Decom - southpaw23's 5.5Ft Tank

[southpaw23]

Hi folks,

It's been years since i've been on the forum. Quite surprised to still find my old thread in the members section. Here's the link:

Well, the tank doesn't look anything like the last picture . Over the last 5 years, the tank pretty much has turned to a FOWLR due to the easier maintenance.

Unfortunately, we have recently sold our place and looking to rent for a bit while we search for our new place. That said, the tank needs to be decommissioned. So i'm looking for a new home for some of my remaining fishes, who've been with me for this whole time (more than 5 years). They are:

1. Red Sea Sailfin Tang - x-tra large and will need an owner with at least a 5ft tank house it.

2. Blue Tang - also a big guy, more than 7 inches

3. Purple Tang

4. Convict Tang

5. Foxface - not the yellow ones. This one is white with black and yellow markings.

6. Chromis x 2

7. Live Rock - Lots of nicely shaped and matured liverock at that. I dont recall how many kgs. Should be about 100.

For an idea of the liverocks, please check out my setup thread in the link above.

I also have some equipment that needs to be sold. Off the bat, the list goes as follows:

1. Deltec AP701 - working perfectly after 5 years

2. Red Dragon 12m3 - still working perfectly after 5 years

3. Starmex Chiller System with copper tubing

4. WavySea x 2 - Unfortunately, the power adapters dont work so someone will have to get new adapters to make it work

5. Tunze Wavemaker - Needs to be fixed. Haven't been using it for 2 years but it's still in the tank

6. Dr Evil T5 fixture (6 tubes). It's pretty old and tubes will need to be replaced but it's still working fine.

7. 5.5 Ft tank by Geo Aquatic (Phil)

Here is more info on the Red Dragon pump. It's an amazing pump, silent and very power efficient.

As for the Starmex, i believe it's running off a Mitsubishi 1Hp compressor

There's probably miscelaneous stuff that needs to be let go as well but since this whole decommissioning is going to be a mess, I'm trying to minimize the chaos and take interest from forum members on what they are keen on first. I'll list them on the thread for the sake of transparency and am open to taking backups in the event the first person backs out. For those buying more stuff, i'll throw in freebis as well i suppose.

I will organize one or two days over a weekend (before the 20th of March) to offload most if not everything. But the priority will be set as follows:

1. Need to organize buyers of the Live Rock first! Once Liverock is removed, we can catch the fishes.

2. Fishes will be handed off on the same day so all those who were interested in the fishes will need to swing by to pick up then as well.

3. I'll need a day or so to drain the tank and start removing the equipment, then the folks interested in those can pick up accordingly.

So with that said, here are the list (with pricing) based on priority

1. Live Rocks - $200 (for the whole lot)

2. Red Sea Sailfin - $50

3. Blue Tang - $30

4. Purple Tang - $30

5. Convict Tang - $20

6. Foxface - $20

7. Chromis - FOC

8. Dr Evil T5 Fixture - $100

9. Tunze WaveMaker - $50 (Since it's faulty)

10. Deltec AP701 - $500

11. Red Dragon 12m3 - $600

12. Starmex Chiller - $500

13. WavySea x 2 - $50

14. 5.5 Ft Tank - Make an offer but note that you'll have to arrange your own logistics to remove and move it. Else I'll just scrap it.

Either reply with your interest on this thread or via PM. I'll update the thread as we go along. Feel free to raise any question you may have as well. You should find some answers to your questions in my setup thread.

cheers!

Slight correction up top. It should be the Tunze Wavebox and not Wavemaker.

KELVINx3 - pm repled.

Folks, my priority at this point is really finding someone to take over the Liverocks. Then fishes. Without these 2 items addressed, i wont be able to move forward with the equipment dismantling and sale.

Thanks!

Forgot to add that all fishes have been feeding on pellets for the past 5 years.

One more thing to add. Those collecting fishes and rocks, please organise for your own container and bags when you come by. Note that some of the fishes are quite large and may not just fit in regular bags. You may need buckets etc.

I also do not have oxygen pumps so please be mindful of this when swinging by. Thanks!
