Parting Out 160G Full system - Nanaimo BC

BCWolfen · #1 03-25-2008, 02:35 AM

Over the last few months I have come to the regretful conclussion that I do not have the time to properly care for the creatures in my tank. I am therefore selling my entire system. I would like to sell it off as a package so that it can be drained, torn down and moved all at once. I will be here on that day to help whomever buys it with catching fish, loading rocks into tubs and loading that entire system into a vehicle.

Update: I will now be parting out this system. No reasonable offers will be refused. If you have previously pm'd me about items please pm me again with offers.

NOTE: Livestock has all been spoken for except for 2 chocolate chip starfish. These guys eat anything, including anenomes and aptasia. Not suitable for a reef tank.

I would be interested in some livestock and possibly some live rock if you decide to part out. Would be interested in the Yellow and Blue tang, and the Coral Beauty. Send me a PM if you decide to part out.

Most fish are sold or spoken for. The clowns still need a home.
If all goes well tank will be drained on Sunday the 13th so live stock can be picked up that day. Most Hardware, if not all, hardware will be available that day as well, pending on how much time I have for cleaning it all.
