View Full Version : 85g DSA Custom Entire System Tear Down - *CORAL FIRST*



Mr Cob
Tue, 7th Aug 2012, 11:57 PM
I hate to do this but my entire collection of coral is going to be parted out and the system will be for sale as well. I'll be selling equipment too but not certain what I'll be keeping for the future tank build and what I will let go of now.

I love my livestock and if you have had a conversation with me, you know that most of it is my "favorite"...lol. Really just need to take a break and focus on purchasing a home. Also don't want to mess with the details of a live tank move when the time comes.

Coral first...

(fyi: this is my personal collection...no tax)

Misc:
- Teal Leptastrea mounted to Wet Acrylic one hole magnetic frag rack, purchased from Ace and then mounted it to a frag rack $15




Softies:
- Tyree Neon Green Polyp Toadstool 1"+ $30 PENDING Lucky (pick up ?)
- Neon Green Nepthea Leather 2 x 3" stalks w multi branches $30 PENDING Lucky (pick up ?)



SPS:
- Bright Green Hydnophora 2" encrusting $15
- Bright Green Hydnophora .5" encrusting $10
- ORA Tri-Color Valida colony 4"+ multi-branch $30
- ORA Tri-Color 1" with multiple branches $10



Zoas/Palys:
- Deepwater Japanese Firecracker Zoa colony 10+ polyps $15 (need some nursing)
- Deepwater Jap Zoas 10+ polyps $15 (need some nursing)
- Nuclear Greens 3 polyps $10
- Rainbow Raptor Palys 5 polyps $50 PD Eve (wed, 08/15)
- Everlasting Gobstoppers 6 polyps $40 PD Eve (wed, 08/15)
- Candy Apples 4 polyps $20 PD Eve (wed, 08/15)
- Pretty Penny Zoas (rasta look-alike) 5 polyps with a branch of Blue Pulsating Pom Pom Xenia $20 PD Eve (wed, 08/15)
- Kedds Reds Zoa colony 20+ polyps $35 PD Eve (wed, 08/15)
- MCC Lemon Lime Zoas 6 polyps $20 PD Eve (wed, 08/15)



Tank: $800 for all
- 85g Custom DSA Tank w/dual drains and dual returns that each have dual mega flow kits
- DSA Custom Canopy
- DSA custom stand that is much higher than normal, standing at 42" so that you do not have to look down into tank
- The tank has a custom foam background and partial foam bottom that I created, the sides and back have deep blue vinyl which is covered with black vinyl on the outside. Can be removed if desired.
- 4 x LED PowerBrite Modules that I will leave installed in the canopy. 2 strips are actinic and 2 are 50/50, I leave these on 24-7 for around the clock viewing of the system :)
- Eheim Return pump and plumbing
- Sweet Acrylic sump that Jack made for me awhile back



FYI..

AVAIL:
Mon-Thurs- 7-9pm
Fri- 7-8pm

Thanks Ace, appreciate it. This will just be a break until we buy a new house and I can get a new display, so I'll be keeping equipment that I think I will be able to use. Some of these corals have been with me over 5 years and others are just really hard to let go of. Awesome snag on the toxic greens, I was hoping you would see those.

Sorry you have to break it down Rob. That is tough. I just had to move my 125 from my 3rd floor apartment to a house and that was a treat. Lost two tangs and corals weren't happy for a couple days. Wish I had 150 for that hammer. Awesome looking piece. GLWS. Look forward to the next build you do.
