Unhappy For Sale, Family's needs over Reefing needs.

So after 9 years in the hobby I have realized that this hobby has taken more time from my family then I can ever get back. Weekends, nights, days on end. It's been a insane roller coaster since "07". I have had 12 tanks, every type of lighting and sump. 10 gallon to 150 gallons all reef tanks. I sat down and logged my time. Thousands of hours and $14 to $15 thousand in livestock, equipment and heartache. My wife doesn't want me out of the hobby as she knows I'm already dreading the sale, so I'm downsizing to a 34 gallon Solana for the next few years or longer. Most of the money raised is to go to a down payment on our future home. I'm aware of the flood of sales but I also know the value so please no low ballers. The tank is still up and running but could be taken down quick.

Everything located in Esparto Ca. No trades please. I have everything for my Solana

Here is what's for sale. All prices are OBO.

93 gallon Marineland Cube 30x30x24 corner overflow. Unpainted. With custom built stand 36" high and canopy by Jefff Muillinax all black with slide out lighting rack and sump 20 tall. Tank has a few light scratches. $850.00

250 Watt MH SE Galaxy ballast select-a-watt (150 to 250) with mogul based Lumenmax Elite reflector and 10 ft plug and wires....$150.00

120 watts of Royal Blue LED Actinic kit from Rapid LED on 2 x24 inche black heat sinks with non dimmable ballasts with replacemet 5 watt chips and lenses.....$150.00

Will split up after Tang has found a new home. Unless you want him.



Livestock to be sold.

5 inch Purple Tang......$150.00



Extra Equipment that needs a new home as well but not included in the above package.
