Life finds me too busy to mess with the tank much anymore and I just don't get the enjoyment out of it like I once did. So, it is all going to go. Corals first, of course. If you want fish give me half down and within a month (or sooner) I'll get the fish to you. If I don't / can't, I'll refund your money. If there is no interest locally I'll consider shipping. Everything is OBO, of course, but I think my prices are reasonable. Pictures can be provided upon request but it is just too much for me to take pictures of everything. The links provided are others pictures. It is always better to see them in person before purchasing. Anyway, here's the list...

I’ll sell everything for $1600 (well over $2500 at my discounted prices)
Solana 7075 Superbrite glass, 34 gallons plus approx. 35 lbs. of heavily-encrusted LR, custom oak stand and hood, 250 W single-ended HQI ballast and Radium bulb, spare bulbs, ATO system, heater, $300
AquaMaxx HOB-1 skimmer, 4 months old, $100
LR (if not sold with package), $2.50 per pound
Test kits (all open) free with minimum purchase
5/stage RO/DI system (SpectraPure brand) with a large box of sediment and carbon filters, 3-4 DI refills, TDS meter, TDS detector, housing wrench, $100

ZOAS
Too many to list individual prices/polyp counts but I’ll offer them at 65% of the lowest price you can find online or PM for a price / polyp count.
Rastas, CAO, CAR, Utter chaos, Blonde-eyed blue bs, Yellow hornet, froot loops, daisy dukes, Arm. II, S.C. big pinkys, blue steels, unobtainables/scarface, etc., etc., etc. I’m just scratching the surface here.


PM is best but feel free to post here as well.

If anyone wants anything I be able to pick it up Sunday on my way back from the smokies.
 
What is this life of which you speak and why is it taking time away from the hobby?
A true loos to the hobby, your corals were always gorgeous. Best wishes in future endeavors.
 
wow dave... didnt you get out last year? Kidding. you will be surely missed around these parts. good luck.
 
Yes I did, actually less than a year ago. Could never recover the passion I once had though in spite of buying a lot of high-end corals.

Getting to be last call time for chalices. My west-coast buyer backed out. I'll hold them at least until Zef comes through as I suspect he may want to take a new pet home but after that it is off to the General Selling forum.

Well Dave, I fully can relate to your losing the Passion for the hobby as have i and understand why you are out again, After too many years the Challenge gets less thrilling and it seems more a chore in my case to properly take care of the tank.
Plus not spending all that money on this very High Dollar hobby is a nice change, Now I spend it on having some fun traveling with my grandkids and a fun new ride.
Wish you the best in whatever you do and hope to hear from you now and then, The last piece I got from you (sniperSPS Pink Selago) is a nice colony now and will be enjoyed by the new owner of all my coral!
See Ya
Bill
 
Thanks Dave for the corals and skimmer. Thanks Zef004 for bring it back, I owe you.
 
Thread Closed as it appears to all be gone.

Dave, Good luck! and Dont be a stranger.
