EVERYTHING MUST GO

[BIGBIRD123]

Due to the recent accident and not being able to work. The total depletion of our funds. It has become necessary to sell my tank. We don't know when I will be able to go back to work. This is something I hate to do but a necessity

Fish and Corals must go first. Most people that have seen my tank know that I have large fish, so if you don't have a tank to sustain these fish, please don't ask. Most of these fish need at least 180g.


280g RR Tank and Stand...$1000
Matt Monster Ca reactor for 300g+(reactor/20#bottle/regulator/controller...needs probe)...$250 SOLD
OM 4-way w/2 extra drums...$100 SOLD

PM for directions and phone number.

We want to thank all for you for the nice comments...we REALLY hate to have to do this but it seems as though the "system" doesn't help those of us that have worked for 35yrs... It's hard to just let go...we will be keeping a 30g with a few corals in it. Thanks Giau, you have always been such a giver.

[BIGBIRD123]

Thanks for the people that have come by...there are a lot of coral left and I will update if pending sales fall thru.

[ErikH]

this is breaking my heart. :(

[ratboy]

Im looking into the tank for a friend but could you explain how its all plumbed? Closed loop returns on the bottom I believe but cant see the side very well. Also did you ever skin the stand?

[corydrysdale]

I bought some stuff from Steve a few days ago and I cant believe that tank is empty now. I believe i made a couple of new friends between them and even only knowing Steve and Cheri for just hours....tough to see all that hard work gone. But..I hope there is an upside..when things turn around, maybe he can start at it again even if its on a smaller scale.

[BIGBIRD123]

thanks so much Cory, you still want the zoas, they are ready.

The stand was never skinned. I will PM tank info

[BIGBIRD123]

BUMP

[Jeff]

thanks for the frags steve. it was really great talking to you again and i hate to see what is happening to such a straight up, honest, good hearted person. things will work out and if you need anything just get ahold of me and i will see what i can do.


there are still some frags left folks, get them while their hot.

[BIGBIRD123]

Thanks Jeff, as always, it was good to see and the "Texas Tornado". Thanks for the kind words, they meant a lot.

[99taws6]

Steve, email me the info on the tank and whatever else you can. I am going to be moving and I have a 180 setup right now. I'd like to set a new tank up and then move my stuff into the new home and I like the ideal of a drilled tank.

my99taws6(at)yahoo.com

Thanks and sorry you have to sell.

[BIGBIRD123]

I will get this together sometime Sunday evening...

[thenewone1]
