I can't believe I'm seeing this...

For those wanting to do an "Aggressive Reef", this is IT.

beautiful tank, but too rich for my blood

[erikharrison]

Post the puffer pic!

Bummer Donny, but I understand!

This is a super bargan. I'd bet $9k is WAY low.

[RayAllen]

Ive been looking for a Harl Tusk, I will wait and watch the thread to see what happens....

[kimber]

You're definately right Todd...he's just trying to shelter me (donnsa's wife) from the shock of the overall cost!

It's an amazing setup that we hate to part with. I never knew that a truly agressive reef tank was possible but Donny raised all of these fish practically from "infancy".

Anyone who is interested, but still trying to sell the idea to a spouse/sig other, the stand, canopy and auto top of reservoir are truly a very nice piece of display furniture and the tank practically runs itself. That was what got me interested in it.

[beerguy]

I could use a queen angel if parted out.

[brewercm]

Another bump for an awesome system. Wish I had the room for something that large and talk about a nice looking piece of furniture.

[TexasTodd]

Just a thought, but maybe there's 2 or 3 people that could split it.

Gator and I split a big system once and it worked out great.

Another bump! And, um, Kimber I withold further comment! Just trying to help out with the sale. :)

[floridadog]

I could use the blue tang and the fug let me know when you decide to part out

[copperband]

i might be interested in that clown and that anemone

[copperband]

also depending on what species of lion that is i might be interested in it as well

[z28pwr]

Don, sad to see you getting rid of the tank, but you must have your reasons.

If somebody wants to jump in I would be interested in most of the livestock (fish).

[semperfimarine1]

how can i get my anemone to look like that?

[Dee]

I am in the market for a tank and stand, but I can only afford $500...don't really need anything else. Wanting to upgrade my FOWLR, but all the tanks being sold that are 110 or larger are on home made stands of 2x4 4x4's painted. I want a nice piece of furniture.

[oceancube]

tank and stand alone are gonna go for at least $1500 by themself. i would love that tank as well but to big for my little home, upgrade when i get my own house here soon!

[don-n-sa]

Thanks for all of the positive comments...I will be back in...and bigger!

SO far I have had one person somewhat interested in the whole set up.

A few interested in some / most of the livestock.

A few interested in the tank, stand, canopy.

I have a viewing tonight for the whole set up so everything is still up in the air.

Dee , I appreciate your offer, if it comes down to just the tank and stand which is unlikely I will keep you in mind.


Jose you have a Pm on your fish wish list.

[Dee]

I am sure I could convince hubby to let me spend a little more if it comes down to it. It's absolutely beautiful!!!

[kaiser]

Is that the same Anemone and Clowns you got from me a couple of years ago?

[copperband]

how mutch would you sell the clowns and that huge anemone for

[don-n-sa]

ok...lots of interest but no luck on the whole set up.
I will start part out prices once I know I have the tank/stand/canopy sold.
FYI the price for the tank/stand/canopy will be $2000 which includes tank/stand bought from glasscages ( orig. price was $1300). Canopy was custom made for $800 and it comes with the T-5's and ballasts which was just over $1100. Set up needs new bulbs ( around $250 )

I have now posted this on the other sites so forgive me If I still give more time for the whole set up.

[don-n-sa]

Is that the same Anemone and Clowns you got from me a couple of years ago?

yes it is and they spawn all the time...:red_smile:

[hobogato]

donny, since you are considering parting out - if you do, i would like the candy hogfish (if that is what it is).

[don-n-sa]

Here are some more pics including what the whole set up includes. Price lowered to $4000!

More to come!

[kaiser]

yes it is and they spawn all the time...:red_smile:

If I get my set-up up and running in time I'll take them back.

[z28pwr]

Don, if you do part it out I would be interested in the following fish:

Atlantic Blue
Powder Blue
Yellow Tang

[brewercm]

If you part it out I may be interested in the Harlequin Tusk.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

[don-n-sa]

I am very interested in the entire set-up with livestock. I have left you a PM on another site.

[don-n-sa]

The entire set up is now pending sale...the potential buyer will be coming by this weekend so I will keep everyone posted. FYI he said there might be some things that he will turnaround and sell so you can keep posting on items of interest.

[don-n-sa]

Complete system has been sold to Enigma... I believe he is planning on selling some of the fish. We will be breaking it down Feb 2.

[Enigma13]

I am excited to be getting this system and only hope that I can sustain/recreate the magnificence that Donny has brought to fruition. It is going to be a tall task. Right now it looks like most of the livestock is either going to be coming with me or is already spoken for, however I will post any fish that are available once I figure that out. There may also be some equipment that I repost. I still have to plan exactly how it is going to be setup here at my place and determine what I can fit.

If anybody is available to help on Feb. 2nd, I will happily be providing food, beverages and beer to any volunteers. This is obviously a big system and any and all help would be appreciated.

BTW- Anybody in SA who is needing some live sand. Feb. 2nd should be a good day to get some for free.

[apedroza]

Congrats on the purchase!!!!
