So what is the total sale price you are looking to get?

 

[IzzysPop]

if you decide to part it out, I would be interested in a pump, salt, anything else you might have that I could use in a build for a water station.

So what is the total sale price you are looking to get?

I totaled everything up and have about $4000 invested and documented, that was doing group buys through FRAG and shopping wisely.
I am asking $1500 for everything including things I'm sure I have missed.
I retired in June and found out shortly afterwards that I have major health issues and am going through chemotherapy so just don't have the time or desire anymore.

 

[AZDesertRat]

I have attached a few pictures of how it has looked in the past and one recent one of the thousands of mini brittle stars inhabiting the live rock at feeding time!

Sorry to hear about your health. I hope the treatment is successful!

 

[AZDesertRat]

Probably not many of you remember me but I was a founding member of FRAG way back in the day. I was also a member and 2x President of the old Desert Marine Society and was instrumental in bringing in Speakers like Bob Fenner and Anthony Calfo and lining up sponsors like Spectrapure, Kent and others.
I remember when you couldn't get aragonite sand in any kind of quantities so we arranged with Home Depot to buy an entire flatbed semi truck load. I bought over 600lbs myself. And when live rock was hit and miss so one of the members arranged a 2000 lb group buy that we had shipped to Sky Harbor air freight and we picked it up from the loading dock! Bought 168 lbs of that myself.

 

[cromag27]

nice to see you around. sorry it’s under these circumstances.

 

[vanpire]

I am really sorry to hear about your health. I am old enough to know what u did, and I attended the Calfo lecture and was in your group buy for Kent salt. I wish you the best with your treatment.

 

[jporter17]

Very sorry to hear of your health issues. I wish you a speedy recovery! JP

 

[jsker]

I wish the best with your chemo, and beating your heath issues.

 

[AZDesertRat]

Thank you everyone!
Now if we can just get my tank sold. It is a great deal for someone. My asking price is about equal to the Spectrapure equipment or Current USA equipment alone, the tank and all its contents and one or the other above is basically free.

Hey AJ, sorry to hear your situation, definitely one of the old schooler (from RC) that helped me out when i first arrived in AZ!
Speaking of sand, was it you that brought in a pallet of southdown to the valley? I purchase half a pallet right before then from Marc Levenson when i was living in TX.

Reaching out to a few to see anyone interested!

Speedy recovery and take care old friend! let me know if you need anything.

 

[Sharkbait40]

Sorry to hear that you're having health issues. I had a stroke on New Years Eve five years ago and that took me in a different path myself for many years. Now I'm slowly taking another plunge in to a whole new reef world of today but with another group of great gals and guys, just alot slower. I only say this because I thought I was done with it and everything else myself but, I'm back again and hopefully you will to.
I only wish you and your family the best during these trying times.

Regards, Norm
