View Full Version : all my coral for sale

It is with great sadness that I post this, but I will be breaking down my 90g and selling off all of the inhabitants in it. Between school, more school, and work I have neglected some portions of the tank and it has now caught up to me. There are some minor issues with the tank as far as the scape and plumbing goes - the only way to fix it is to tear it all down. Instead of taking the chance of moving stuff around and trying to nurse it along in tubs until the tank recycles - I figure the best thing I should do is let others enjoy the corals instead of losing most of them. So.... here goes
I will start with the softies and lps.
3. 1 small rock with orange zoas - $20 - Pending
6. Large colony of kryptonite candy cane - will frag for $5 per head
7. Small frag of purple death palys (6 heads) - $40 - Pending to Marissa21
8. Decent sized unnamed acan echinata (similar to orange crush) - $30 - pending
11.I also have a small green favia frag - $10
12.3 head frag of ice blue candy cane - $15 - pending
I will update the list tomorrow and try to get some decent pics to add. I do not want to do this, but I will build it bigger and better when it comes back and I might go a different route with the inhabitants next go around. I will reserve by posts on this thread - please no pm requests - and I will hold if asked, but please don't leave me hanging.

John. Reading this makes me sad. Your tank is wonderful. And you are such a nice person. My most favorite zoas are the ones I got from you!
I hope you can bounce back from this soon.

I will be back. I might go a totally different direction, but it will be better. I really don't want to do this - I just can't see any other way than start over. It would kill me to lose all of the coral by placing it in tubs and waiting till I finish the tank, so others will hopefully get some good deals and enjoy some nice corals in the process. Thanks for the kind words Karin.

I had to go back and find your recent photo thread, to raise a toast to your tank. Such amazing colors... hope the tank changes go well for you, John.

Is it okay to ask what happened?
You still have your second tank though right?
FireWater
Tue, 16th Feb 2010, 06:18 PM
Yes, I have my 2nd tank still - the Finnex @ work.
It was a combination of stuff that is leading to the take down. Plus there are some issues that I wish I would have found a better way to do when I first set up the tank. Now is my chance.
