Hello all,

I Have decided to get out the hobby for a bit, and i am selling all my fish, corals and rock, and possibly tanks/equipment if people are intrested.
I have had this tank for three years with relatively good sucess in keeping everything healthy and happy, but as of late have been a bit busy with work and other intrests. I have always been a fish first and coral second kind of attitude towards my tank. So i will try to get rid of all my coral and rock first, just to help catching the fish a bit easier and less stressful on them and myself!!
All fish and coral are healthy and eating like pigs.

So without further adieu....

Tank-180g 6x2x2, with a 6ft Hamilton Tech Belize sun fixture 3-250w mh's and 2 80w t5's and 2 MP40w powerheads
2 50g {18d x 36w x 19t} sumps with refugium, super reef octopus 3000int protein skimmer, 2 deluxe bulk reek supply reactors
1 50g {brand new, never used same dimension tank}
Reeflo dart return pump
Digital aquatics RK2{very reliable} and a Neptune Apex aquacontroller
with two energy bar 8's{hooked up but never used]
Never used vertex zeovit 3.0l package from JL aquatics

All equipment will not be sold till all livestock is gone

As for the live stuff..

Starting with the corals
2 large rose tip anenome and 1 smaller one 60 and 40$
1 softball sized hammerhead coral{25-35heads} 60
2 red/green open brain coral 30ea
1 branching frogspawn tree 50
1 torch frag 10
1 6 head candy cane 60
6 different sized chalice{hollywood stunner, 2 green zombie eye, and other nicely coloured pieces} 25-60
2 large favia{purple w red eye, green w red eye} 50
7 large elephant ears 10-20
1 20 head pink lobophyllia 40
1 4" red plating monti and tri coloured acro on same rock 40
2 aussie acans{2-3"} 25ea
2 devils hand large frags{2-3"} 15
and various other pieces that i cant remember the names of
, but will give a good price if other pieces are bought

I have lots of various shaped and sized liverock, GSP covered pieces as well in my display and about 100lbs of sump/filter rock, that i will sell for 3$ a lb as compared to an arm and a leg at the stores


As for the fish..

1 7-8" naso tang{very peaceful}
1 6" orange-shoulder tang{eats out of my hand}
1 6" regal tang
1 3-4" gold rimmed tang
1 5-6" sailfin tang
1 2" two spot tomini tang
1 4-5" lawnmower blenny
2 breeding clownfish
1 3" yellowheaded goby
1 3-4" pinkspotted goby
2 ruby anthias{1 male+1 female}
1 1.5" six line wrasse
1 magenta dottyback

I'm not posting prices on fish and equipment, cuz if people are intrested
i will be willing to negotiate a price on them, as i said earlier i wont be selling fish or equipment until most of of the coral and rock are gone

I live in Spruce Grove{which is 15mins west of Edmonton} and will be home all weekend, as well as Monday. My cell number is 780-893-6457 if you need to contact me
Thanks Jay

And i guess im computer illiterate cuz i cant load pics as of now and will try in the morning

Geez. People and their "it's in the rules". Not making any friends with that one. Ha ha. Shipping would probably deter you from actually caring about the prices anyhow.

Read the full post. He explained why not posting prices and left it open to offers on the fish.


I have one of Konas RBTAs. Great nem. Bump for some nice stuff.

There is a grey area in everything.

But I won't argue with Aquattro. Anyone with "tro" in their name has to be tough. :twised:
