Hey Guys,
Old salt here who dropped off the map for some years after being very active in all aspects of the hobby as well as the leadership of the club.
I have a basement full of stuff that I’m not going to use, at least for a very long time. I’m too busy with classes and work to even think about setting up another tank anytime soon (19 credits this semester). Enjoying my small tank in the bedroom is currently all I have time for.
Sooo….I basically have an aquarium shop down there.
Hundreds of pounds of dry rock(10gallon tub full 3 x 5gal buckets and sand, crushed coral, lighting, two or three sumps (two are Eshopps and one very large custom sump), refugiums, controllers, two full calcium reactor setups, ozone setup, like 6 skimmers (Tunze, reef octo hob, a gigantic reef dynamics modified for recirc.) countless smaller tanks (literally I lost count, some are brand new, some used for selling frags at the FFM), have a full 90 gal with custom stand and canopy which I will give priority and be very cheap to a new club member (I’ll be asking Earl to verify you) two ro units, ro booster pump, probably have some to filters, large and small pumps coming out my ears a bucket full of mag drives and dc. I have at least 2 reefkeeper controllers, one is brand new, two vortecs (one mp10 one mp40 both quiet drive but only one has a power supply the other got hit with salt water), bunch of vortec parts, A fluval 45gal tank drilled for an overflow, Ocean life European overflow that is for the fluval tank but can be sold as a pair or separate, Eshopps over flow box. Lighting, large halide setup 400w an extra electronic ballast as well as the magnetic ballast, an odd size coralife (made for a 30” tank), supplements test kits odds ends and do dad‘s, tools, frag bags bags, etc…. I literally cannot recall all of the stuff down there. Some older stuff but was considered higher end back in the day. Not looking for big bucks more like make an offer and take it outta here deals. I really don’t have the time to take pictures of everything nor answer a million questions through PM. I live in Putnam Connecticut 06260.
If your interested shoot me a message, I’ll give you my address and number. Come over look around and make offers. DON’T CARE IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNREASONABLY OFFERS as long as I do not have to answer a million questions and take a zillion photos. I am not willing to ship, I do not have time. I don’t think you will be disappointed for taking the ride with all the stuff I have to pass on. Though I do suggest you bring a truck and possibly a friend. If you don’t know me, ask some of the old school members like Earl about me, we went to HS together, or look me up:
“icycoral” (I see coral) see what I did there lol
Although I have not been active for quite sometime I can be found across the boards and Facebook. I was much more active on RC but can be found on Boston reefers FB and have a few albeit embarrassing vids on YouTube as well. I should have some feedback on here as well as rc if the archives go back to when I started in the hobby circa 2008.
The first photo is of my house. It looks nice lol. The other photos are the basement full of aquarium stuff that is not neatly laid out or organized in any particular fashion. This has driven my wife’s ocd for organization crazy, thus prompting the fs posts across multiple social media platforms.
In case you missed it in that long ramble….I’m not shipping.
if you have made it this far, thank you for reading my post and
stay reefy,

My basement before I filled it full of stuff
Things I need to get rid of
(Preferably before my wife shoots me)
Bucket full of pumps I accept PayPal, Apple Pay, Venmo, angel tears, and children old enough to do lab reports, write papers, and calculus homework
amonst the other things in the photos that’s an ai nano. The light still works great but the controller crapped out. I used it at frag shows, I think $10 bucks sounds about fair for the light….
Unused rkl No they don’t make them anymore. Yes they were flippin awesome.
I have another that is used.
Unused Tunze 9410 Great skimmer from what I hear. I have it’s little brother a 9004 on my bedroom tank.
Below are tunze 9010 skimmers. They’re a great skimmer if you like to plug it in and not mess around with it. If you like skimmers that you have to adjust all the time, and ones that turn into water fountains at the worst possible moment, they probably aren’t for you. They are also bullet proof. No seriously this is number three I still have it’s predecessors. I have tried very hard to kill my first one. It’s like that old cat missing an eye one paw and half its tail but still catches mice. Also there is a story of a World War One solder who kept one in his pocket. It saved his life ⬆
Used Tunze they still crush it. Make an offer any sane person would refuse. The catch is you can only make these offers in person.
One of the containers of dry rock it’s a 10 gallon tub, PLEASE don’t ask me to drag out the others unless your taking them home. there’s three five gallon buckets and two brute containers more.
hey here’s more stuff. Come visit, take it home with you, or don’t either way…
Two three stage ro units connected in series with a booster pump. Not to rock the boat my tank did better when I used Putnam tap water…jm2c
there’s so much crap in here it’s ridiculous. If you want to come rummage you will get it for pennies. If I have to organize sort take photos it will go on eBay or the curb.
