SPS tank, To sell or Not to sell??

[Reefadict]

Im going to be moving ( hopefully by the end of this year). I have a 50gal tank full of SPS ( post pics later) Some great colonies, some great frags. All and all I probably have 1200.00 in SPS. Im really on the fence wether to sell it and start over at the new house or risk the move. On one hand I could use the money and It would make the move much much easier. On the other hand, I got some really great stuff that is bug free and healthy. I have an efflorescence that I got when it was about 4in. and is now about 10in. I spent a lot of time and money putting this reef together so its hard to let go. Im looking to see what kind of interest this draws. If a lot of people are interested I will probably sell. I just want it to be all or nothing. I just dont want to get rid of a few colonies and still be stuck moving the rest. So Ill try and post some pics tomorrow and see what comes of it.

I would be interested in some of your sps and your live rock... Let me know

[lclau]

Definitely interested in your efflo like I told you that one time. I can only imagine how big it is now

[misery]

You could frag the heck out of your colonies right now, and rubbermaid the rest for easy transport... that way you get a little change and still keep ye tank!

[lclau]

Yeah, then you have backup "clones" running around town in case one coral doesn't make the trip.

[MiddletonMark]

Or out of town :)

But that's what I'd do. Keep at least frags from what you have [if not more] ... but get some cash for the move [and smaller pieces to move].

As you said, healthy, bug-free livestock. Nevermind varieties you have experience with ... IMO at least keep a little.

nice tank, have you decided on what your going to do yet?

[Reefadict]

Yea, I think I'm just going to try and sell it all. Once I move I can just start over. I already have a 125 AGA RR brand new in the box waiting to set up once I move. Heck, I'm even thinking of selling that because I regret not getting the 180. I really like going to different stores and hunting down that next cool sps anyway. With the space all taken up in my tank, I really havent been able to do that. Anyone interested in buying any of these corals should understand: I am not a dealer, I cannot guarantee any of the sales. I will be completely honest with anything you have questions about. All the stuff in my tank has been there from months to more than a year and all ( except for 2 montiporas, go figure some of the easiest SPS to keep) are doing excellent. Due to different husbandary techniques, levels of experience, and different tank parameters and operations( IE; flow, lighting, nutrients, ect.) I cannot be responsible for these fragile creatures once they leave my tank. The stuff is definately a lot better looking then the pictures show. The corals are kept under 1-250W. Hamilton 14K bulb and 1-400w. XM 20K bulb. How I intend to sell is the corals first. Some of the colonies and frags are attached too good to the LR. The frags I should be able to detach from the LR but the colonies that are well attached will have to go with the LR. After the corals are gone I will then sell the fish ( 2 false clowns which I will not split, 1 spoted mandarin, 1 six line wrasse, 1 blennie, 1 red spotted gobie with a host engineer shrimp which I will not split, and 1 blue tang about 3-31/2 '' long) After that I plan on selling the LR. Due to the filtration needs, I cannot sell the LR until the fish are gone. Anyone interested please PM me, Thank in advance-Karl.

p.s. do you have any ls in the tank that you would sell to feed my cc? pm me when u figured it out

How much for all the sps in one shot?

[GaVitroN]

Damn, is that what I sold to you as a A. solitariensis? That and the psammicora are huge now!

[Reefadict]

Yea, the solitaryenses is really an effloresence. When I bought it from OTA it was about 3-4'' around now it is about 9'' around. And that psammocora atleast doubled in size if not trippled. The psammocora is the only colonie that Im not going to sell. I have a few frags of it for sale but that is it. Im sure everything else in the tank I can replace but that psammocora was like pulling teeth to get. It's good hearing from you GaViTrOn. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
