--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to work and life I'm taking down my 150 gallon mixed reef. I'm located in Santa Barbara, CA and there is no shipping. All sales will have to be picked up or I travel frequently to Long Beach and can meet a buyer anywhere along the way with payment in advance.

For pictures shoot me an email at jcw.watson@gmail.com

Here's what I have:

Coral:Green Plate coral (oval shaped about 6x4): $30
Pink & purple Lobo (4-5 heads): $30
Green maze/brain coral (dome shaped, about 5, some damage on one of the sides after falling over and sitting the sand when I went awat for the weekend): $45
Christmas favia ( frag): $20
Jedi mind trick ( frag): $20
Montipora undata ( frag): $20
Purple/blue chalice with pink eyes (at least 15 eyes, some damage in one of the corners from getting stung by the lobo): $70
About 100-150 pounds of live rock: $3/pound
About 50 -75 pouinds of dry rock: $1.50/pound
Multiple colonies of frogspawn: $10/head
*Ponape birdsnest (around 6, multiple branches): $40
Green slimmer (about 6, new branches forming): $25

Inverts:*Long tentacle anemone (about 10-12 when fully open, was previously hosted by a pair of gold striped maroon clownfish): $20
Pincushion urchin (white & black spines, about 3): $15
Sand sifting starfish: $15

*the birdnest and the anemone are currently attached to the same rock. The birdnest could be cut pretty easily at the base however the anemone will be more difficult and the buyer may need to just take the whole rock its attached to.

Can you post a few more times please? 20 meaningful posts are required to sell on the site. If you can take a few minutes to help out around here we will let the thread remain. Good luck sounds like a nice tank.

This is why I love this site:) you don't just ban someone for posting something for sale too early:) At least you give the person a fair warning, on the other site no warning at all Thank you!

I'll also give praise for not banning them. Instead you tell them how to rectify their err. That other site would ban them. Then when asked why they were banned. They'd be banned for life for asking. What a lousy site that is.

Why don't we have a script to check for this? A member can only start new thread under "for sale" section if he/she has > 20 posts. However, I have seen people trying to sell by replying to the new thread, so the mod has to go give warnings to these guys :)

Sorry, didn't know about the minimum post requirement. I've just made a few more posts in Lights & Equipment to get that count up. I appreciate you letting the thread stay open.

When are you coming down?
Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you with a date, I was waiting to get my plans finalized. Looks like I will be coming down this weekend on Saturday afternoon.

Good news is I have to go to Fountain Valley for something so we can meet there if you'd like which should be alot closer than LB coming from Tustin. It's been a while since I've been in the area (FV), but I know Tong's was a pretty good lfs if you'd like to meet up there. Shoot me a PM and let me know what works best for you.

Bump.

I still have a lot of livestock available and will accept any reasonable offers.

I'll be driving from Santa Barbara to Fountain Valley this Saturday afternoon and can meet anywhere along the way (provided it's within a few miles of the 101 or 405).
