Is this still available???

LAST CHANCE BEFORE I part out my equipment.  I have cleaned most of the tank/equipment and boxed it up for transport/shipping.  This has huge potential as a money maker while still retaining enough for a nice set up... I just want to be done with the big tank and keep my small fish only tank so this HAS TO GO! 

NOTE *** tank is not up and running, and only one fish would be available from a smaller tank I have (a small black and white clown).  Otherwise no livestock included as I emptied the tank and rehomed what was left.

Letting this hobby go in lieu of another that my kids are highly involved in... horses lol.  Both are time consuming and require daily attention so one has to go... mine.  This tank crashed last year and I emptied it in hopes of restarting from scratch.  It just never happened and now that we have equines, doesn't look like it will for at least a few more years.  Price includes EVERYTHING I HAVE... Willing to part out only if tank sells first.  If you want the tank, let me know what you want with it, and I can part out the rest and we can talk price on what you do want.  NOT WILLING TO SELL ITEMS SEPARATELY UNTIL TANK GONE.  Price reflects EVERYTHING shown and/or listed.  Additional pics available on request, but A)please don't ask unless you are serious and not just tire kicking, and B) please be patient as most of the items are stored away in totes and I will have to dig them out (again, the reason why I request you only ask if serious).  Ok, so here we go;

Nothing fancy, just a reactor to run GFO in.  Prefer two little fishies, but I don't have any experience with reactors soooo... let me know what you have and/or think.

I have a 'whatever' that I'd like to sell.  It's a 4 bulb t5 with a center MH and led moonlights.  Let me find out measurements for you tomorrow morning and we can see if it's something you'd be interested in.  Had it over my 75 gallon (same length as a standard 55) and it fit perfect.  I didn't like how the center brace was right where the MH would shine so if you have a plastic center brace it might be an issue.

Aha! Thank you Vance164. I will be renewing next month probably.  I won't stress about it, lol.  I'm just a little ocd and every time I see the title I can't help but think, "nope, that's not right- I changed my mind" lol.  Oh well, the posts say what people need to know.  I'll post a new one for equipment I need... maybe in the buy/trade?

Hey Matty, I'm kind of a 'beginner' lol.  I'm starting over after a year of no coral (except some xenia, 2 red mushrooms, and a duncan that must be the toughest coral on the planet to survive the anemone apocalypse. JK... I live so far away it's not even convenient unless I paid and even then I'd have to organize a courier or have anything shipped and this weather is not shipping friendly.  Man I wish I lived closer to all you guys!

how do i edit my original post?

Well, in the meantime...

I will be waiting on the flame and CB angels.  I don't have corals established again yet so I don't need any new frags getting nipped at plus I've decided to wait and get a juvenile of each and add them at the same time to see what we can do about limiting the territory issues.  It'll be a shot in the dark and several months down the road, but just something I'll roll around in the ol' noggin for now but not act on.

I've been looking into it and it is up in the air... but general consensus is it depends on aquascape, how much you feed, and when you introduce to the tank (together or separate). Plus each fish has its own personality so some will be bigger a**holes than others lol. I'd be willing to give it a try but my preference would be the flame angel also if it came down to it.

I'm glad you pointed this out though... I'll probably wait until I can purchase two juveniles at the same time.

So you're wanting to buy these things? I have a coral beauty I wouldn't mind selling. He's cool and super healthy and never touches coral, but I want a flame angel and you can't have both.

do you still have the tang?

is this gone?

ALSO- I have a mated pair of b/w clowns to trade or sell... if that spices things up a bit.  I'll be posting them separately also.

Hey ALL!

Been a LONG time since I was on here.  I used to frequent the forum if any of you remember me lol.  I've just parted ways with my little 15.5 gallon nano cube but I still have my 75 up and running!  The most recent compliment was from a non-fish friend who said "oh it's soooo pretty!  I love how all the grass flows in the current!" LOL.  Yes, I have been neglecting the tank and never added the proper clean up crew.  It's slowly getting under control and the fish are healthy and happy so it's only a matter of time.

So here's the scoop... I've been in school for nursing and it has literally consumed me.  I feel like I have a groove back and could possibly get this tank looking good again.  I have a clean up crew on it's way and have a lawnmower blenny that looks like a helium balloon he eats so much.  Here's what I'd like to start with...

Yellow tang

red flame angel

coral beauty

Mushroom corals

leathers

zoas/palys

ricordias

favias

acans

basically anything easy to frag and CHEAP. lol

I live in Coos Bay so shipping is a must.  I'll happily pay for shipping and it's almost always overnight from portland to here because everything comes straight from there to here.  Corals would be fine going standard, but fish I'd have to pay to have overnight guarantee or just wait to find a courier who is coming this way (I have several friends who live up there).

Selling my 15.8 gallon (60 liter) Sera Bio Cube. Used as a saltwater reef tank until I robbed the corals to put in my 75 I finally have up and running. Now it's just a fowler with a few fish and I don't have time to keep up on both tanks. $350 obo with stand (not willing to separate stand and tank- I have no use for either w/out the other). Stand has enough room for an additional standard 10 gallon below w/cut out for plumbing. Some pics are of its 'glory days' as a mixed reef tank. THESE PICS SHOW WHAT THIS TANK CAN BE... NOT what you are buying. I am selling tank with live rock and sand (structure shown in last pic). Optional/additional purchase of mated pair of black clowns who currently inhabit tank but are over sized for it. Please PM me with questions as I may not see them on the main thread. Pick up in Coos Bay. Delivery options may be discussed. Throwing in any and all extras I have including a koralia nano 240 powerhead, finnex (I think) titanium heater with digital display, live rocks and sand, magnetic algae scraper, and whatever else I have for the tank.

PLEASE NOTE: Chinese led used to light tank when corals present... however the included light in hood is a t5 and needs replaced if coral growth is desired. Bulb is 4 years old and costs approx $30 from manufacturer for replacement. Bulb is sufficient for fowler.

TEXT 541-404-7216 FOR PICS... I couldn't upload them from my phone at the moment.

WTT a healthy clone of my multicolored bubble tip anemone. Split was natural and nem is healed, opens great, eats and has good color. Detached from the rock near the original nem and I put it in a net basket, so there's no harm to the foot. I'm looking to obtain a healthy yellow tang and a peppermint shrimp...NOT a camel shrimp (they're easily confused). Located in coos bay and not likely able to travel due to vehicle issues. Contact me via phone or text 541-404-7216... I don't check messages often on the forum. it's currently in the net above, but you can see the tank is healthy and happy.

here it is on the lower left about 4 weeks after the split. (Ignore the algae... the urchin took care of it. I was leaving my lights on too long).

is it really a 38"? or did you mean 36" or 48"?  I can't find any info on the 38" size.  

Do you have pics?

Nothing special- just tired if using 3 hydrometers to try and get an 'approximate' reading. Willing to pay by PayPal- need shipped to coos bay 97420 too. Lemme know cost plus shipping:-)

I don't get on the forum as much as I'd like.

Oh, and I almost forgot the plumbing...

THANKS!  I think I have a before pic... lemme see-

I took off the heavy 1/2" plywood and replaced it with lighter weight pine boards.  I wanted blue pine but it was too expensive so I went to the outlet lumber place here and we found super cheap boards that had a lot of knots and wane (which I love).

The husband got me my own power tools for valentine's day :-) a chop saw (miter saw?) and a reciprical saw.  He helped put all the boards I cut on the frame and i did the doors on my own.  It took another 6 months after the stand was finished before I did the doors, lol.  I still need to add more height and a door to the hood- designing is challenging since I've never done wood work before and have to really think for a while when cutting angles and lengths so I don't screw up.

****and yes, I realize that most of these are soft corals that aren't as attractive to a lot of people- but I happen to like them and my tank is still balancing out so they're the best bet for survival.  I am adding the LPS from my cube slowly but don't want to lose them by just tossing them in a new tank***

It doesn't look like there's much in there because everything is small by comparison to the scale of the rockwork- but it will grow in!  I'd rather have great grown out pieces than a gazillion little pieces (oh, and plus I can't really afford any more coral for the next few years until I finish school, lol)

Working on pics... will post tomorrow- they're coming up SUPER tiny.  I'll post the tiny ones anyways...

Bumping this before putting on eBay and RC. Call or text if interested 541-404-7216

On a good note- we took lemons and made lemonade.  

The boy tomato was hiding in this fake hollow rock and wouldn't come out (stressed I'm guessing).  So, I took a gamble and put him in the main display (he was in the sump) with my pair of oscellaris based on the following: it's a male, he's bigger than the female oscellaris, there's LOTS of hiding places in the display, and I would have several hours before going to bed to monitor interaction.  

SUCCESS!  Ironically (and I'd forgotten about this) the 13" long engineer/convict goby that, up until a week ago, was together with the tomatoes in a 30 gallon (yeah not ideal- was temporary too long) and the male tomato loved to sleep snuggled into the goby's long body folds!  He would hang with the goby more than the female tomato.  Well, guess who got plopped right into the 75's main display a week ago when there was power issues?  The goby.  So, once the clowns all checked each other out and decided to just ignore each other- the tomato seemed excited to be in such a large tank and was swimming ALLLLLLL over- which I decided was either excitement or he was looking for his mate.  Then the goby came out to eat and it was love reunited, lol (que the music... "reunited and it feels so goooood...").  Now the tomato boy is 'hosting'? 'paired up with'? whatever you want to call it- he doesn't leave the goby, lol.

CRAZY FREAKIN' CLOWNS!

Thanks all for the help- I lost her last night.  It happened pretty quick over the course of 6 days, the last two I could see she was going downhill.  I had an airstone in with the melafix tank, but I agree- it sucks the Oxygen out and I hope that I didn't facilitate her death by trying that.  It was sad to see her mate last night- he was either distraught or thought she was trying to lay eggs?  He was meticulously cleaning a spot in the sand next to her and fanning his tail at it to blast debris out of the area.  He got up under her side fin and would nudge her forward (she was listing side to side late last night and I figured I'd lose her by morning).  So sad she died like that- kinda wish she just flopped ALL the way on the rocks and spared herself these last 6 days of misery.

I have two ecoray 60D leds for sale.  Both in excellent condition.  I bought them from an aquaintance and have tried to make them work with my setup for 3 months now but they are just too bright and I don't have the space available to move them away from the water surface very far.  

These are rated well for growing everything, but especially SPS corals.  I know she spent an arm and a leg on them new but I am only concerned in getting enough out of them to buy the lights I need for the tank (dimmable ones).  The ecoray's are NOT dimmable for the record.

One of the fixtures has a new driver for the blues and fans coming direct from ecoray as that driver failed.  I am asking $200 for one light, and $225 for the second one with the new driver (will be installed and proven before sale finalized- should be here in a couple days).  A friend has these lights and LOVES them and her tank is absolutely amazing!
