I'm leaving the hobby for now and am selling everything. This is a packaged deal and I am not willing to split out anything. This reef (inhabitants) are 6+ years old, although many of the hardware, including the tank, stand, lights, etc. are all only 2 years as the original tank was moved into the 180. The price is $4500 for everything listed below. Pictures will follow sometime over the course of the next few days. Any PM's regarding splitting out will not be answered. Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Bill

I'm opting to break the tank up versus selling it as a whole. While the package deal is a great price considering I'm over the 10 grand mark for everything, I realize that is alot of cash for an individual to come up with. I will be listing the corals and their prices sometime this evening. Some of the prices will be retail and others slightly more or less. I will not be fragging as I just don't have the time. Some of these colonies are rather large so for those of you interested in fragging and selling or splitting the cost with another reefer, it would be a good way to offset the cost. I'm hoping to sell the liverock all as one and who ever the lucky person is, there're be plent of life (shrooms, zoos, pieces of acros, etc.). The fish will be the last to go. All the hardware will be listed once I've got all the livestock out. I'll be listing most of the equipment at half of what I paid, some a little more than half. I will attempt to sell much of the items to those in the tri-state area before posting to all of reef central as I don't want to get into shipping. Questions, let me know. Bill

Bill, sorry to see you leaving the hobby. I know it must have been a tough decision. :(

I know you want to part with the livestock first so, I am interested in the acros and a clam. If possible, can you e-mail me some pictures?

Wow, that's a ton of stuff! Maybe if you could just post a picture of the whole tank, people like myself would get a sense forr the SPS in particular. I'm in central PA, but I've driven farther for nice SPS.
Thanks,
Tagamet
