http://www.canreef.com/phpBB2/viewto...er=asc&start=0

Incredibly clean, healthy setup with top-of-the-line lighting and excellent circulation. It is quiet and has no temperature issues. Also, I've been averaging $65 to $80 a month in online frag sales which you can continue if you would like.
I will sell the entire set up for $1000 Canadian, or more, up to you. :razz:

Thanks,
- Chad

Chad you cant sell that, before i come up there on may long weekend (i wanna see that thing live)

You have PM.

Edit:
Any sale must wait until after the may long weekend (or you have to let Mark come see it in your house) :lol:

So far I have just had requests for livestock and hardware seperately. I am hoping to sell it all as a complete package. I know that is hard because everyone on the board already has tanks of their own. I wish there was a way to catch guys on their way into an lfs - if I could have found a fully stocked system like this at this cost when I was starting out...

- Chad

Yah, but going broke is half the fun... :lol:

If there is no one to buy the complete system, you can pm me and reserve the items that you want:

Complete lighting – 250
Stand/canopy/tanks – 300
Pumps & mj12 - 200
Skimmer w/ mj12 - 40
LR w/ all corals - 400
Aquadose - 25
Heater - 25
Damsels - Free to pro-damsel home

Once everything is spoken for, I will let you know and you can pay me and pick it up. However, if a buyer for the complete system comes along first, I will sell it all to him/her instead. Sound fair?
Thanks,

- Chad

Some of us enjoy the weeks of KD dinners.. :mrgreen:

Hey Chad,
I forgot to mention I am also interested in
Candycane
Mushrooms
Definatly the rics
Definatly the toadstool

I want the Xenia !!!

Haha, true enough Emily - never fear, I'll still throw tons of money into my new project, just couldn't do both at the same time. Going broke I can handle, it's going divorced that I'm worried about.
:razz:

- Chad

Its no wonder there is a xenia shortage in Calgary... :mrgreen:

Whats the plans for the nano now Chad?
You putting in a Wavebox..? :razz:

Chad could you call me and we could talk on the phone 1(403)223-9314
Ryan

LR and coral, what ever is left of them anywho

Haha, ok true - but I have a penchant for expensive katsup :rolleyes:

Ryan and Emily,
Dang just when I figure things out, you want to buy INDIVIDUAL corals? This isn't a produce isle you know! :lol: . Just kidding, let me see what kind of interest I get fist and then I can figure out how to divide the corals.

Cheers,
- Chad

This gentleman, for example, would get all of the LR and coral - you can probably buy frags off him though.

- Chad

DOnt forget I want the tank also. :mrgreen: Emily if you got a list of the corals you want and I got mine, we could find more people. If our lists clash we could divide the corals we both want. :mrgreen:

well i dont mind sharing :)

Actually Ryan I want to get a labratory metering pump for water topoff (so I can leave the tank for a few days if I'm away), and a 70w de mh with a pc actinic.

- Chad

You all know what I want. Throw me on your lists I will go in. Not looking for big frags. Just 5- 10 polyp zoos ones or single mushrooms. I realy want that toadstool though. Chad what r u thinking for a price on the tank.

Ryan,
The canopy was built for that tank and the stand was cut to accomodate the overflows. It works best all together and I don't think I will split up further. The tank was built for me by IA for $250 the stand and canopy cost $250 in materials (labor was free because I married the carpentor's daughter. He usually doubles the cost of materials to cover labor). The sump and plumbing were probably only $50 or so.

If anyone wants the stand and canopy let me know. I am just interested in the tank. Chand I will give you 175 for the tank thats 75 bucks less than you payed new.

I appreciate the offer Ryan, and I remember that you are the one that first approached me about my tank. I will let you know.
- Chad

OK chad thanks. Looking forward to your response. :mrgreen:

Beermaster i sent u a pm check it asap lol

Ill take the stand and canopy for the remaining monuies Ryan and Fish :)

Yes, I vote Beermaster gets it all. When I see the word xenia both me and my bfly get a little excited. :mrgreen:

IM with ya full of Butterflies here. :mrgreen:

PMed u bak

Well, that pretty much locks out any other bidder for the complete system because I have already sold the amount that I was needing to sell. Dang, it seems like that happened a little too fast... wasn't I supposed to post: " bump " , " bump " every couple days? :razz:
If everyone could get a hold of me and make arrangements for pickup in the next couple weeks that would be great.
Thanks all,

- Chad

Dont you have to wait till may long everything is going everywhere

I need to wait for Mark to come p/u the live stuff first. What's your schedule like dude? Gonna be down before then at all?

- Chad

I would prefur to wait till May Long, but if i have to come sooner so be it


just hate to drive there twice so soon, if ya know what i mean

I understand Mark, it isn't a very fun drive. I will wait for the other buyers to pm me and see what their plans are.

Unreal, my whole system gone in 45 minutes. Someone pm'd me and asked how I was feeling. Man, I hope that I don't look back on this and regret it! :eek:

Thanks for everyone who participated.
Cheers,

- Chad

Wow sold it all in 45min LOL thats gotta be a record :eek:


and made more then you wanted RIGHT ON

Congrats

Mark

No kidding! I guess I just happened to get some serious buyers :biggrin: .

- Chad

I guess i wasnt a serious bider hey chad. Im a little dissapointed.

Sorry Sean. It was way better for me to sell everything at once than trying to figure out who wanted what and what each different coral was worth and trying to take them off of the rocks without losing a bunch! :eek:
If I was keeping the tank or could afford to part it out slowly to many buyers I could have done that - but this was way easier for me. On a positive note, there isn't any more or any less coral in the world - it's just under different ownership. Maybe you can work something out with Mark once he gets a handle on everything.

Im not so sure how much harder it would have been to sell the stuff other then the zoos and ric. You told me that if you decided to part of the stuff would be mine but apparently that isnt true, You managed to sell the tank stand and canopy all seperate, and from the looks of it you had lots of people interested in different corals. But its your tank your way so you can do whatever you want. Im just a little hurt that my offer was thrown away.

Glorioskis, this all happened too fast for me. :sad:

You almost found your guy on his way into an LFS, but you posted SOLD before I could get a phone call back from him. WOW.

Pretty tank, nice corals. I don't think that I could have given it up if it were mine. You're a brave man. I hope you show us pics of your new nano. I expect it to be awesome.
