Smoq's tank breakdown- corals&chiller, bubble King skimmer and equipment

Hi all!

It's funny, I've had this whole monologue that was in my mind ready to translate into digital ink and now I don't even know where to start....
I've started having some problems with my 100g tank several months ago and I've had literally ZERO time and spare money to correct mistakes I made so at this point in life I just can't justify these costs. I have to lower my electricity bill significantly due to recent rent hike and other factors so with a great pain in my heart I need to call it quits and break down my tank. I still would love to stay active, help at the swaps and take pictures like I used to, I am just not going to have a reef tank for some time. I am going to convert it to a planted discus tank at some point but for now I would like to sell most of my livestock and equipment. The thread is going to be updated as I add more stuff to sell. Before I start, please READ these rules before contacting me, that would save both parties time and nerves:

-I m located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn low 70's and 3rd ave
-I think my prices are are fair so please don't lowball me-I really need cash right now and you will be politely ignored if I receive a obvious lowball offer; I can make a deal if somebody offers to take more things, but generally speaking my prices are firm
-I cannot deliver unless you really interested in larger quantity
-all my fish except clownfish pair did already find a home so please don't inquiry about them
-I am available Monday-Friday after 5pm, I am working in Park Slope area so I can bring things with me to work (although there is no heating where I work so if you'd like livestock I suggest you pick up in the morning)
-the tank&stand, light and Apex stay at this moment, so please don't ask me about it
-thank you for your understanding

Equipment

Bubble King Mini 160 first gen $400

This thing is a monster, period. The best skimmer I've ever had. I am advertising my own sale thread:) Seriously, if you can afford it, get it. It's a German made skimmer with Red Dragon Pump that draws only 18W. I put a new impeller on the thing a year ago and it has been flawless ever since. Here's more info (it's gen 2 but it's very similar): http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/bubble-king-mini-160-internal-protein-skimmer-gen-2.html

Price for new gen 2 almost $1000. I would like to get $400 for it.





Teco SeaChill T20 1/3 HP chiller with new controller. It's a very efficient chiller that is much more silent than other brands in the same category. I could chill down my 100g tank with it no problem. Here's good review http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2006/8/review3 Cost $950, would like to sell for $450



Red Sea Coral Pro Salt 175g mix $40
I did two 15g water changes so you have around 145g mix of salt left. The bucket got beat up badly by UPS so you won't use it for water changes but the bag salt seats in is fine.
