Hi Guys,

Well the time has come, i'm moving house 600 miles away and now need to sell off all my stuff as it can't be taken with us. Never fear, in a few years i'll be back bigger and better than ever but until then there's a few bargains to be had.

(The reason i'm posting this here is that the prices can seem outlandish to non-marine aquarists so I figured it would be pointless posting it in the selling area of the forum)

The whole setup was listed on eBay but the buyer backed out at £600 after just hitting my reserve, i'm open to offers regarding anything and everything and i'll sell the whole setup or individual pieces. I'm happy to post stuff but would prefer collection as it's less risky, postage costs not included:

Metal Halide Pendant - 150w (10k bulb) with twin 30w T8 actinic tubes independantly switched and powered all mounted in a single silver pendant assembly. Comes complete with hanging wires and wall brackets. Length is approx 38" and width is 12".
Price: £150

Live Rock - Grade 'A' Fijian rock with good coraline growth and assorted coral frags. Pieces range from 0.5kg up to approx. 7kg, total amount around 65kgs. Some of the large pieces have loads of mushroooms, etc. on them so collection would be better than postage as the corals will survive if transported in water. There's a possibility I could meet buyer as far as Bristol if the whole lot was bought (PM for details).
Price: £7.50/kg or £400 for the whole 65kgs

Eheim External Filter + Live Rock - Eheim filter crammed full of live rock pieces (approx. 5kgs). Perfect as additional filtration or as a stand-alone mini-sump for a small setup. Incudes all pipes and attachments.
Price: £50

Sponge Pack - Large red tree, large orange frilly and four orange frilly pieces (also a red ball and another red tree but these are not looking great and may be on their way out).
Price: £30

Zooanthid Rocks - Large sized rock covered with orange/pink zoos and a large rock with a small colony of green/yellow zoos.
Price: £30

Mushroom Rock - Large colony of brown mushrooms.
Price: £20

Rumphella sp. - Large specimen, approx 10" tall, quite a rare coral which branches and bends all over the place.
Price: £25

Sacrophyton With Hosting Clownfish - 12" diameter with 1" long tentacles and a male/female pair of percula clowns that live in the Sacro, must sell together as this is an established pairing.
Price: £50

Bullseye Pistol Shrimp - Moults regularly, very active and sometimes noisy.
Price: £15

Assorted Cleanup Crew - Pacific turbo snails (approx. 5), Narcissus snails (approx 25), Blue leg hermits (approx. 5), Rockpool shrimps (approx. 5) and a Tiger cowrie.
Price: £25

Seio M620 Powerheads - 2 x 2400lph powerheads with all attachments for a variety of mountings.
Price: £50

Eheim Powerheads - 2 x 1000lph powerheads.
Price: £20

Complete Sump Setup - Clearseal glass and perspex 3 chamber sump, 1750lph Hailea return pump (with pipework) and two 36w Interpet power compact light units (with tubes). Includes mature sandbed, macroalgaes and mangrove roots, basically plumb it in and your ready to go.
Price: £75

The main tank will either be sold when its all empty or donated to someone.

Or everything for £600!

All prices are random so make me a sensible offer if you think they are too high, i'll consider anything and everything has to go by August 6th ideally.

If you need photos just ask or search through my posts :good:
 
Sorry to hear you are moving on Aqua

Would be interested in you Zoa's (Can you pm me a pics) & Clean up Crew

Del :good:
 
We're going to be neighbours soon Chac :p

I'm moving to Banchory, Aberdeenshire :D

Maybe i'll just post my tank bit by bit to you and I can reassemble it later on :lol:
 
Just send me the whole thing then & I'll look after it (for a small fee) and when you get your new house together I can sell it to you :lol:

Was in Banchory the other day, having a BBQ, It is a very nice place, always full of Aberdeonians when it is warm

No Marine LFS thought :huh:

PS - Just got your email- I could arrange ANC to collect from you, I have used them loads of times to move livestock
 
If you want to arrange collection by ANC that's fine with me, I'm off all day Wednesday so you could get them to pick up from here and I can pack them when the courier turns up.
Send me a cheque or transfer the money direct, whatevers easier

PM me if you want my address, etc.
