For Sale: 58 Gallon Complete Setup: 12 Gallon Nano-Cube Deluxe Complete Setup

[Turtle77]

Ok with much thought and a whole lot of regret looks like I am going to have to get out of the hobby. I just can’t afford it no matter how much I try to convince myself that I can. I have been laid off since August and unemployment just doesn’t pay enough to make a difference. I have scrimped and saved and very slowly put together this setup where I could fit it in the budget but there just is nothing left that I can afford to sacrifice to keep it going. I am so sad but there comes a point where I have to make a decision, car and house payment or fish and frogs? I hate to do it but I know a lot of you have helped with so much advice and instructions and I appreciate it so much. I am selling all of my setups complete with whatever is currently in the tanks and all my supplies. At first I would prefer not to break anything up because I don’t want to have to try and sell separate parts. All setups are cash only and you pickup.

58 Gallon Reef Ready Oceanic Setup $500
Oceanic 58 Gallon Reef Ready Tank with Stand that I have sanded, primed and painted white. Tank has been cycled and is ready to go. 50-70 lbs of Live Rock
30 Gallon refugium with a return pump.. Coralife Super Skimmer for up to 250 Gallon tank that works great and comes with pump. 1 250 watt Metal Halide and 2 x 75 Watt Actinic in a retro kit that I have screwed into a shelf that sits on top of the canopy stand. Wavemaker system with Power heads which are a littler older and the suction cups don’t work on them anymore. But the Wavemaker works great. Very large set of Test Kits. Various dry goods and extras.
I recently made a purchase for a cleaning crew for the tank and they have been doing a great job. I purchased the following but have not been able to count if I have lost any in acclimation.
Golden Astreas 50
Ceriths 12
Nassarius Vibex 25
Blue Legged Hermit 24
Emerald Crab 2
Peppermint Shrimp 4 ( I may have lost one of these but I have been able to count three at one time in the tank as of yesterday.)
There are currently no fish because I have not gotten that far with the setup yet but it is literally ready for fish. I have a small little rock with a couple of Zoas on it and another small rock with a large branch of Pulsing Xenia. There is also a bed of crushed coral on the bottom. There is also a 5 gallon bucket of saltwater mix that I have only taken enough out of to fill the tank the first time. If you want to save the water because it is cycled and ready to go you may want to bring a few jugs, because I only have two or three. I have a very large tub for the rocks and sand as well. Not sure how easy it will be to get the clean up crew out, that might take some doing. I can help break it down and I will do what I can to help you load it but I cannot load or break down by myself. Currently not breaking up the set.





12 Gallon Nano-Cube Deluxe Complete Setup $300
I bought this Nano-Cube Deluxe and Stand from the Critter just a few months ago and moved everything that I had in an older 12 gallon over to it and its doing great. It has the straight stand with the storage in it and not the curvy one. The tank is home to a beautiful very hardy Clown that has lived in this tank and the previous tank for I believe 3 years. She has been through several owners, some of which did not take very good care of her and she still survived. But she is VERY territorial and will not accept another fish in the tank. She doesn’t even like for you to move the furniture in the tank around because she will just knock it over or push it back. She currently hosts a large 4 head piece of Frogspawn that is green with rose ends. The tank is also home to several very large branches of Pulsing Xenia that have been moving around the tank lately. There are a few little rocks with some Zoas of different types and a large piece of GSP? I think its called. Looks like grass when its all extended. There is about 10-12 lbs of live rock that is doing great and getting a lot of purple on it, several snails and crabs. There use to be a peppermint shrimp in there but I have not seen him for a long time. I am assuming he is gone. This setup has all the original lighting and setup on it and I have not done any changing or modifying to it. There will be a bag of saltwater mix and a few various testing kits but some are not complete and a few other various supplies. It will also come with the food for the Clown. Currently not breaking up the setup.
