Sorry to hear that, Troy. Hope we'll still see you on this board, your knowledge and helpfulness have been a real plus.

Wish I lived closer so I could come help pillage your tank. :biggrin:

You're gonna miss it probably shortly after and regret it :wink:

Sorry to hear you leave the hobby.

[christyf5]

zoos please! :cool:


At least you put "for the time being" :biggrin:

[mutabaruka]

Sorry to hear you are getting out for now Troy. I learned from your posts when I was still a neophyte.

I would be interested in the zoos as well ....... since we both live in Nanaimo, maybe we could work something out Christy?!

I would also be interested in the hammer and frogspawn frags.

[christyf5]

Getting out of the hobby????????? Have you regained your sanity!!!?????

:shocked!: :scatter:

[LostMind]

Can I come over to your place and take a peek at what you have to offer?

[Troy F]

To all who've replied here and through PMs, I'm going to sort through this when I get half a moment and prioritize(sp?). I'm super busy right now and an open house for viewing isn't in the cards.

I'm not selling any of the fish, they'll be given to experienced reefers with mature systems. Sorry for any confusion. When I posted this thread I was a little flustered with my decision.

I'll respond to people as I get a few moments. Some of you have received replies but all will receive an answer as soon as possible.

[Troy F]

Could all of you who've sent me PMs regarding livestock please resend you're original request if possible. I accidentally deleted my inbox.

In order of sent I'm going to have pick up at 12pm Saturday the 27th. Would those of you who plan on coming confirm with no obligation to buy of course. Prices will be 10 to 15 dollars. One rock of zoanthids will be $35 due to the large rock and the size of the coral (the one you gave me Deb the colony has more than tripled). For the Islanders if you're planning a visit earlier I can arrange a time with you. A blue-green colony and a pink colony are pre-sold due to a prior agreement between friends.

To add to the livestock, two fighting conches $20ea (sold)

I'll also be selling the rock possibly that day if there's interest (it's very nice rock). $2.50 per pound
