Going to use Google sheets to keep everything organized.  Still have a bunch more stuff coming as I break down the actual tank, and I'll update this thread as I add to it.

bump for price reduction

Looking good John!  So clean!

Thanks Mike!

*** STILL AVAILABLE!!  PLEASE TAKE THESE!!  ***

Random zoa.  I can't remember what this is, but it's supposed to be a nicer one.  It didn't do well in transition, so I didn't want to sell it w/ the group above (it hadn't even opened at that point), but I didn't want to throw it away either.  Looks pretty happy now, if very lonely....

Free w/ purchase of anything else!

Candy Apple Palys - Free w/ purchase of anything else

*** STILL AVAILABLE!!  PLEASE BUY THESE!!  ***

$5  Cinnamon Palys Grandis - 3 heads
$5 Metallic Green Mushroom - there are actually 3 shrooms on this, there is a smaller one on the backside, which is why the visible one is standing up like that.

** SOLD **

$20 Nuclear Green Paly  12-15 heads  (1 piece, pics just of different angles)

*** STILL AVAILABLE!!  PLEASE BUY THESE!!  ***

Rainbow Ricordea - updated!

$15 - still a single mouth
$20 - biggest one, and in the process of splitting - should be 2 distinct mouths w/i the week
$20 - has already split into 2 mouths
$5 - baby, or free w/ $20 purchase

*** STILL AVAILABLE!!  PLEASE BUY THIS!!  ***

Deer Cowrie (thanks Mike!) - about the size of a large walnut.  $10  *buy him and I'll throw in the 2" fighting conch I forgot to take pics of....

Recently found out he does like Zoas, but there's nothing else for him to eat right now w/ no fish and limited feeding, so that may not be an issue in an established tank.  Beautiful shell, and when he's out searching for food, his "foot" comes out and covers his whole shell w/ little spikes up - you can see a bit in one pic.  Mostly stays in the sand and comes out at night.

 

moving to another thread: $100  40lbs Dry Pukani Rock
 

 **  SOLD **  $20 urchin 
Best Urchin I've ever had, and had him for about 3 years now?  Beautiful pink and white color.  Eats like a champ.  Does like to wear loose frags as hats.
 

*** STILL AVAILABLE!!  PLEASE BUY THIS!!  ***

Live Rock w/ Metallic Green Mushrooms / GSP

These don't look awesome because they've been in the QT (no meds, just isolation) w/ the fish I've been selling, and there's no light on the tank.  Update:  Been back in the DT for a week and coloring up nicely.  GSP should be back to full flow in a week or two!

$30 rock ~25 shrooms  has a superman shroom on the lower right (can see it in the vid)
$40 rock ~30 shrooms  this is a really cool rock shape and was one I built around
$20 rock GSP  has a couple of shrooms on the backside
 

*** SOLD ***  $150  Frag Pack - selling all together, will not do individuals.

Note:  I'm not a zoa expert, so if some of these are not identified correctly, mea culpa.  I'm not trying to screw anyone over, I'm just relaying what was told to me when I purchased them.  Some pics taken after the lights went out and the blue night LED was on.

14 frags, and 13 of them are happy and healthy as far as I can tell.  One is a little grumpy, but don't know that there is anything actually wrong with it (E)

A)  Candy Apple Paly 10+ heads
B)  Fruit Loops 6-8 heads
C)  Nuclear Green Palys ~15 heads
D)  Nirvana  3 heads
E)  King Midas  4 heads
F)  Green People Eaters 6-8 heads
G)  Fire and Ice  5 heads
H)  Bob Marley/Reverse Space Monster mix - not sure which is which, 2 big heads, 3 small heads
I)   Pandora 5 heads
J)  Pink Hippo  3 heads
K)  Radioactive
L)  Watermelon  7/8 heads 
M) Purple Paly 20+ heads
N)  Blue Bam Bam 3 heads

*** SOLD *** SOLD *** SOLD ***  all gone folks!

Edit/Update 6/9:  I'm ready to break this tank down, so I have lowered all the prices.  $100 if you come and take EVERYTHING.

Selling as I was going to rebuild my tank, but my sump is leaking again, and the time/money to replace and replumb on top of restocking is too much right now.

Some of the pics are color edited, but only because I can't get the original pic close enough to true.  Some of the stuff in the vid is already spoken for, so if you don't see it listed individually, it's not available (toadstool, ricordea rock, fuzzy blue shroom and candy apple paly rock).

Live in Westlake near Lake Austin Marina - you can either pick up at my house (some you will have to - the live rock), or I can meet you at the CVS on Lake Austin Blvd and I can place your stuff in a basket on the hood of my car and you can pick it up with no contact.  That process has worked very well.  

PayPal to hold, first come, first served.  *** Send Friends and Family  ***  If you don't, I have to eat the fees!!

Well sportsfans, all good things must come to an end.  At a crossroads in terms of time and money vs desired results and made the tough decision to shut it down.  Once I get everything sold off and broken down, it will be the 1st time in over 20 years that I don't have an aquarium running.  

Keep an eye out in the classifieds for frags, live rock, dry rock, live sand, dry sand, salt, hardware, etc.   

Thanks for all your help along the way - I certainly couldn't have done any of this without y'all sharing the knowledge and love of this hobby.  

I was already impressed by the clean plumbing, but that control cabinet!! 😍  😍  😍 

Thanks to everyone who has purchased so far!  Here's what's left....

1 large urchin $10 - SOLD

Rainbow Ricordea   $20 for single shrooms - 4 left

Candy Apple Palys   $10 (3 heads), $15 (6/7 heads), $20 (8-10 heads)

Cinnamon Grandis Palys  $25 (10 heads), $15 (4-6 heads), $10 (3 heads), $5 (1 head)

Superman Shrooms $5 per shroom - SOLD OUT

Metallic Green Shrooms $10 ea - 1 left   (blues all gone!)

5 wrasses seems like a lot for a 55gal.  If it were my tank and those were my fish choices, I'd go with this lineup:

1 McCosker's Flasher Wrasse 
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse 
1 Pink Spotted Goby 
2 Clowns - don't get maroons 
1 Purple Fire Fish
1 Royal Gramma 

That's 7 fish to start, and you can add from there over time if you still want more.  Plus, they're all pretty peaceful.

Don't disagree w/ Tim on the Firefish / Royal Gramma comments either, so dropping the PFF and adding a RG or 2 would work too.  I've never had luck with firefish though, and maybe it's because I've always had active fish.

I have no expertise to offer, just here for the pics!  Good luck w/ the whole project!

So you put your new prized fish directly into your display w/ no quarantine???  Or did that happen before the announcement?
