  1. I am back from Costa Rica and think that I have returned all PMs. Going to be breaking down tank this weekend when it is picked up, so all items will be ready for pickup then (if they are not already). Feel free to make some offers on any remaining items.

  2. Very interested in the ro/di package if it is still available in a couple weeks

    Someone has already spoken for it, but if that falls through you are next in line.

  3. All livestock is out of the tank. Rock is ready to go. This is mature and safe rock, in various sizes and shapes at a very reasonable price. Would like to move so that I can get the tank to its new owner.

  4. In connection with breaking down and parting out my 240 I have probably in the neighborhood of 200# of live rock. This is well established rock that has been in the system for a number of years, some with mushroom corals attached. Asking $2.50/lb. Will give a 10% discount if someone takes it all.

  5. I have decided to part out my FOWLR tank and leave the hobby for a little while. All the livestock is already spoken for, and the tank/stand/canopy sold before I could even get this post up, but the rest of the equipment still needs homes. I am expecting the livestock to be picked up this week so equipment should be available by the week starting May 20. I will have all items clean, with any manuals, extra parts, extra media upon pickup. Please feel free to send any questions you may have via PM.

    Tank- 240G (8'X2'X2') with two internal overflows. Some minor scratches.

    Sump- ~Approx 75 gallon custom sump with baffles, wet/dry compartments. Is cracked on one corner well above water line

    Matching stained wood stand and canopy. They definitely could use some refinishing and are nothing special. However, they are still servicable.

    Lighting- 12X 54W T5 built into canopy on two separate power supplies. Adjustable LED moon lights. Canopy also has exhaust fans at each side that are effective at keeping temperature stable except on the hottest days.

    $500- SOLD

    System pump- Reeflo Super Dart Gold- $250

    Protein Skimmer- Reeflo Orca 200 w/ Reef Octopus Waste Collector (Auto shutoff)- $500

    Chiller- Current USA 1/3 hp Prime Tower.- $350

    Custom built Kalkwasser Reactor w/ Eheim 1048- $50

    Tunze Osmolator Auto-top off unit- $100

    (2) Midwest Aquatics Sulphur Denitrators w/ Eheim 1048 w/ new media in jugs- $200 ea. or $350 for both

    Aquamedic Ozone Generator 200- $200

    Pan World 50PX-X pump- $75

    Finnex TH Titanium 300W Heater w/ HC 810 Controller- $35

  6. I have had a pair of Crosshatch triggers for four years now. I keep mine in a pair and they seem to like that, and although they do not interact in the same way as a pair of clowns (i.e. they each have their own sleeping spots, roam the tank separately mostly) they definitely have each others back with regards to other fish.

    As far as eating things they are not supposed to: They are in a FOWLR with only a few corals so they have limited rules. They are not aggressive with other fish, even those considerably smaller so that is good. They do not bother corals. They are not good with other inverts (i.e. snails, starfish), and treat them as tasty snacks if they are not careful.

  7. I do not think it is necessary for them to be in a pair. I have seen them both in pairs and individually. It is important to realize that the Crosshatch trigger is very different than a Niger Trigger and other triggers not of the Xanthichthys genus. Triggers in the Xanthichthys genus are primarily planktivores in nature and thus are far less aggressive than many triggers. As a result they are even moderately reef safe. My crosshatches have played nice with all fish in the tank (including clowns, tangs, and formerly a wrasse). In fact, it wasn't until my 12" Goldbar Wrasse passed away earlier this year (five years old) that the male Crosshatch moved to the role of Alpha fish. The wrasse clearly held that role and would sometimes bother the triggers (though usually not for long). Depending on its size, I actually would be more worried about the Niger bothering the Crosshatch.

  8. I have decided to leave the hobby for a while. Between three kids and work there just isn't the time right now. I have lots of offers for individual items already, but want to sell as an entire setup first so please no offers to part out at this time. If I make that decision I will post the livestock and equipment not already spoken for in the appropriate forums.

    240G Glasscages tank w/ wood stand and canopy including all below equipment and livestock, as well as all accessories and chemicals that I have remaining- $4000

    The attached pictures are a little older before we moved to our new house, and hence some of the livestock you see in the pictures are no longer part of the system as I swapped some things out when I moved the tank. I will try to get some updated pictures this weekend.

    If someone is interested who wants to use a credit card we can run the tranaction through Paypal, and I am willing to handle the fees for someone who pays full price. Otherwise cash is always accepted.

    Please contact me via PM and I will be happy to provide you with my cell number if you have any questions.
