Title: Kind of new.
Post by: DaveG. on October 08, 2013, 18:29:05
I used to be on this forum a couple of years ago when I was still learning about reef tanks.  Although I am never done learning, I'm done actively researching the topic.  I don't remember the username and I change email accounts often, I probably registered a message forum to a junk mail email account.  It's just something I do.

Anyway, I'm building my posts to sell my setup.  I don't trust the people I meet on facebook.  Well, except for one person who I know is on here.  I'm going to miss this hobby, but I'll get back into it when there are less moving parts in my life.

Good luck with whatever is going on.

It doesn't seem that I am able to respond to pm's.  I will say that I have a 4 year old mandarin goby and a copperband that is over a year old.  I know these fish are hard to keep, but mine have done well.  It's why I am hesitant to sell to people on craigslist.  I have always kept lava rock in the first chamber of my 'fuge and I think it has something to do with the pods available for those fish to eat.  They don't eat the frozen food I put in there for my foxface.

There's probable 100 lbs of rock in my 6' 125 with corals growing everywhere.  I'd love to sell it all at once, but I know that isn't practical.  I would really like to sell everything alive at once, then part the rest out.  With that much rock it would be hard to catch just a single fish and I don't want to stress them out more than necessary, I'm sure people on this forum understand.

I would love to use my display tank as a refugium, reverse photo period with a deep sand bed and many bottom dwelling critters in the DSB to ensure there would always be something interesting to look at.  There's just a lot going on right now, I have to take a break.

Finding a buyer for all live stock at once will be hard as many of our tanks are at least partially stocked but I will say id be interested in your coper band and what type of mandarin?
