In the midst of my basement tradgedy and no money to rebuild the 120 like I want at this point in time I'm selling a good bit of LR and all but a few favorite corals. Anyone interested just let me know and you can come over and pick what you want. LR will be about $4/lb. because it's loaded with life and encrusted with coraline but I'm not out to rip anyone off. I also want to unload a pait of tomato clowns and a big yellow tang. I'm just gonna keep the nano and the prop system up for now.

Let me know.

what kind of corals

STACKER

shrooms, zoo's, leathers, pagoda cup, candycane's YSP, GSP, RSP, xenia, hammer, frogspawn.... I'd like to keep some decent frags and sell the rest. Many colonies are large and I'd prefer to sell them whole. ie. the 3-4 lb. piece of LR with the colonies encrusted or whole loose colonies. Photobucket is down right nowe for maint or I'd post a couple pix.

Paul, it would be a hell of alot easier if Mark just came over to my place to see my LR and such. I have about 160 lb. of LR but will keep what I can in the stock tank I have a few pieces in the 10-15 lb. range that he'd probably love to have. My day is full today till after 3:00 then I'll have to check with Deb about dinner plans but I should be home tonite all night. I threw the DVD player across the basement lastnight because it decided to quit and had me coral sea dreaming DVD in it. I got the DVD back unscratched but the DVD player didn't fare quite so well... :) I think it's terminal!

I will call you, I don't see why we can't take a ride over. Didn't know you had that much. Temper, Temper.

This wasn't the first incident with the DVD player. We paid big bux for it to be fiber optic (DTS) compatible withthe surround sound stuff and it was always twitchy and would freeze-up or just not recognize the DVD's. Friggin' chinese crap probably. I have a friend from the Pittsburgh area that wants soem LR too. She just PM'd me about stopping over too. First come first serve I spoze.... and the sooner I get the tank opened the quicker I can start the tand trade thing. Bring a strainer for the overflow if you guys decide to come. I'll keep the cell phone on me all day too...... :)

I would love to have some corals.....lets hook up next week, I get paid on wednesday (yippie). I have been wanting some frogspawn for awhile.

No problem, give me a shout on my cell 330-719-3530 and we'll figure out when is cool for you to swing by. I scabbed 4 VHO's onto a cheezy fixture and hung it over the tub because I lost a leather, some stars, and my black urchin. so far that's all I can see that didn't survive the move and the MH sunburn I gave 'em.

How much you asking for you corals?

STACKER

I don't really have a set cost because some are big, some are small and some are on large pieces of LR and they'd freak if we tried to pry or dig them out/off. Most of my corals are fairly common and I'll sell pretty cheap. I have a nice frogspawn and hammer, a large pagoda cup, a really nice favia, misc star polyps, tons of misc zoo's, 3 nice leathers, breen and purple frilly shrooms, fluorescent green shrooms, colt, xenia... blah blah.. I also still have about 75 lb. of LR I need to thin out including 3 really big pieces. I'll just buy new when I can afford to get the big tank back up and running the way I want it.

Dale I left you a message this evening about maybe stopping by and seeing what you have this coming Friday if you arent gonna be busy. I may be running Jason to Cleveland to pick his cleanup crew up from my old fish people, and Id probably be back in town around 7-7:30. Im looking mostly for softies (GSP, Xenia, Zoos, maybe a leather) and maybe some frogspawn. Jason would like to come by too and if he wants anything Ill hold it for him in my tank until I think his is ready.

Just lemmie know if Friday works for you, if not, Ill have to see what I work next week.

Thanks Dale.

I should be home right after dark Fri. (5:45-6:00) as I plan to be bowhunting most of the day. I have all the above if you are interested. Mainly in the $10-25 range. I have the BIG pincushion leather that is prolly worth $50-60 that I'd have to get $40 out of or think ab out keeping it... it's been in my tank from day 1....

Jamokie01

Alright well if it works for you then, Friday would be perfect. Hopefully Mike and Danielle from MDMAquatic get back to me today and I can find out for sure or not if Ill be going to Cleveland on Friday. Adding in the time that Mike and Danielle usually complain about life when I pick orders up, Id say 8:00 is a more likely time to arrive at your place. I dont wanna come too late or anything.

Oh, and can I bring you the pumps to take a look at? Theyre really no big deal, or no rush at all, I just like the random flow they provide as opposed to the powerheads I have in there now.

STACKER

11/22/2006, 02:18 PM

Sounds fine to me, I have no plans other that to hunt and to loaf around as much as possible...

Hey Jamokie, If you go up to see Mike & Danielle she has a sweat shirt that belongs to me. If you could pick it up for me I would appreciate it. You can leave it with Stacker or bring it when you stop by. You will be rewarded for your efforts.

Alright no problem, assuming they ever get back to me and we get to go there Friday. If we dont go Friday, we will probably end up going sometime next week.

hows the sale going stack, I wish I had your camera here because yesterday I got a Male Lineatus Fairy Wrasse in that you guys just have to see, I brought him straight home and he's already eating after just 24 hours in captivity. I can't find this fish anywhere online for less than 200 bucks, I know the critter had them for 299 when I was living up that way but he's got amazing purples, reds, greens and yellow markings all running throughout his body, send you camera for christmas lol.

Thinned out the softies and leathers aand 30 lb. of LR. I need to get rid of atleast another 50 lb. of LR (3 big pieces) so I have enough room for the sand trade. I'll be drilling the tank, installing a 1000 gph overflow, and closed loop. Building a new stand and canopy, ATO and automated W/C system like I had rigged before I tore the tank down. None of this will happen until spring so I have alot of time to gather parts, amterial, and equipment.

Jamokie01

11/25/2006, 11:24 PM

Hey Dale, thanks again for everything. All the pieces are open and happy, plus I picked up a crazy purple gorgonian that is just gigantic. My tank finally has some movement goin on. Lemmie know whenever you get anything done with the pump and if you need me to pay you for anything else.

Paul, Mike and Danielle never got back to me so we didnt end up going to Cleveland.

STACKER

11/26/2006, 01:44 PM

I'll work on the pumps next week and I'll letcha know... All you'll need to pay for is parts which will on;y be a few bucks, labor is equal to beers!

I live in Cleveland and have started a new reef. I have 2 very small corals so far in my 55g. I could use anything you wantt to part with. I have room for live rock.

STACKER

11/27/2006, 01:13 PM

I have alot of LR left and some misc. corals and a couple fish. feel free to give me a call after 6:00 330-719-3530. I'll keep the cell with me all evening.

LR is $4/lb which is a STEAL and several pieces are encrusted with star polyps, mushrooms, sponges, fan worms, ect. I won't let these go so cheap because of the coral growth but nothing will be even close to retail cost. I need the space and need to get the fish in a more stabile environment.

Sounds good, just lemmie know whenever anything is ready.
We took an unexpected trip to Salty Critter yesterday, my first time there. Beautiful livestock, awesome corals, prices were slightly high but definitly worth it for the quality. Im gonna try to go back maybe next week.

Oh, and as far as I know, Jason is interested in the refugium we talked about, so if you have some time to do some acrylic work and we can decide exactly what to build, he would like you to build him one.

STACKER

11/27/2006, 06:35 PM

No prob. all I need is a layout and dimensions and I'll make it happen. I can check on material cost as soon as I know sizes.
