NYC Collectors Sale. Everything must go. PICS!! PICS!! Pink Yuma! Mega SPS, LPS! Croceas!

To purchase corals please email me at JonWF@AOL.com.

Local Pickup only. Please bring a bucket or two! I have bags but some of this stuff is big! Paypal me non-refundable 30% of purchase price, balance due on pickup in cash (to prevent people from coming over to β€œsee my tankβ€?). Your items will be bagged up upon your arrival if possible – if not we’ll put it in your bucket.

I live at 73rd and Broadway – very convenient to the 1/2/3/9 and B/C subway as well as just 3 minutes off the Henry Hudson Parkway 79th street exit.

I’m relocating unexpectedly and am breaking down my tank. Dozens of super healthy corals, inverts and fish must go! Pics are totally representative taken 1 week ago. Everything is VERY healthy and has been in the tank at least 6 months. Photos taken under 3x 250w 10k Ushios and 2x 160w Super Actinic VHOs.

In addition to itemized stuff below – super mature, heavily encrusted/polyped/coraled live rock will be sold for $6 lb. The whole 3-6β€? sandbed can be yours when this is said and done for $40.

See Pic and Itemized Descriptions/Px List below (click on images for larger view) -

JonF

Re pics of the Anthias, I do not have them here. I can try to take some in the next few days and email them or post them. They are really beutiful and healthy though - nice proportions/shape - not the weird looking skinnied out types you sometimems see. Nice bright deep colors. One male, one female.

JonF

Conspic not for sale. Flame behaves fine - all corals are thriving with him - and clams and mushrooms. Flame is probably spoken for but no more fish sales until next week at the earliest. Thanks.

JonF
12/22/2004, 05:02 PM
Hi Justin - thanks for the manhattanreefs.com idea. the green wall hammer is sold - meanng this one:

18. Super Green Wall Hammer – 5β€? - $40.

BTW, the Super Pink Double Table Acro is still available.

alrha
12/22/2004, 05:21 PM
Jon, i thought i was taking the pink table? i placed my order here, on manhattanreefs and sent you an e-mail. i was just waiting for you to send me some better pics of them before i drop that kind of money, especially considering that you keep the 30% deposit if i dont like it.
and if the blue acro didnt get sold, i'm wanted that one too.

Justin_NY
12/22/2004, 05:22 PM
could u give me the update it list

JonF
12/22/2004, 05:28 PM
Albert - I am sorry but I can not send emails of each coral to each person who requests them. If you would like the pink table please paypal me a 30% deposit. The blue acro is sold. I appologize for any confusion and inconvenience but please try to understand I am receiving dozens of emails and trying to coordinate everything. However, until you paypal me I can not reserve anything. The pink yuma and the super crocea you were interested in are also sold.

The last email I have from you states "if you change your mind on the pricing, let me know" indicating to me that you were not interested at the prices listed.

Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.

JonF
12/22/2004, 05:41 PM
Hi Romain - I'm not going to sell the fish until next week at the earliest. I will post here and try to PM you when I start..

romain
12/22/2004, 05:42 PM
Can you pm me how big and how much?
It is sad to know that you parcel out such a wonderful tank, though.

very well then Jon, guess there was just a misunderstanding there, but as long as you sold it, i guess thats what matters then.
if the pink table is still available by sunday, i'll swing by and take it for $150 if you would do that. just wouldnt want to risk $200 (30% of the original) without seeing a clear picture. i might pick up other stuff as well if i'm there on sunday.

Hi Albert -

The pink table is sold. Please let me know if you have interest in anything else. You can feel free to email me directly - I am checking my email more frequently than this forum. jonwf@aol.com.

Hi -

I am reducing prices on remaining corals/rock by 20% or more

What's left in terms of corals/rock -
-A bunch of nice branch hammers, some white and some greenish with pinkish tips - now $4/head.
-A mega red and green Favites that I can't believe has not sold - $85 -> $50
-A beautiful Acro nobilis - $30
-A beautiful pink Pocilipora - $30
-Some orange ricordia mushrooms $20.
-2 Turbinaria Reniformis - $10 for the small and 30 for the large.
-100 POUNDS OF LIVE ROCK - $6 -> now $4/lb !!! It is very nice. Generally well coralined per the pics. Some areas that were under other rocks are less covered but in general this is very nice, mature rock - much of it with nice polyps/corals etc etc.

Minimum purchase at this point however is $100. In order to simplify my life, any of these corals/rock that go unsold will be brought to a Petland where I can sell on consigment. Prices will be much higher than these however.

Jon
