So it turns out I just don't have as much free time right now as I would like to keep the tank up the way it should be, so I'm thinking I will be switching over to a freshwater planted tank. So, with that being said it looks like all of my livestock, fish, corals, inverts, macros, mangroves, rock, sand will all need a new place to go. I would absolutely love it if someone just took all of it, but I highly doubt this will happen. As for listing it I don't even know where to begin.

A few of you know what I have, but most don't. My rock is LARGE. I think about 8 pieces fill up the entire 180.

Most of the equipment will be cleaned and used on the freshwater, but I will have a SRO 3000 external skimmer, and dual chamber octopus calcium reactor. There are about 3 boxes of reef crystals, and a bunch of chemicals and testers.

I will have to start putting stuff together but if anyone has any questions throw them out there.

;( I'm sorry to hear that...

HUNGER · « **Reply #2 on:** February 29, 2012, 20:44:18 »

What kind of fish?

Blazinreef · « **Reply #3 on:** February 29, 2012, 21:07:06 »

So I guess I need to just pick a place to start so I will go with the macro display.

About 20 mangroves all well rooted with multiple leaves. -- $1.50 each.

Flame algae ball-- $5

Oatgrass/seagrass, about 15 -- $25

Shaving brush multiple heads -- $15

Mermaid fan 2 -- $10

Some random other macros as well.

Blazinreef · « **Reply #4 on:** February 29, 2012, 21:10:07 »

As for the fish, all the rockwork would have to go first, (unless you need lawnmower blennies)

xl sailfin tang--125
pair black clowns --100
3 chromi--15
psychedelic mandarin -- 20
4 lawnmower blennies(Large in the 180 and a medium in each of the 30g) --15(10ea)

That is 305 so would probably do 250ish

There are 4-5 cleaner shimp -- 12ea
a couple peppermints -- 6ea
hundreds upon hundreds of snails and crabs. -- ??

I am intrested in clean up crew for a 55 gallon, how much do you want for crabs/snails?

Jasonnau · « **Reply #7 on:** February 29, 2012, 21:29:02 »

I'm interested I'm the cleaner shrimp and chromis
Maybe salt too

Jasonnau · « **Reply #8 on:** February 29, 2012, 21:30:18 »

Probably some if the clean up crew too. I have a 210

Blazinreef · « **Reply #9 on:** February 29, 2012, 21:51:32 »

the clowns are about 1.5 inches and 2.5 inches with not a spot of orange on them. They are completely black and white.

Blazinreef · « **Reply #10 on:** February 29, 2012, 22:17:52 »

As for the rock, there are 4 Extra Large -18-24" pieces of branched tonga, (which is illegal to harvest anymore and took me forever to find) and then about 250 pounds of Lace rock from reefsystems.com in columbus. I love the stuff, the pieces range in size up to about 30". There are 10 pieces that completely fill the 180, with some smaller ones that have coral growing on them. Lazylivin can vouch for the size of the pieces. Here are some pictures of the rock from when the tank was first set up. Not sure what to ask. I know the branched tonga this size is about $10/pound, and the lace rock is I think about $3.50/pound/dry. I will tentatively put out $500 which is $2/pound. Hopefully someone has plans of setting up a big tank and needs alot of rock.

Interested in a couple of cleaners and the mandarin, you up for some trading? I have a FW planted tank that needs some trimming

Blazinreef · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2012, 09:46:20 »

Discus -- That could definitely be possible. Wouldnt be ready for the plants quite yet though.

Viggen · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2012, 11:19:45 »

You could always just change it to a FOWLR

Interested in the SRO-3000 skimmer - any idea what you want for it? Been thinking of ordering one of these for a few weeks now

Blazinreef · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2012, 11:36:18 »

I dont think I could do FOWLR. If I have salt I would have to have reef. Viggen you have a pm.

I would be able to hold them for you for a few weeks or so with no problem, I will try to get some good pics to you soon, The only problem is I have to use my phone so the quality of the pics arent the best. PM me an email address or a phone number where you can receive pic messages and I will send some your way. How long have you had the mandarin? does it eat frozen or jus pods? I may be up that way this weekend sometime, if I am I would like to stop by to check them out. Thanks Ricky

Blazinreef · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2012, 22:03:25 »

Reckless-- there is no flame angel, didnt have that on the list.

discus-- the mandarin just eats pods as far as ive seen. my email is apuhl20@yahoo.com. my weekend is pretty hectic so wont be around much this week. you will be second in line for the mandarin as it was requested a couple posts before you.

as was said, I need to get the rock gone before I can even think about catching any fish.

ohioreef · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2012, 23:38:45 »

10 for kalk
60 for gfo. It is the high capacity stuff that is 100 bux. I only used about 1 cup out of it.

ohioreef · « **Reply #25 on:** March 03, 2012, 22:17:39 »

What kind of crabs/snails? How much do you want for them?

Blazinreef · « **Reply #26 on:** March 03, 2012, 22:23:32 »

there are a mixture of all sorts. Most from reefcleaners.org there are astrea, cerith, nassarius, nerite, mixed crabs. not really sure of a price. pick some out and it will alot less than anywhere else.

Blazinreef · « **Reply #27 on:** March 05, 2012, 16:29:27 »

OK, macros are gone, mangroves are gone. I have consolidated tons and tons of different types of snails (cerith, dwarf cerith, astrea, nerite, nasarius +) and crabs (small to XXL) into the breeders so they are easy to get. Also 2 of the lawnmower blennies are really easy to catch as well as the longspine urchin. There are also 2 peppermints that I will sell for $6ea or $10 together I can get to.

Still want to get rid of the rock!! Will sell off pieces if people want it!! Some still has various mushrooms and zoas on it. Also some pieces of a monti attached and a favia of some sort.

I am home tonight so get ahold of me.

Would you happen to have any Reef Crystals left? About wiped mine out this weekend setting up the 125.

Blazinreef · « **Reply #32 on:** March 06, 2012, 12:58:31 »

I do have 3 boxes left I believe

marineman · « **Reply #33 on:** March 06, 2012, 13:10:41 »

I may also be interested in some snails and crabs. I need to get a cleanup crew going in a 28 nano. Are those ready, or still working through rock, etc? Does the mandarin eat frozen?

Blazinreef · « **Reply #34 on:** March 06, 2012, 15:05:17 »

the snails and crabs are mostly ready to go. I will still find plenty more when the rock comes out. If no one gets the rock soon it will probably end up going to gerbers.

discus513 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 06, 2012, 21:38:34 »

Do you still have the Tonga branch? how much for just those 4 pieces?

Blazinreef · « **Reply #36 on:** March 06, 2012, 22:13:26 »

I do have the tonga. Would do 60 for those 4 pieces.

Update, a couple rocks gone, 1 emerald crab and 2 peppermint shrimp gone.

Still tons and tons left.

Also still a couple emerald crabs, 2 10" bristle stars and an 8 inch serpent.
