Downsizing, FS: 72G tank + stand, live rock, pump, lighting, critters

[davidc]

I'm downsizing my tank from a 72G bowfront to a 29G, so I have some stuff for sale.

Live rock - i'm guessing about 75lbs - all for $200, otherwise $3/lb SOLD
There are two kinds of rock, about half of each kind. Some of it is the flat kind, and some of it is the normal 'round' kind you see in the stores. The oldest of it is the flat kind, which I got uncured about 2.5 years ago. I got much of the normal round kind cured from Atlanta Aquaria probably about 1.5 years ago. I consider all my rock to have interesting shapes and colors, and it is pretty much algae free. There is plenty of detritus to shake off, though, so slosh it around in a bucket. Some of the rock has 1 or 2 mushrooms attached, and one lucky person gets a baby Candy Cane that is growing out of one of the rocks. Also, as usual you really should quarantine any rock you buy just in case. A couple of the rocks have Majano anemones on it, but they don't spread very fast and they can be removed by scraping some of the rock off from under them. I have not had any other pests for about a year now.

72 Gallon Bowfront Tank with black stand - $300 SOLD
This setup is about 2.5 years old and is in good condition - maybe a couple of small scratches, but not really noticeable. It's the standard All Glass Aquarium 72G Bowfront with the curved black stand. It's got the reef-ready MegaFlow thing from the factory. I don't want to seperate the tank and stand. There is also an unfinished DIY light canopy that goes free to a DIY-er.

2 175W Metal Halide Ballasts + 1 socket & bulb - $20 each SOLD
These are plain magnetic ballasts with capacitor for single-ended 175 watt metal halides. One of them was used about 2 years, one of them used about 1 year. One used bulb and one mogul socket goes free to the first buyer of a ballast (whoever picks it up first).

External Pump - Little Giant Q 4-MDQ-SC (High Head model) - $50 AVAILABLE
I bought this pump hardly used, if used at all, from someone about 1-1.5 years ago. It's loud, but very powerful. I've never had any issues with it other than sound level, so it would be a great basement pump.

*Ginormous* 'Geoff Style' DIY protein skimmer - Free SOLD
Free to a DIY-er, does not include the pump. I was using a pump and air stone, but you can put whatever nozzle you want on the input. I recommend a venturi, but I had decent results with the airstone approach. With collection cup, this thing is almost 6ft tall!

Serpent star - free to good home SOLD
This is a big one, and unfortunately he has lost a leg somehow during the deconstruction of the big tank. You need at least a 55gal for this one probably.

2 cukes - free to a good home SOLD
I have 2 cukes - one is on the glass currently, and the other is on a rock. If it won't come off the rock it goes with it. I've had these for a long time with no issues. These don't seem to be easily disturbed.

Big Yellow Tang - $10, must pickup soon or he goes to the pet store. SOLD
This is my first salt water fish. I've had him since the tank was cured, and I hate to see him go, but he's just way too big for a 29 gal. Please don't take him unless you have a 72 gallon or larger tank.


I will post pictures soon!
Please email, I check it often - david@electronicauto.com

forgot to mention - I will gladly accept trades on SPS and LPS frags, or clams, for anything but the rock and tank.

Also, I am looking for a quiet one 3000.

Will you put me down for 6 lbs of liverock (preferably baseball size or smaller)? I'll understand if someone wants to buy it all.

P.S. I'm in Sugar Hill and can pick up anytime.

Most of this rock is pretty large. I only have a few pieces even close to that size, and they have been in a dark sump for a long time so they are pretty much white. There's no way I have 6 lbs of it. You're welcome to come take a look though. I'm home all day, email if still interested david@electronicauto.com

What color are the cukes, I'm assuming yellow?...

The cukes are not the bright yellow ones. They look kind of like this
http://www.aquariumarts.com/browncucumber.html but they are a light brownish yellow instead. They have the same head though. Seem to be mainly filter feeders, they don't sift the sand. I have cought them spawing a few times though! I saw a couple of baby ones, but I think something must have eaten them or they didn't have enough food.

EDIT: i guess the color depends on the lighting a little. Right now with the tank dim they are pretty dark.

Thanks Sal, and thanks Big D for giving up the Tang to Sal

Here is what is still available:
Tank with Stand
Little Giant Pump
DIY protein skimmer (so big it has small moons orbiting it)

OK, I have been slacking for a long time now on taking pictures! Sorry to those who asked, I've been overly busy with work and life. The tank and pump are still for sale.

Here are pictures of the tank. As I said before the tank is in good condition, and only has a few small scratches. The scratches are nearly invisible when the tank is stocked, but I have taken pictures of the ones I could find so you can see for yourself.

The tank is cleaned, but there are some small cloudy spots that I missed while cleaning it, and I don't feel like cleaning it any more You can just scrape them with a razor blade.

David, what all is still available?

[traip93]

[davidc]

Everything is gone except the Little Giant. I need $50 cash for it.
