all

hopefully posting a for-sale thread isnt a big no-no on here, if so i apologize!

i have a 20 gallon reef that im breaking down and the contents are for sale. (keeping the equipment and tank)

I'd like to sell everything all at once if possible

-20lbs of live rock has a good amount of macro algae on it that i could never get to go away

-1 false perc. clown

-Xenia, 3-4 clumps that split off of one when i bought it, each one is about 3-4 inches tall

-leather coral, branching kind, not the toadstool kind.....pink color

-Metalic green mushroom coral, a bunch of them on a rock, many small recent split offs, a few bigger ones

-a few smaller clusters of Green Star Polyps

-Frog spawn, when fully open about the size of an open hand.

-a big clump of Cheato macro algae i kept in the main tank to absorb bad stuff and made a nice breeding ground for pods...originally inteded for it to go in a sump tank.

-20 lbs of sand.....but from what i understand, you prolly arent going to want the sand...so i can dump that once the tank is empty if you dont want it

-a slew of drawf hermit crabs and snails.....

Everything is very healthy.....the frog spawn is growing nicely, a few of the heads have split since i bought it. the Xenia also split a few times....the GSPs have spread and attached nicely to where they were put on the rock. the Clown is healthy and a good eater and always lively, been in the tank for 7 months.

I'd like 120-ish$ for it, but i really have no idea what the going rate is for a break down like this....so all reasonable offers are welcome

you can message here or email me at jeep4x4greg (at) hotmail.com

everything is located in East Peoria, easy to find from I-74, buyer brings the buckets and containers for everything

selling because i'm going to be gone for 6 months for military stuff and dont want to deal with getting a tank sitter or trying to teach the girlfriend how to maintain it in my absence!

Thanks!

Good luck, and be safe.

FWIW, this is how I like to see things done. Things available
locally initially made available to the locals.

We'll be here when you get back to get you started again.

Greg,
The wife may be lovely and tolerant, but she loves the tanks as much as I do. In fact the tank this stuff is going into was a surprise for me. This one along with about 80lbs more of rock will become my full blown reef setup, the 65g will be aggressive, and the 360 will be tang/angle/softies. When you get back and ready to stock, shoot me a message and you can have frags to get you going again, there are a few people around here that are more than happy to help a newbie, just ask. By the way, everything survived the move and sandstorm and fully expanded this morning, too bad I have to get the rock moved today and stir things up again. Good luck.
