Tank tear down

Due to personal reasons I have to take down my reef tank and sell everything off. I would appreciate any advice that anyone has about how to proceed. I have talked to some store owners and they are willing to give me store credit but I will need the money. I can post up a list of corals and live stock if anyone is interested. I also may need help removing some of the corals from the live rock before I can sell them. Thanks in advance for any help.

i would be interested in knowing what corals and livestock you have.

well, sell your livestock first, before taking equiptment out . hardware can be reserved until the corals’ fish and rock are gone. Pictures and asking price are a definite plus to sell anything here quickly.

And depending on the size of the rock and the coral thats on it sometimes its better to just sell it as 1 piece. List, pictures, and prices usually make it a quick and painless process.

I can start posting pictures and prices tomorrow. I am going to have to guess on some of the prices. I know what I paid for most things but they have grown and should be worth more retail wise but I would sell them for less then retail.

Sorry to hear that you have to take it down Chip. Like everyone said, just list what you have for sale and the price for them. I’m sure someone on here will get something from ya.

Sorry to hear your leaving the hobby! It’s ok to take a time out, perhap someday you will comeback and we will always welcome you.

Bummer to hear of another teardown. Hope you will return sometime in the future. List stuff here and you know they have good homes to go to.

Here is a list of what I have available from my tank. I will sell the whole setup or sell in pieces. Please message me if you are interested in anything.
