Steve,

Don't know if you're in a position to do this, but when I moved I had a garage sale/open house where people were free to show up and buy whatever interested them. Obviously livestock went first, followed by rock, sand, and equipment. Misc was setup just like a garage sale. If you put out word to the Sarasota, Tampa, and Orlando clubs you might be surprised how much stuff will move.

And btw, doing my moderator thing (sorry) items for sale are supposed to have fixed prices, but I'll pretend I didn't see that part ;).

Good Luck,

Agu

[stevemc]

Agu, sounds good. Yes, I know I am not supposed to have an auction, and selling price is only what someone will give you. I will not put OBO next time, Thanks.;) . Sorry i havent replied back to you, in the past, I quess the first few lines in the ad explained it. Do you need any small tanks? I may have a garage sale for the little stuff thats left, and the shade cloths and shelves. Eventually I will sell the house, at first I plan to try myself, but might list it if that doesnt work out. I'll let you know about that. Steve.

[flatzboy]

I interested in sps frags, how much for all of them. Also would you part out your 2x250 watt metal halides once you sell the corals? What kind of ballast is it?

[flatzboy]

Also i'm in venice so pisking up won't be a problem.

[stevemc]

flatzboy, the 125 whole set up is spoken for. I will keep you in line in case that falls through though. Steve in Sarasota.

[flatzboy]

They are taking the coral to or not?

[JackiinFl]

How much are you looking for for the 110 Just tank and stand ? I was not sure if you were parting out but I thought it would be worth a try.

[stevemc]

Flatzboy, I think he wants the coral-everything. Jackinfl, did you want the 110 light hood and lights,tank and stand, no sumps or pumps? Let me know, as several have inquired. Steve.

[myakkareef]

Dang Steve sorry for your troubles...Hope all goes well. If you can make a list of what else is available after the initial rush that would be great..Or if you have a garage sale let me know by email or pm...I had only met you the one time at Brians but found it wild that you used to live around the corner from us out in Mossy Hammock. Keep your head up Bro and hopefully we will see you at a meeting in the future, I know the hobby is hard to totally give up but you have the knowledge to make it work so you'll be back...

[sandman12]

You've got to be kidding.....Man this really sucks. So will u be able to set-up a 30g or something? So does this mean ur out of the hobby for good? Very sorry to hear this. Let me know if u have any livestock left, i will try to come by if u do.

Thanks
James

[sandman12]

I would be interested in sand,crabs,and snails so let me know how much and i will try to stop by this weekend.

[JackiinFl]

I already have everything needed except the tank and stand. Looking to see what you are looking to get for just the 2 pieces.thanks

[stevemc]

I am not out for good, just right now, and I do plan to keep going to both ACROS and TBRC meetings. I have sold off everything 30 and 25 years ago, to move to Hawaii, to move back from Hawaii, to go to diesel school etc, but I will be back into it after all this, just cant carry it around with me for now. Its just stuff thats taken me 20 years to accumulate. I've sold off probably 75 aquariums in the last 5 years, so this is just a drop in the bucket, but I loved the 2 big tanks. And the corals were taking off. But its just stuff. Someday I will start over. Thanks for the cares, I'm doing OK. Steve.

[sandman12]

Steve, can i stop by this saturday? I would like to get some snails, hermits,sand, and that green house sheeting, and any corals (and iam sure mroe once i see everything).

Thanks

[stevemc]

James, the 125 with all critters is spoken for - once the money is in hand I will know. As for the greenhouse cloth, will your folks allow you to contruct a greenhouse? If so I have all the cloth and shelves to set one up. And can help you do it. Ask them and get back with me. Tell your mom she can grow orchids in it too. If so I will bring it by in a trailer, its a huge roll that weighs a couple hundred pounds. And if you need some shelves I definatly will need to bring them in a trailer. Steve. I am at work and will check here occaisionally.

[sandman12]

So all the snails/crabs/sand is in the 125? As for the greehouse, i just want to start on a small scale for now (15'x15') with geothermal cooling. It should be fairly cheap to construct teh actual green house right? 2x4's, the screening, and cement for the most part. What size PVC and how many feet of it would i use for the geothermal cooling? I would really want to start a bigger one after college as a career.

Thanks
James

[sandman12]

[sandman12]

Thanks
James

[stevemc]

Sorry, IT at work put in new computers and I havent been able to get back. I took some pictures last night and can email some pics of the 55, 125 and 110, to anyone who would like to see them. Shop is open again. Steve.

[stevemc]

Also, how do I put pictures into my gallery?

[mustang51js]

what are you looking to get for the 250w bulbs

[flatzboy]

So every thing is back up for sale? If so I would be intrested in your sps... How much would you like for all of them?

[flatzboy]

Never mind my post i'll probably be selling my setup soon.

[biglou]
