75 Gallon Stocked Reef Tank

crsswift70 · Post by **crsswift70** » Sat Jan 10, 2009 1:58 pm

I'm not dead set on selling this but will if i get a decent offer. I think i have about $2k in it overall. It has a current 2x150W MH 4xT5HO fixture, MAG5 return pump, 2 Koralia 3's, 20 GAL sump with skimmer and Fluo. light for the chaeto, approx. 80 lbs LR, etc... the coral list is long. about 8 diff paly-zoas including AOG's, Bam Bam's, Devil's Armor, Watermelon's, etc.. 2 orange Ric's, Pink and Green Birdnest's, Devil's Hand, Green Nepthea, Green Candycane, Purple and Green Digitata, Blue Cloves, Superman Montipora, Green Cloves, Green Fuzzy Mushrooms, Duncan's, etc etc..... Fish wise, i have 2 False Percula Clown's, Banghaii Cardinal, ? Tang, and a Starry Blenny. This tank has been extremely stable. I do water changes once a month and add no supplements. If anyone is interested, let me know. I am NOT parting it out as i would just as soon keep it as go through that headache. I do have or can make frags of most of the corals to sell if nothing else.

edit: i forgot to list the 10 gallon sump and auto top off built in under the stand. I fill it once a week with about 7 gal of water and don't have to worry with it again til the next weekend.

I am curious. What is the tank sitting on ?

The tank is sitting on a stand that i made. The core of it is made from 2x4's. The outside mostly fir that is stained. As for how much, i'm not sure. The light is less than a year old so is still worth a good bit all by itself (new ones are between $6-700). I'd love to get $1500 out of it. As i said, i have $2000 in it at least, but that's with buying small frags. All of them have grown well and are worth a good bit more now. But, who wants to go through the headache of fragging 30 corals

I thought it was but wasn't 100% sure of its name. Thanks! I live in Spanish Fort. Lots of people have been asking about frags. Most of the frags can be made for $10 except for the rarer zoas. Some of the really common stuff $5. If anyone has real interest, PM what you want and i will make a frag package with price. As you can see, the bottom of the tank is filling up with frags already and i'd like to make some room. I am limited on some of them though.

Tank is still available. I have pink and green birdsnest frags available as well as a couple purple digitatas, orange dragon eyes zoa's, green candy cane, and Orange Montipora. I may be fragging some of my Devil's Armor zoas as well this weekend.

Your tank is beautiful Chris, thanks for letting us enjoy seeing it. Your frags look great, and hope they grow as fast and beautiful as yours. Thanks also for the cheato.

Chris I found your little purple coral. Go to soft corals then click on Autres. Check out the 3rd from the bottom.

I think you may be right. A Sansibia Blue. I looked at some other sites and they look identicle. Thanks!

Sansibia is one of those odd, new genera that scientists have begun naming recently. Then again, they are going through a lot of soft corals and either naming or renaming them.

They are the ones in the 8th picture of my post. They are rather fragile apparently as they all "died" off when i got the original frag. Luckily, they came back over time on the original rock and are doing well now.

The tank is still available. I have fragged a few things but all of the mother colonies are still there.
