Getting out of hobby sale (Calgary)

As per the title, I am shutting down my tank and selling everything off. I no longer have passion for the hobby. I have always had a fish tank for the past 17 years, and I'm ready to move on to try something new.

Beaware that I use Calgary tap water treated with Seachem Prime. Never had fantastic colors, but oh well. I thought I had AEFW, but that was only one one coral and I have never found it again. It's very possible that it was a copepod that I had mistaken. All corals were dipped in Iodine. I have been battling with cyano and it's still there on the rocks and some frag plugs. Some SPS have burnt tips and STN spots due to low Alkalinity.

First come, first serve. Preference will be given to the 5 people that I know on this forum. lol

This is what the tank looked like before.



And what it looks like now. I'll try my best to take pictures of each item. But I have no clue on what they are all called.

It was fun while it lasted. I just don't want to spend anymore money into the hobby. Based on my calculations, I would need to dump another $650 each year just for maintenance.

I also lost the passion for it. It's no longer fun and I'm ready to do something else with my time and money.

As for the equipment, I'll post another thread when all the live stock is gone.
