Appreciate the knowledge!  Thanks @mhart032!

@mhart032 why?  What's the deal w/ that stuff? Never seen it before.

Thanks HarleyGuy - I think I'll have plenty, but I'm a bit aways from that right now.  Will keep in mind!

Wow, have you identified what worms they are?

Someone posted on #AskBRStv about a worm they caught, and then the trap used to catch it, and the description matches 100%.  Specifically, the mucous around dead critters the worm was eating.

@don duncan OP is updated and accurate.  Anything not listed as SOLD is still available.

Love the blue/green anemones right next to each other!

I like that the stand is wider than the tank.

Something I think about often when designing my dream tank of the future in my head.  Not only does it give you more room underneath, but it's just SO DANG HELPFUL to be able to put things down RIGHT THERE when fiddling w/ the tank.

What material is the top layer, John?  My unsolicited advice would be to go price out a slab of granite/quartz/whatever at the local shop - that size piece could easily be found as the scrap from someone else's dream kitchen and be had for cheap (I have a ton of friends in that biz).  Something that looks really nice and can't be messed up by saltwater.

How much for a pack w 1 of each 

Depends on which ones you pick.  Each variety has different price points for different size frags.  You could get the smallest of one and the biggest of another - whichever you want!

CLOSED OUT -  Have another thread w/ updated livestock.

**  UPDATED HERE  **  leaving the originals up because I think the pics look better.  Just updated my lighting and I think there's too much blue for good pics?  I dunno, but they don't look great!

Selling off the majority of my corals and starting over.  Buy a frag pack of 4 different frags and get $10 off total.  I'll want to keep at least a frag of all these, so I'll update as quickly as possible.

Pick up in Westlake, near the Lake Austin Marina. Work from home most days, so can potentially be available 8am-9pm.  Paypal to hold, otherwise first to pay/pick up.  PM for address/PayPal. 

Urchins $10 each - 1sm black, 1lg black, 1sm pink

SOLD: both smalls - 1lg black still available

Cinnamon Grandis Palys ABC $5, D $10, EFG $20 (4-6heads), I $30 (10 heads)

SOLD: H

Metallic Green and Blue Shrooms AB $10, E $5, F $10, HK $20 (~10+)

SOLD: D, I, C, J

Bucket o' loose shrooms  $40 (there's probably 8 or 10 in there?  couple of big meaty ones.  I'll grab a couple of other loose ones from the QT tank too if you want)

Superman Shrooms DE $10 (1ea) , BC $20 (2 shrooms)

SOLD A

Rainbow Ricordea $20/head     6 singles $20ea, 2 doubles $40ea, 1 triple $60

Nice build!  Following along...

Glad we could finally get our schedules to match up @August!  Happy he's gone to a good home!

@mFrame noted.

Here are all 4 in the QT tank

@August he's available, just shoot me a DM and we'll figure out a time for pickup.

There are some straight up blue shrooms, and some green metallic ones.  I'll put together a for sale post as soon as I get a chance.  Here's the one for the fish:  

All but the angel:

Starry Blenny:

Neon Dottyback:

Pick up in Westlake, near the Lake Austin Marina. Work from home most days, so can potentially be available 8am-9pm.  Paypal to hold, otherwise first to pay/pick up.  PM for address/PayPal.

Doing a complete reboot on the tank and going to swap out all the fish as well.  Going smaller overall.  All have been plucked from the display and are in the QT tank, ready for rehome.  All were QT'd w/ prazipro and paraguard, after going through tank transfer every 3 days for 3 weeks.  All but the Coral Beauty (9ish months) have bee in for well over a year, and closer to two. Fat and happy!  Will get pics up ASAP, but they look just like what they are.

SOLD  $100 Black Cap Basslet, 4.5"+  He was the Alpha of this tank, but not a bully at all.  Will scavenge ALL your rubble to build himself a lair, and is fairly territorial vs a turkey baster, magnet or your hand, especially around that lair.  90gal and up, imo.  Beautiful, FAT fish! #thicc

edit:  I have had a couple of DMs about the price on this guy, and here's where I'm coming from w/ the $100:  They are $90 from LiveAquaria, before shipping and without QT.  This guy is the biggest one I've ever seen, has been through QT and in a healthy tank (for fish, at least! and apparently algae...) for ~18 months now - he's a proven entity at this point.  This is as close to a no-risk purchase as you're ever going to make for marine livestock.

SOLD $30 Neon Dottyback, 3.5"+ Had him for sale a while back and when the buyer and I couldn't sync schedules, I let him go back into the display.  One guy has tentative dibs already - I need to PM him.  Will bully similar shape/color fish (terrorized a Naoko Wrasse that I had to evacuate), but has been very well behaved in our current setup for 6 months (since I originally listed him).  Would go 90+ and with larger/more aggressive fish.

SOLD $30  Coral Beauty Angel, 3"+  Juvenile, little on the darker side.  Eats great, doesn't even pay attention to the other fish.

SOLS  $30 Starry Blenny, 4.5"+ Big, mature, Blenny.  Not a big algae eater, very chill guy.  Mostly perches and watches.

Long time coming, but finally got the tank broken down for a reboot. Will have frags and fish up for sale shortly. Going to re-scape and set up softie, w/ an anemone front and center.

Sea Hares are awesome, but they need algae to live.  They are pretty good at wiping it out, and once it's gone, it's best to re-home them.

How do you get them to stay?  I've had 2 and 1 never stuck anywhere, just blew around the tank til he died; the other rooted in a bad spot and lived a sad shriveled life for a year or so, then died.
