Well after some long talks with my better half, I have decided to sell my complete setup. Everything is included, from my Bubbleking 300 ext with the self cleaning head to the aquacare ca reactor. All fish and corals, I mean everything.

I need to focus on buying a house right now, and with my recent career change and my soon to be wife, loosing here job, things are tight right now and I cant see putting more money into my tank over saving for a house.

But I will be back someday.

At first I want to sell as a whole package, this had everything someone needs for a great setup. So Im asking $8,000.00 for it all.

I will be getting a complete list together soon.


Thanks
Pat

:sad: Sorry to hear. I did the same thing and didn't set my tank back up until we bought the house we are in now. I hope you get a buyer on that entire setup. Live stock and equipment are top top shelf. Hope you get things stable soon cause the hobby needs more good guys like you in it.

I see you have two aquacontrollers. You aren't using both, are you? Would you part one of them out?

Yes I would, I would part out the AC3 not the pro. It has a ORP and pH probe as well as temp. The firmware is the lastest. It does not have and power strips like the DC8. But at $150.00 you cant loose.
Let me know.

Ok I would like to sell all my corals, that way I can part out if need be. I want to give it a week though and see if someone would like to buy it all.

Now, the price will include my labor to take it down and help whoever to set it back up.

So let the offers start....

Thanks

Let me know.

If it doesn't have any power strips, then does it actually control anything (like lights)?

No, but to save money you could buy a $20 adapter from x10 and add several x-10 modules.

You have some beautiful corals. I'm sure if you were to start selling corals I could drag a few of my local club members up there to buy a good majority.
