lights in bulk. 96W PC (36"). If you are interested in getting some of these i think i can sell them for $25-30 to you depending on how many i can order. Just let me know if you are interested and if you want straight or square pin.

My setup:

45 Gallon glass

20 Gallon Rubbermade sump

homemade skimmer (somebody else made it, i bought it from them).

I have ran my tank since 1995, i don't use additives of any kind.

My algae outbreak was determined to be caused by a combo of a bad heater and bad (old) lights.

Take care... i hope to make it to a meeting soon!
