Leaving the hobby sale
 

I've had this setup for about 8 yrs now and for about 6 months I have been battling green algae. I've surrendered and it's time to move on. I got kids now and they have taken over my spare time. Also, will be moving soon and don't want to lug this beast along. It's a 180g setup with sump:

Livestock (barely anything left now). Had a disease wipeout most everything about 2 years ago and never had the heart to restock.

1. Giant clam. Probably about a foot long= $125
2. approx 200lb. of live rock (needs thorough brushing to get off all of the algae. Also has aptasia- $300 for all of it
3. Tomato clown and RBTA- $50 will only sell together
4. large white toadstool (about 10" diameter) $70
5. Devil's hand (large)- $40

PM'd, can possibly pick up the clam tonight?

Lol where are you gonna put a foot long clam ?

can always make room :biggrin:

Clam is on hold until tomorrow evening. Likely sold

I'll take the clam if it falls through.

Clam is sold.

Forgot to mention, I also have a medium-large hippo tang that's been in the tank forever. It survived the great plague of 2013 so you know it's a tough dude. $40?

OK, I need to get rid of this stuff. Everyone wants my hardware but not my livestock or rock. lol. I have a long list of people waiting for my LEDs, pumps, etc.

Everything is OBO (but nothing ridiculous)!!!!

Keep in mind that the algae will just die off the live rock once it is kept in the dark for a few days. The aiptasia? Now that's a different story.

Once again, I'm open to offers. I need this stuff gone. I have a lot of people waiting on me for my hardware. I can't sell it until I sell my livestock.

What kinda shape is the Blue Tang in? Can I see a picture of him?

Ble tang looks great. I can text u a picture.

Both softies gone.

Options?
 

I have a file fish that eats apt. And a sailfin that is a pig for anything green. I had a little green algae on one rock and he ate it right up. So needless to say I have zero of both in my tank. (260gal)

I'm wondering if I put in some if this rock if they would just eat off all the bad stuff?

Or am I just asking for trouble?

Any options?

Mostly everything gone now except for the rock. I'm going to keep them in the dark for a week or so and see if that kills off the algae. Hopefully it does the trick. I've cleaned most of there algae off the rock anyways. It's not that hard.

So, anyone who doesn't mind aptasia or has something that eats it, this is a bargain at $1/lb.

A good scrub with a tooth brush, a quick peroxide bath is all I did with some of mine.
