Well my priorities have changed and I am going to sell some of my chalice collection as well as some of my other favorite corals.

The corals are in a 40 gallon low nutrient system (no fancy systems, just no fish, heavy skimming & water changes). Overdriven T5 lighting (IC 660 Ballast with individual IC reflectors) running 2 Aqua Science Blue, a KZ Fiji Purple, and a KZ Next Generation.

All pictures have had the white balance corrected in Aperture.

Shipping will be in styrofoam containers, double bagged corals and packing peanuts to fill any voids. Shipping will either be pick up or overnight by company of your choice. Please don't ask me for shipping quotes until you have decided on the corals you want so I know what shipping container size I will use.

There will be absolutely no arrive alive guarantee!!! I repeat, NO refunds. I am not responsible for a shipping companies errors, no one being home to receive a package, or the weather. I will be diligent on my end to try and make sure the corals have all the protection they need to make the journey safely but like I said before, no guarantee.

I will be posting these corals on multiple forums so the best way to ask me questions or speak for a certain coral will be to email me directly at lithicaconsulting@hotmail.com.

Now that that's all out of the way, lets get to the good stuff.

Hope those new priorities still include a reef.

Most impressive chalice collection I have seen - good luck with the sale.

I will always keep a reef, just I am going out of country for a couple months and don't want to come home to dead corals. I'd rather sell them and start over when i get home!

Wow good luck with the sale! I know in the US these would go faster than Micheal Jacksons hair on Ebay, good chance for anyone in Canada to pick up some super rare coral if there pocket is deep enough :mrgreen:.

I didn't know my Chalice worth THAT much.
Picked one up locally for $20 a year ago now it is twice as big.
I guess both of us did not know LOL.

Really depends on the type of Chalice you picked up, there are some cheaper ones out there but you would never see the ones listed here for that price.

Some of my prices are a little higher than you'd normally see at a LFS. Especially the no name chalices. I have put in a lot of time and found some winners that would have had some fancy name already if they were in the states. The other LPS are just good stock that have great colours and I feel they are worth x amount, if someone doesn't feel the same... they don't have to buy it haahaa!

The named chalices are going for fair market price.

In the end I am flexible on anything I have listed here, and am open to reasonable offers.

Cheers

Have to agree with you, saying that you can get the pictured coral for $20.00 is not only completely off topic but is intrusive on the seller and a fair bit rude and inconsiderate. Scyth like you said can charge what ever he wants, but that doesn't mean you can come on here and ruin his thread. Besides even though the prices might seem a tad bit high he is only trying to recoup the costs that he spent on them.

Take a look on reefcentral buy/ sell forum and you will see that his prices are fairly average. This guy is selling a 4 eyed frag for $400.00.

Scyth if you were closer I would snap up a few of the corals right off the bat, good luck with the sale some very rare coral there!

There is a chance the whole load of them may be making it your way. And I am sure the opportunity would present itself for you to buy frags off of them.

I'll update you when I know!
