So - I hate to post this, but I'm getting out of the hobby. We had a scare with our freshwater tank that sent about 7 gallons of water soaring into the basement through the drywall and causing countless cost in damage. Thankfully we have home insurance, but I won't use it twice. One time is all it takes, and the tanks have to go.
I hate, HATE to part with this tank, I've put so much time, work and love into it - but it has to go. With the new location I haven't had as much time to give it the care it needs, and it's beautiful enough to deserve a good home.
Anyway - It's the same tank as from this thread - http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=28610 but with a whole lot more.
I've added onto that:
Main Tank:
- HOB overflow
- 1 Hydor rotating flow onto a MJ1200
- Tsunami Wavemaker with a feed timer
- 1 Hydor Koralia
Sump:
- Tunze Skimmer
- Custom plennum/skimmer box to rest the skimmer on
- Middle fuge area filled with LR
- Return MJ1200 pump
A TON of Live Rock. Easily 100lbs, zoos and huge, HUGE mushrooms abound attached to the rock
Livestock
- Breeding pair of Clarkii clowns
- Coral-safe Dwarf Angel (god I love this guy!)
- Cleaner Shrimp
- Random u/k goby :)
- Urchin
- Cleaner Shrimp
- Snails abound
- Fighting Conch
Corals
- HUGE Finger Leather just asking to be split and sold
- Torch coral
- Anthellia
- Hairy Mushroom
- Huge Duncan with tons of offshoots
- Unknown but incredibly hardy Anemones
- Beautiful Favia coral
- Some toadstools
- Enough mushrooms to kill a horse of varying sizes
- Bright Green Candycane Coral
- As mentioned, tons of zoos - Some very deep purple, another a very bright green
It is a beautiful tank and very little pains me more than to let this go, but all it would take is my daughter pulling the overflow drain out and there goes the neighborhood, and another NASTY insurance claim.
Maybe one day when we move into a home that has a dedicated room or basement for tanks, I'll try this again, until then I need this gone.
Asking $650 OBO, I've put... oh, I don't even want to think about it. It hasn't even been a year. Sigh.
