Possible FS: 65 complete setup: Who likes a challenge?

Since I barely have enough time to maintain 1 tank, let alone 2, I'm considering selling my 65 gallon RR complete set up for a steal.

$400 complete:

65 gallon RR tank, stand, canopy with 2x65w retro PC and a 150w MH pendant sitting on top, mag7 return, Coralife Super Skimmer w/pump, 2 seio's (cant remember the gph on em atm), sump, heater, 70+ lbs live rock, rose BTA, paired ocellaris clowns (black female, orange male) hosting in the RBTA, 2 blood red shrimp, 2 emerald crabs, harlequin serpent star, various cleanup crew, sandbed of about 3 inches.

Here's the kicker though...it has a MASSIVE algae problem. Rocks are covered with it, glass is covered in it, even my snails/crabs are covered in it! Oh yeah, plenty of aptisia (however ya spell it) thrown in for free I would also recommend a new sump as this one isn't very good.

I just don't have the time to do water changes and tank maintence to provide the best environment for the fish and inverts.

If I have to part out, I will, but I'd like to see if anyone wants a challenge of tanking a tank from EWWWWW to AHHHH.

If you end up having to part it out, I would be intersted in the Clowns and RBTA.

$400 for it all, minus 1 of the RBTAs and the clams...they'll go in my 90.

whoa....those are some serious dinoflagellates...


If you want to part out the coralife super skimmer, I'll buy it today if the price is good. Someone was selling a 125 for $40 on another thread, so considering your price on here, the dinoflagellates, and that price I have an offer...PM me.

With the lighting, RBTA, clowns and everything I think this is a great deal, even with the algae issues.

Too bad I don't need a 65...
