Hey everyone, I am shutting down my reef tank as I will be starting college pretty soon and I don’t want it to become neglected. I already found a friend to take the clean up crew and the fish but I have no idea what to do with the rocks covered in various corals. I would feel bad throwing the rocks away with all of the living corals on it. If anyone has experience or advice, what would you do with the rocks with corals on them? Thank you for any help or tips!

Where u live at?? I’ll take those off your hands lol
When I had to shut down my previous tank, a couple forum posts in the 'local' area on that forum, plus an ad on craigslist.....
All the livestock and rock was gone in about 12 hours. The hardware in less than a week, including the tank. I got bombarded with responses, and I just priced it all as "Best Offer". I got offered more than I would have actually priced a lot of it at.
The cheaper you price things, the faster it sells. Try to maximize the profits and it'll sit for a long time.

+1 Have you google'd, checked FB, or checked the R2R Local Reef Club Discussion board to see if there are any local clubs in your area? If so, many local clubs have websites, their own forums or FB groups where you can offer them up to new homes.

Sell stuff on the Hillbilly Network: Craigslist
I swear I could list a used pen that doesn't work and some dude in a rusted out 1970s Ford will drive clear across town to buy it off me for 10cents
Craigslist is the great dumping ground
