Getting out of the hobby - pick up in Astoria

RonsterNYC · 06-02-2008, 11:25 AM

After much consideration, I am getting out of the hobby. It’s been a toss up for the past year - between traveling and juggling two homes, I need to take a break for a bit.

Livestock:
Blonde Naso Tang – 5.5” - $80
Sohal Tang – 5.5” – pending sale to nyfireman3097
Bristletooth Tomini Tang – 4.5” - $50
Powder Blue Tang – 3.5” - $55
Scopas Tang – 3.5” - $45
Red Sea Regal Angel – 5.5” - $125
Goldflake Angel – 5” - $250
Flame Angel - $50
Flaterflex Pseudochromis – 3.5” - $35
Bangai Cardinal – adult female – 3.5” - $25
Bangai Cardinal – babies – 0.5” (6 of them) - $50 for all six or $10 bucks each
Two Serpent Start Fishes - $25 each
Blue Linkia Starfish - $25
Lots of hermit crabs & snails – make me an offer for all of them
2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimps – $25 each or both for $45

Corals:
Lots of across – not sure of all of the names
Lots of polyps – starburst & clove
Some muchrooms (purples, reds, stiped, & neon green)
Montis – orange, red digi, green purple rim cap, and purple digi.
Note: I didn’t price the corals. Make me an offer (I am not looking to sell for dirt cheap).

140lbs of live rock – most of it has a piece of coral attached - $3.99 per pound

Equipment:
120g Oceanic RR tank & Stand – 5 years old - $450
Aquamedic Ocean T-Combo (2 250 DE MH & 2 54W 48” T-5’s) – 2.5 years old - $400 – will include lights that are 6 months old. The light needs a new clip to hold one end of the MH on the right side. Aquamedic sells the clips for $10 bucks and they claim is very easy to install.

I am looking to have all the fish go to an experienced reef hobbyist – the naso tang should go to someone with a big tank. All of the fish are healty and eating. The regal loves pellets and some times it eats frozen and sometimes it doesn’t, but always eats pellets.

The order I am looking to sell is as follows: first rocks and corals, then fish, and last equipment. Will post updated pics this week, but some are in my gallery.

Please bring your own containers

By the way, not holding anything - You want it you come pick it up...first come first served. Thanks for looking!!

You may see a pic of these in the gallery, but in either case I will post some shortly. Clove - 35 bucks, purple digi 55, and red digi - 85 - purple is amazing color and decent size about the size of a golf ball and red digi...it's about 5x6.

We do prefer prices being listed because it makes it fair for everyone. It prevents you from going back and forth with low ballers and it avoids the whole auction thing.

Good luck with the sale, and sorry to see you leaving the hobby.

Powder Blue pending on a little info. please!

How long have you had it? Would you consider it to be very aggressive? When will it be available? And a pic would be helpfull.
