FS--Stunning Complete 65 Gallon Mature Reef System
 

Well, fellow reefers, the time has unfortunately come for me to sell my fish tank. I am planning on moving to Portland, OR for a career change in the next couple months and it's just not feasible for me to take my beloved tank with me. I'm bummed.

I want to sell it in one fell swoop. I am asking $2,300 for the whole, complete system—the equipment, corals, fish, and all the nicknacks that go with tanks. This is a screaming deal. I've put over $6,000 into this tank over the years and the corals by the themselves (many of which are rare show piece sizes) are worth well over what I'm asking for it. I've had it for over 7 years and the corals and live rock are fully grown and mature.

Here is what you get:

Equipment
--65 Gallon AGA glass aquarium
--Honey colored pine stand
--15 gallon refugium sump
--2 AquaIllumination Sol LED fixtures
--Custom made light hanging kit
--RapidLED PAR 38 all white bulb and fixture—for refugium
--Bubble Magus 3 Part Dosing system
--Warner Marine MF121 Skimmer
--AquaC Remora Pro Hang on Skimmer
--3 Hydor Koralia 4 circulation pumps
--Various circulation and return pumps—Mag 7, Mag 5, etc
--2 2 Little Fishies 150 reactors
--Testing kits, nets, magnetic algae scrapers, GFO, Carbon, etc.

Corals
There are too many corals in this mature tank to list them all but the highlights include:
--3 Jawbreaker Mushroom corals
--1 Rainbow anemone
--Fire and Ice Echinada (showpiece size)
--Baby's Breath Favia (50 heads)
--Mystic Grape Favia (40 heads)
--Tyree Elegance Coral (showpiece size)
--Purple Hornet Zoas (6 heads)
--Devils Armor Paly (40 heads)
--Captain America Paly (20 heads)
As I said, the tank is chalk full of corals and there are many many more corals included

Fish
--African Flameback Angel (Tank Bred and very rare)
--Marine Betta (Tank Bred)
--2 Naked Clowns (Tank Bred and paired)
--2 Bangaii Cardinals (Tank Bred and paired)
--Yellow Assessor (Tank Bred)
--Indigo Dottyback (Tank Bred)
--Melanurus Wrasse

Let me know if you're interested in this sweet tank!
Patrick

usally the tank will have to cycle again and the coral and fish don't make it, If you want to sell the coral and fish separately let me know.

I cant believe you are selling it Patrick! Man, this tank is gorgeous in person. :/

I'm interested in the elegance coral and Banjii pair if you decide to part out. Probably some other stuff as well.

I've seen this tank and it's one of the ones I have been trying to model!!! Glws!!! Good luck in Or and career change!!!

Thank you all for the kind words. I plan on continuing my reefing up in Portland once I get situated. I'm still bummed bc I've had this tank for 7 years and have watched it grow into what it is now

CrazzyReefer--I have moved many tanks in the past and have NEVER lost a single fish or coral. Perhaps you didn't know some of the tricks to keeping them alive. I will definitely help anyone who purchases this tank to ensure that there is a smooth transition and no animals are lost.

Wow,if i have the money,i be all over it.keep the live stocks and part all equipments.The livestocks is priceless consider how healthy and pest free.Good luck patrick

I'm sorry to hear you will be tearing your tank down and moving to Portland. Best of luck Patrick and send photos when you are settled with a new tank.

you should just take it with you. I moved a fully stocked 65 gallon to bend oregon with no losses.

There use to be a good store in Portland called sea horse aquarium. Good people and prices are good as well.
A few other places on the WA side Ocean in a box and coral vision in Vancouver WA. Good luck with the sale and move.

Hey Patrick, Set up a new tank in portland and we can ship you the corals when its ready. no post on the BAR site? You should stop by the Steinhart so I can show you the new frag room they are building. You want me to hold any of your corals? not much room but I can make some room...you keep the elegance at least.

Wish this was still there.

Thanks again for all the nice stuff you guys are saying. I'm gonna frag out some of my favorite corals and make sure I can get them when my Portland tank is up and running.

And that lemondrop anemone--man, that sucked losing that one.

On the brighter side it will be time to shop for a new tank!!!! So what will you set up?

Probably a 60 gallon cube. 2x2x2. I'm gonna give a go with seahorses and pipefish.

I have a 45 cube that I have been slowly but parts for! Next purchase is the radion then I'll be on my way to setting it up and using your old calcium reactor!

Ditto. I have moved dozens upon dozens of tanks, full blown SPS to FOWLR, and none have suffered any loss. Simply takes forethought and due diligence.

Sorry to see you go Patrick :( But Portland, sweet, love it there. I suggest living in Gresham, but I'm a wee bit biased :D I think I have reefer friends in the area, I'll check :D

Dude you can't move! Who's going to hang out with me during frag swaps!?

Thanks again you all. I'm gonna miss BAR meetings and all the folks for sur

Hey Patrick ... sent you a note to your gmail account. If that is not good, please PM me a better email address to reach you at and I'll resend you the message. Thanks!

Let me know if you interest to trade for a complete 40g Artisian set up from Cadlight (include everything). It been sitting in the garage for 5 months.

I forgot to mention that the tank includes a bunch of nice chalice corals--bazooka joe watermelon chalice (3 eyes), alien eye chalice (15 eyes), mummy eye chalice (6 eyes), and oregon mummy eye chalice (4 eyes)

Beautiful tank. Sorry to hear you have to take it down. Good luck with your sale and move.

Beautiful tank. GLWS!
