I have a used Pacific Coast Imports C-1000 220V chiller for sale. I had this on my 300gal system for ~3years and it is in great shape. I sized up on my chiller 'cause I knew my 1200W of Metal Halide lighting would be hard to deal with in the hot Texas summers.

I am selling it for $600 obo

Manuf details: C-1000 220V

All livestock has been sold, thanks to all. To all that are interested in the tank and parts. I'll have that post up once I get everything cleaned up.

I have some Tonga rock rubble left that I'm keeping in a 10gal tank right now...Still have ~4 scarlet hermits, ~3 blue legs, and a few small nassarius snails in there with some good yellow/peach colored sponges. It's all only $10 for the first person to come get it.

Thanks to everyone in helping me get these fish sent off to good homes. As of now all fish have been sold. All that remains in the tank are a few pieces of rock and some zoo colonies. The rocks I have left are Tonga branch and would be perfect for nano tanks. I'm selling this stuff dirt cheap so if you have a nano give me a call quick.

I think I have replied to all the PMs up to this point. I plan on emptying the tank this weekend and I will keep the rest of the rock in a small 30gal unless someone comes to pick it up. I will be around all weekend so call my cell if you would like to swing by and tank a look. 512.791.9497

I will spend the rest of the weekend draining the system and starting the long process of cleaning the tank. To all that may be interested in the tank, I have put a PPT on the web for you to view.

Follow this link 300 gal Setup

The entire setup has cost me well over $10,000 to setup and I am not planning on anyone coming to my door with that kind of money. I want this tank gone so if you are serious, we can work something out. Trust me someone is going to get a once in a lifetime deal on this setup. If I can't get the entire setup sold, look for a thread as I start to part things out.

glad to see everyone enjoying their new critters/rock

Salt Dreams - glad to hear the Blenny is doing well...he'll be a great fish. the YWG was always a bit reclusive so I'm not surprised he's hiding from you.

All - I'm trying to figure out how to update the original post but I can't do it.

Hello all,

I have decided to get out of salt wafer reefing after many wonderful years. My current tank is a 300gal AGE custom with 4 of 5 sides low iron glass...equipment will be sold after all livestock is gone!

I want to sell the fish first and then deal with the rock. Most of the corals I have left are zoos/rics that are on the live rock so they will likely sell with the piece. All fish have been in the tank >1yr and I have not added anything other than snails to the tank within the last 6 months. They are all super healthy and fat. All of my fish get daily nori feedings as well as mysis, formula one pellets, and krill. The anemones normally got one silverslide/week, but I am out so now I have been giving them squid weekly.

Livestock list:

1 Naso Tang ~7" - $50

1 Kole Tang ~4" - $50

1 Mimic Tang(adult) ~5" - $50

1 Desjardini Sailfin Tang ~6" - $50

1 Klein's Butterfly ~3.5" - $40

2 Flame Hawkfish(act like a pair, but I have not seen them spawn), 1 small, 1 large - $40/ea or $70/pr

2 GSM clownfish(actively spawning pair) - $100

2 small BTAs (free with GSMs) have been bleached for the past few months and I can't figure out the issue, I'm wondering if the carpet is getting too big and killing them off???

****Super Rare****

2 Ocellaris Clownfish(female black/white, male orange/white, actively spawning pair) - $100

1 green stripe carpet anemone - $100 this is the host for my percs

1 Starry Blenny(most popular fish in the tank for some reason) - $10

1 Yellow Watchman goby - $10

2 Blue/Green chromis - $4/ea

1 Purple/Green Crocea Clam - $50

I would like to wait for most of the livestock to be spoken for before catching/selling them. I don't want to stress all the fish out multiple times if I don't need to.

videos of the fish can be seen here

PM ed you

fish is spoken for, thanks

im interested. How reef safe is he.

depends on your definition of reef safe. the fish does not nip at corals/anemones/etc..., but he will attack small snails/hermits. Like I said in the original post, the reason I am getting rid of him is that I don't want the fish harassing my mandarins. My larger Flame Hawk(have a pair) puts him in his place, but the mandarins are always getting nipped at by the wrasse.

hope that tells you what you need to know...BTW the fish will eat any type of food you put in the tank, literally

I have had this Christmas wrasse ~1yr and he is in perfect health. This guy can pick small snails and hermit crabs apart in seconds. He will not bother larger snails/hermits/shrimp. He has lately started really harassing my pair of green mandarins and I do not want to stress those fish out.

I had planned on taking him to the LFS, but I figured I would prefer giving him away for free to a local reefer. If you want him he is yours, I would prefer someone to pick him up in the next 48hrs as I have him in a small holding pen. On Tuesday I will probably just take him to the LFS and get whatever I can for him.

This fish and I have been going at it for a few months now and I did a happy dance when I knew I had him

pic of the capture, totally safe

pic of fish in trap

Here are a couple of pics

I have a Beautiful flame angel for sale or trade. The fish has been in my tank for ~6months. I am starting to add SPS and softies to my 300gal tank and I have noticed the flame nipping at every softie I put in. This means he cannot stay.

I rearranged the tank last night catching him and he is now in the safety of my sump.

I think he is the Christmas Island variant since he seems to have a bit of an orange tone at times. I am asking $30 or a cool SPS frag.

Call Zach at 512-791-9497 or PM me

I am at work now, so I will get a few pics of him on here ~7PM
