OK, this really pains me to do this, but....I might have to breakdown the tank.

Long story: My wife loaned her aunt 10K, with the understanding that when we returned home from Philippines last month, the money would be returned. Her aunt hasn't returned the money; rather, she's been stalling and delivering various excuses over the last 3 weeks. Well...we are screwed and in need of money. I'm posting the feeler up now, because I know it takes time to sell items, and if I do need to follow through with a full-on breakdown, I want everything pending by next week, which would be the absolute latest I could wait before going through with this.

A few people here know what fish I have; they will NOT be sold. Rather, I will give them to some members here who I have developed a friendship with, and, quite frankly, who I trust to take care of the fish.

Again, this is just a feeler, in the event that her aunt comes to her senses and gives us the money she owes my wife.

Cadlights 60 x 30 x 18 with stand: 400. Starfire; not a perfect tank, but i've learned to live with it. Some scratches on front pane, 1 chip on side. Ghetto return/drain plumbing and DC6000 included.

AA sump 48 x 22 x 18 2 chambers: return and drain/skimmer section: 250. Paid 450; only 2 months old
Acrylic ATO reservoir: 20 x 20 x 8: 80 with pump and tubing

***Take tank/stand/sump and reactors for 750

MP60: 350
MP40wes: 250
MP40 nonwireless: 150
Apex with return PH probe and temp probe, BOB and 2 floats: 400
**ALL** the live rock and whatever corals that are attached/glued to it: 200
7 various sized BTAs: 250 for all 7
I have some clams: 50 each; 3 total.
Aquamaxx ConeS CO3: 300. This thing pulls serious crap. It's the kind of crap my wife's auntie is pulling on us, too.

Radion Gen 2: 350
Radion Gen 3: 400
T5 retrofit w/ icecap ballast and 4 bulbs: 100
**take all 3 radions and T5s within a 48" fixture for 1100


**OR take it all for 2500.**


AGAIN, feeler for now. I'm hoping and praying that this won't be necessary, but in the event it does become a reality, i don't want to be holding onto anything for much longer than needed. Again, fish will NOT be sold- they're going to reefers whom I know personally.

(mods don't delete; i'm posting the thread first and then photos next)

That really sucks. Lending $ to family is always a tough deal, been there.

I'll take the Gen3 if you end up going that route.

Hope you get your money soon man, I know how it feels to trust someone with a larger amount of money only to find out that you will not be getting it by the date they promised. Good luck john
