Seriously there is a lot of livestock in the tank and equipment. It would take me all day to sit down and list everything one for one. However if you would like to schedule a time to come look at what I have just shoot me an email and we can arrange something. I really hate to have to sell this but I am in the military and am getting ready to move by the end of the year. So I am not in a giant rush but would really like this tank to go to a good home as I have put so much time and $ into this tank. I have invested over $14000 into this tank and live stock.Currently I have been running Tropic marin Pro-reef in my tank for a few months now. If you look up the salt alone you know how much it is. That is just because I like to take care of what I have. Everything has been cared for with the same love and effort. If you would like pictures feel free to email me and I will send you as many as you would like! Thank you for looking!

Thanks Michael! Just hoping someone can give my tank a good home. I really poured my heart into this tank and it really sucks to see it go but when duty calls, you gotta go. Thanks everyone for all the support and help in building this tank also! It wouldnt be what it is today if it wasnt for all the help and support on here! So thank you very much!

You make sure I get a chance to take some pictures, before you get rid of anything! You'll want pictures to remember, as will I!!

 

[ntswift]

We got to go visit Matt and his family, yesterday, and I took a few pictures of his tank and inhabitants. It'll be sad to see this beauty come down!

I was a bit blind, after taking this one.

I can attest to the health and SIZE of this bubble coral, as it used to be in our 200. Matt's given it a very good home, since then.

HUGE Duncan colony

So bright, I expected it to start blinking, like a neon sign!!

Mushroom MOUNTAIN

Hmmm, I know I got a couple pics of his Zoanthid garden. I'll need to find them. Until then, here's some others.

too bad you are on the other side of the mtn..the green metallic brain and bubble coral would fit nicely in my 375g.

We're coming over in July, and I'd be happy to transport corals. I have a lil' sentimental involvement in the Bubble Coral, as it was in our tank for a very long time. It'd be nice to know who it went to, and I know you'd take good care of it...lol.

Thanks Michael for the pics and kind words!

You're welcome, I always enjoy taking pics!! The kind words? You're very deserving of them! Heck, I know how difficult this is for you. I also know that you put much pride in your military duty, which is the only reason I've ever known you to tear down any of your tanks. That means a lot to me!

 

[ntswift]

Well thank you Michael! LOL...Unfortunately that has been the only time I have needed to tear down tanks. Hopefully when I come back I will set up bigger and better!
