I have been in this hobby for almost 2 years and I am painfully and expensively learning that it is not for me. So, I am selling my reef tank along with all the livestock, accessories, etc. associated with it.

I am willing to sell everything to a single buyer or sell it piecemeal as people are interested.

I live in the 19330 zip code (southern Chester County PA) and will help deliver items within a reasonable distance, but I'm not able to ship anything.

If you're interested in anything please email me at detate@gmail.com

So, here's what I'm selling:

Livestock:
- clarkii clown fish - $5
- Hippo Tang - $20
- Rabbit Fish - $25
- Sandsifting Goby - $10
- crocea clam - $40
- coral banded shrimp - $5

Soft Corals (prices include the liverock on which they are attached):
- Large Bubble Coral - $20
- Medium Devil's Hand - $20
- Purple Gorgonian - $15
- 2 xenia - $10 each
- 2 large colt corals - $30 each
- Several hairy mushroom - $20 total
- Few green mushroom - $5

Other stuff
- approx 50 pounds of live rock - $125
= this live rock has some hair algae on it, but lots of coraline algae, too
- 20+ pounds of fine aragonite substrate - $10

Equipment (I would like to sell all livestock before I sell this equipment)
- 75 gallon glass tank - $75
- Wood, enclosed tank stand - $50
- Custom wood hood with four VHO lights and Icecap ballast - $125
- CPR overflow with aqualifter (for siphon) - $50
- Mag 7 pump - $50
- AquaC Remora Pro Protein Skimmer with Mag 3 pump to drive it - $125
- 10 gallon Eco System sump - $40
- RO/DI Water purifier - $75

the reason it didn't sell in pieces is, you never follow up your perspective customers.
i would, and still will, buy alot of stuff. but not the tank itself.

Agreed...I was one of the first ones to reply weeks ago and never heard back after sending him a few emails that I was definitely interested in multiple items. Oh well...his loss. :(

don't feel bad SeaMac ... i actually drove out his way to check out some of the items i was interested in ... told him what i wanted @ his price ... made an offer on one other item @ my price ... and said i could wait till he was ready to net the livestock

emailed back in a few weeks to see how it was going ... no response

guess that was a waste of gas

Please forgive me for being less attentive. For those of you who are still interested...thank you.

If the eBay auction does not work, I will contact you via the information you have left on this site.

Not only am I not cut out for this hobby, it appears I am not cut out for online marketing either.

Again, thank you.

my thoughts exactly. maybe he really isn't cut out for <i>online marketing</i>.

i'm just hoping he's honest.
i do not need a tank, but i am thinking of bidding on it for the whole package.
now..if i win, is it REALLY mine?
