I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with my 2 large tanks. Therefor I have decided to try, and sell the "FOWLR". "FOWLR" in quotations due to the fact that there is more then live rocks, and fish in this tank.

Fish at the moment:
Large Desjardini Sailfin tang with HALLE scars.
2 clarkii clownfish
2 Pink Skunk clownfish
Snowflake Eel
Zebra Eel
Lg. Six line wrasse

Inverts
Purple Long Tentacle Anemone
Lg. RBTA
Med. GBTA
Small bleached GBTA
Elegance anemone
Hermits & snails
Serpent starfish

Corals
Small tan toadstool
Small capenellas
Cabbage
tons of polyps
Red shrooms
small pink pompom xenia

6' - 120 gallon drilled for both drain & return.
Iron stand
20 gallon long glass sump
Eheim 1260 return pump
Turboflotor Multi 1000 skimmer w/oceanrunner pump, it comes with the bubble trap.
2 - 250 heaters with ranco controller
3 X 175 watt SE MH + 2 X 140 VHO light fixture (pretty old, but in great working condition) Both ballast are external. No on off switch. I run them on timers, and all is well.
2 140 watt VHO new 1 Super Actinic 1 White
Timers come with!
2 Maxijet ph

The tank does have scratches on both the front glass, and side glass. They were there when I bought it, but I didn't realize it at the time of purchase. From what I understand these can be buffed out.

Price $600 for everything, lr, fish, corals, sand (mixture of Southdown & esv), tank, stand, sump, light fixture, protein skimmer, return pump, plumbing, 2 glass versa tops - 1 eggcrate, megafloat, heaters, ranco controller, make shift canopy without doors.

Disclosure:
This tank was treated with one dose of "CopperSafe" approximately 2 years ago. Followed by tons of activitated carbon, and cuprisorb. Inverts in the tank have been in there for about a year now without problems.

Thanks guys!

Tommy, thanks! I wish your basement was finished also.;)

BTW, a few people have asked for the animals in the tank!

Sorry, not selling the animals without the tank.:) If someone wants the system without the animals, then the animals will be up for sale. But as of now, no animals are for sale.
Nor am I parting out.

Pics I was asked for:
First pic is of the last baffle before the return that I accidentally cracked, and never got around to fixing (lazy). It worked fine so I left it. Easily fixed by either replacing it, or putting some aquarium safe silicone caulking.

INNEED, I am not selling you my tank, and animals!

Why? Because I care for my animals, and I don't feel that you are prepared to care for them as they need to be cared for. I fear that they will all be dead within the week in your care.

The anemonies alone are delicate creatures, and I do not believe you have gotten the knowledge to give them the proper care.

My decision to sell the system along with the inhabitants was not an easy decision for me to begin with. I did after much pondering decide to sell because as I stated in the begining of my thread I am no longer able to give so many animals the care they deserve.

With that said if you can demonstrate to me, and this board that you are ready, and able to care for them I may reconsider.:)

But just so you know there are other people interested that I feel are better prepared, and quite frankly if it comes to selling them knowing that they may die I will keep the tank.

Hope this does not come off to harsh!:)

INNEED, to be honest with you I really don't believe you are trully what you claim to be, or have. I think you are just here on MR having some fun with our members.
Of course I can be absolutely, and totally wrong!

Thing is you will have to first, and for most prove to the skeptic in me that I am wrong on both counts.
1. That you would actually be able to care for these animals as they are accustomed to, or even better.:)
2. That you are infact not playing around with us.lol
Answer me this in detail:
How do you plan to move the animals?
How do you plan on keeping them alife while you move, and set up the tank at your place?

You asked how I took/take care of the tank.

1. Daily feedings consisting of: Mysis shrimp, Frozen cubes of Formula 1 & 2(alternating between the 2), Nori sheets, Frozen silversides (alternating with) Frozen Fresh Prawns, Rod's Food, from the fish market - fresh shrimp, clam, squid, fish. All of this food is defrosted rinsed 2 to 3 times drained through a brine shrimp net, then it is all placed in a pint size plastic bowl, and soaked in VitaChem, Selcon, Vitamin C, and Garlic Extreme for at the minimum of 5 minutes. After all of that tank water is added to the mixture for another 5 or so minutes.
Although there are clown fish in the tank, I will feed the anemonies directly before the rest of the fish & eels. I do this in order to be certain that the anemonies have all gotten some of the food.
I do weekly 20% water changes with RO/DI water, and Instant Ocean salt.

BTW, there is nothing wrong with being new to anything including this hobby/addiction as long as we are willing to listen, and learn from those with more experience.
In this hobby/addiction is best to go VERY SLOW as there are living animals that depend on our knowledge in there care for their lifes.
