Im leaving the hobby, rather not talk about why. Too much work, not enough enjoyment. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING OR SELL EVERYTHING VERY QUICKLY. Obviously not looking to get all my money back but some without just gifting it to the LFS. Any input would help, thanks.

Where are you located at? Some places have better luck than others. It really depends what all you have if you can lump together for a good deal or part out the nice stuff and eat the random bits.

The R2R marketplace, Craigslist, and a local fish club are a few places to start.

Livestock is the hardest as most interested parties seem to be across the country. That’s been my luck at least :rolleyes:

I agree with those who mentioned local clubs. Instead of giving it as a gift to the LFS, gift them to new members to reefing in your area if no one buys your livestock.

You may want to post a list of what fish and corals that you have available. Also, if you can find a way to ship your fish then you may be able to get a greater financial return. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I'm aware that you don't want to discuss this, but I am sorry you are leaving the hobby. If you change your mind, there are lots of people here who are willing to help. I hope you think about eventually coming back to this sick, twisted addiction.

offerup, craigslist, the marketplace on here, any local reef board. some lfs might be interested, but IME they either prefer to give you store credit or just take them for nothing. also depends on what you're trying to give them.
