Ok guys... Some of you have know me for while, most not. Thinking about tearing down all the tanks. Just getting tired of dealing with all the issues... salt creep, water leaks, cyno, slime, cost, time, etc... Been thinking about this for some time now and getting even closer to doing it.
I'll be keeping my 125g display tank and stand for the red-eared slider when it gets bigger.
A list of items to get rid of:
75g tank currently used as sump w/electric ATO.
2 36" 4-bulb t5 nova extreme lights, with moon LED and parabolic reflector.
Skimmers: 1 Aqua C remora, 1 Octopus 200 recirc(I think)
2 HOB overflows, both dual u-tube w/dual 1"? drains w/ aqualifter pumps and filters. Excellent overflows! NEVER broke syphon even after 3 days of no power.
Assorted maxi-jet powerheads mostly 1200s a couple 900 (2 still in box)
1 150 gpd RO/DI 4-stage with newer membrane, 3 additional DI stages, digital in/out inline TDS meter, remaining DI resin and enough line and fittings to hang youself with.
2-40gal rubbermaid trashcans with lids and wheels and plumbed ATO float valves.
Livestock:
LTA w/hosted skunk clown, will not separate
2 ocellarus clowns, mated, will not separate.
lg Yellow Tang
sm six-line wrasse
2 grn chromis, will not separate
Extremely lg CB shrimp.
peppermint shrimp
sm queen conch
2 lg brittle stars
assorted hermits and snails
lg plate fungia
md plate fungia
lg coco worm
coco worm rock, also contains sm maxima? clam and possibly sm mantis shrimp
md to lg Squamossa clam
lg orange monti, can be easily fragged into about 6 or 7.
sm established orange monti
fuzzy acro
purple acro
a piece of mushroom rock w/white sponges (not pineapple) and a jumbo type of zoa and clove xenia.
very lg devils hand that can easily be fragged into 3.
frogspawn
There's probably more but that's all I can think of right now. I can meet anyone within an hour of Louisville, Ky for livestock and possibly a couple hours away for equipment. Not willing to pay to ship.
Like I said, I'm still only seriously considering it... not definate yet.
