Getting out of hobby, selling livestock now

Recommended Posts

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

Hey checking to see what is left in your tank? My husband likes that Kole Tang please give me a little information about him. As for a report the blenny is great, he has so much personality. The goby I have only seen once but he is doing well. I hope he is eating since I never see him I can't say for sure.

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.

I am going to start selling my Tonga Branch rock now. I will be home all day Saturday so call me if you want to come by and take a look at the tank. LR will sell for $3/lb and it has all been in this tank for ~3yrs. Plenty of good coralline growth and zoos/shrooms/sponges

I sold ~50# of tonga today...still plenty of Marshall Island and I have a really nice ~30-40# piece of rock with lots of different shrooms/zoos. Would be a perfect show piece for smaller tank

everything is negotiable at this point...if you want something make me an offer!
