    I think to the right person on the right day...I would let the entire system go for $3500...but it would have to be someone that will upgrade it to a bigger tank, someone that knows what they are doing and wouldn't kill everything. The colonies I have alone would cost more than $3500, but I also know only a selected few would be willing to pay...I throw this up on craigslist and everyone would want to give me $500 for the whole thing :) that would never happen, I would prefer to give it away to someone who's really into reefing.

    Let me know if you need any help with anything. If you decide to frag or part out etc. I'd be interested in some things. Looks like a few posts back you already got an offer for $6k. I'd take that! Haha

    For $6K, I might even bring it to you...and it would be worth every penny ;D

    Thanks Jon, you know I've been talking about this for sometime now....I get bored with it, probably because I haven't added anything in over a year. Where it's located I don't spend much time with it either, I think the most time I spent infront of the tank in the last 6 months was when you stopped by the other day. Howz the anemone doing by the way? I've had them under LED for a few months, they look totally different from the mother.

    You can't get out of hobby. Since you are building a house you gotta keep a fish tank in mind while planning out the blue prints ;). I'm sorry to hear it though that's a gorgeous tank. Why don't you just break it down and store everything in plastic totes rather then going through the hassle of setting it back up? It would be a pain I admit but if only for a few months it could be worth it. Would be nice starting out a larger tank with those massive colonies.

    I know how you feel Martin.. My tank is downstairs also, so the time spent with it is limited too. The nem is doing great! Its found a spot that it seems to like. My clown hasnt noticed it yet.. I got my LEDs in and everything is acclimating. Maybe starting over will reignite the fun of the tank. Fragging what you have and starting a bigger tank with different things. It's hard to watch the same movie all the time. Plan a more convenient location in the new home for everyone to enjoy

    Thanks guys. Well the house is under contract...and the tank stays with the house, went back and forth with the buyer...but they had to get the tank, I can't blame them, I would have wanted it too. Can't believe I'm leaving a tank behind again...maybe someday I'll setup another

    Well I hope they take care of it. Maybe introduce them to this site and offer help whenever they need it.
