Clearing It Out !!!

Well guys and gals....it is with great disappointment that I announce that I have to sell off my LR, corals and inverts ! I don't have any clue how many lbs of LR I have but it's all gotta go because to put it plainly and simply....divorces are expensive.

I have a mixture of Carribean, Gulf of Mexico and some Tonga. Some of my base rock is overgrown with coralline algae !!!

I'm asking $3.00/lb for the rock.

Some of the items include;

A large Cactus Coral--$50

Zoos

Discomas

Yumas

A little leather

This really sucks having to do this !

John, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm interested in some stuff (including the blood shrimp, if you still have it). I'm heading out of town for the weekend, but I'll try to get in touch with you.

You know my wife is starting to think I'm hanging out with the wrong bunch of people. She is like how come everyone you know is getting a divorce.
Hope it all work out for you in the long run. Can't think of much I need that you would have.

I know what you mean. My wife says I have a new mistress and her name is CORAL. I told her really honey, she isn't a new mistress.

Didn't seem to help.

Sorry to hear about the break up....nothing easy about relationships....nothing hurts more than the end of one.

Thanks again....! Having seen others go through a divorce I can't imagine my wife and I being that hostile and bitter toward each other...I mean; she called me up and said she'd found a good deal on some furniture and wanted me to come look at it !

We really are best friends and I soooo hope it stays that way ! I know I won't quit working on our friendship ! Thanks for the good thoughts folks !

Here are some of the pics of my tank PRE-tear down !!! with a few close-ups of some of the rock.





Here is some of the rock from the Left side Tower




Here is the remaining Large Cactus Coral....I want $80 for that one...it's got some GSP growing on it as well but if you're not partial to GSP....just slice it off !





This Yellow Zoo is actually much more heavily covered now...



I also have several pieces covered in little Yumas and Discomas that I'm asking $20 a piece for depending on how big or heavily covered they are !

Please PM with requests....!

Hi -

Sorry to here about what is going on. It sucks. My wife and I were lucky enough to work it out, but it was rough. Things will get better, so hang in there.

I am looking for a tank, and if you are looking to sell, let me know. Also, on the LR, what do you have left?

Where are you located?

Mark

Is there any LR left? I have a newbie reefer friend that could use about 10 lbs +/-. Nothing too large as this will wind up in a 10 gallon tank.
