  1. Getting out of the hobby.  My loss, your gain.

    This tank has been setup for 3 years and was from a downgrade from a larger system I setup 10 years ago.

    Do not want to part out.  Would like to get rid of everything this weekend.

    All equipment in great condition.

    Innovative Marine 20 gal tank and stand

    Kessil A160WE tuna blue LED with controller

    Tunze variable speed wavemaker

    Tunze ATO

    approx 15 lbs of live rock with another 20 lbs of dry rock still in box

    bulk reef supply 6 stage RO/DI

    numerous testing equipment and miscellaneous equipment.

     

    Tank inhabitants:

    mated pair of clowns

    neon green frilly leather

    2 sherman rose BTA.  I got these from Mickey in Dallas 10 years ago.  These are from the original source for the Sherman RBTA and are the reason I have held on to the tank for so long.

     

    $300 for everything

    $250 if you pick up this weekend.

  2. bump for another Sherman RBTA available.

    These usually go for $90-100.

    I would really like this one gone this weekend so will take $50 for it.

    Great deal on a healthy, beautiful anemone. Over 8" across when opens.

  4. I have another Sherman RBTA for sale. Split over a month ago. Well healed, eating, and probably 6-8 inches across when expanded.

    It is ready to go and in quarintine so would like to get rid of ASAP

    Will reduce normal selling price to $80.

    Thanks

  5. Quality is not expensive, it is priceless.

    I"m swiping that line! Awesome!

    My father in law uses a similar quote:

    "quality it remembered long after the price is forgotten"

    Both quotes apply well to this hobby.....

  6. @ Tim, I think 14K is a healthy medium between look and growth. I had one on my previous light and liked the spectrum. I'm just looking for cheaper alternatives to paying $60+ for a bulb.

    just a suggestion but you might want to rethink the above...

    We all know that this is an expensive hobby...but arguably one of the most important aspects of a reef tank is lighting.

    $60 is high for a light bulb however the average MH lifespan is 12 months. That is only $5 per month...

    There are many ways to save money related to reefkeeping....but for a successful reef tank I think lighting is one area you might want to "splurge" on.

    Just my opinion...

  7. If the anemona is hiding it may be for a good reason. It may be about to split or just need a break. i would leave it be. Mine will retreat to the back of the rock for a few days a month and then return to the front when ready. They will migrate towards the light so if it is staying put in the back then try to shade that area and it should move towards the higher light front area. Once it is in a place that you want it to stay then try to keep light and water currents consistent and feed it a silverside at least weekly..maybe even 2-3 times in a week at first.

  8. I would recommend having someone with saltwater experience check on you tank.

    You can have a neighbor check on it and feed the fish daily but I would recommend a "professional" at least once a week. They can clean the skimmer, do a water change, look for potentional problems, etc.

    I have used Misti with Sea Clearly maintenance (one of the ARC sponsers) and was very pleased. She would also be available if the neighbor noticed something was wrong. Cheap insurance and peace of mind in my opinion.
