OK, so I didn't get the offers I was looking for on the whole system so now I'm going to part out. See all individual prices below. All livestock and live rock must go before equipment, though I'll take a list for anyone who's interested in the equipment and contact them after the livestock is sold. Following is my original post for the system sale, so don't let the language fool ya, it's all for sale individually. I'll also be contacting all the people who have PM'ed me regarding components and livestock from the original post, so some pieces may already be spoken for.

Selling my 30X30X24 cube tank with all hardware and livestock. Relocating to the other side of the country forces sale. Breaks my heart because it's pretty much my dream tank but I can't take it with me so here ya go. Would love to sell as a system so I'll list as such and will add pics tomorrow. But will probably end up parting out unless someone makes the splurge. Pretty high-end equipment on this one, folks. No low ballers please but open to any reasonable offer. If I have to part out, all livestock will have to go first along with the live rock.

1. 90ish gallon cube tank 30X30X24. Bottom drilled in two places. Free standing overflow at present in the rear right corner is dead silent and in my living room. - will sell as a package with the sump and stand for $800 but will sell individually for the right offer as well.

2. Matching stand for the tank. Is a homebrew solution but turned out quite nice and quite functional and up to the task. Again, will add pics tomorrow. No canopy, due to current pendant setup. - see above

3. Sifiligoi Infinity XR4 pendant. 250 watt metal halide has Geisemann 14.5 K hqi bulb around 5 months old right now. Also 4 24Watt T5's actinics with around 6 months on them. Oh yeah, did i mention it has the ACLS dimmable ballast system?!? - $1500 obo

4. Deltec AP-701 recirculating skimmer, gravity fed from the overflow. A bit of overkill for skimming this size tank, will never let you down! - $750 obo

5. Custom 3/8" acrylic sump made by Superfudge (thanks man, was a superb job) with bubble tower, 3 baffles, and large skimmer compartment. Anyone familiar with his work can attest to the quality and beefiness of construction. Probably around 40 gallons, just fits snugly into the stand. - see entry for the tank above

6. Neptune Aquacontroller Jr. Comes with DC8 and temp probe. Ph probe included but needs to be replaced as is probably at the end of its useful life (I've been using it for over 2 years on this and another setup). - $150

7. Coralife calcium reactor and CO2 setup. Never had any problems with it, works great as long as is fed by a peristaltic pump (aqualifter included). Monitored by the aquacontroller, has always kept my Calcium, magnesium and and alkalinity rock solid. 10 lb CO2 canister and milwaukee solenoid, regulator, needle valve and bubble counter. Reliable little CO2 setup. - $250

8. 2 Koralia 4 powerheads. Around 9 months old, working well, no mods and no issues. - $30 each

9. Eheim 1260 return pump. Perfectly sized for this size sump, in my opinion. Very reliable pump, no issues. Very quiet. - $80

10. 2 Tunze 6055 nanostream powerheads with single controller. Great flow, small form-factor, comes with light sensor for calm nights. - $300

11. Aquamedic kalkwasser stirrer - $120

So that's it for the equipment. Now for the livestock:

1. Transition Blueface angelfish, a beauty and a model citizen so far. 4" - $80
2. Flame Angel, around 3" - $30
3. Yellow tang, around 3" - $20
4. Sailfin Tang (desjardin), around 3" - $30
5. 2 Tomato clowns, 1-2" - $10 each
6. Ocellaris clown, around 1.5" - $10
7. Yellow wrasse, around 3" - $10
8. Black leopard wrasse, around 3" - $20
9. Male anthias squamipinnis, around 3" - $20
10. Dottyback, not quite sure of species, never saw it for sale before, 3" - $20
11. Randall's shrimp goby with tiger pistol - $30
12. Blue/regal tang, around 2" - $30
13. Fairy wrasse, around 2" , not sure of species, bright red streak on back - MIA, lol (carpet surfing?)

And the inverts:

1. Several turbo snails and an abalone - free if you take the live rock, otherwise let's say $20 for the lot
2. Sea hare that came as a hitch-hiker on the liverock now around 2" - free if you take the live rock
3. tiger tail cucumber, getting large now - $10
4. 1 cleaner shrimp, was 4 but the dottyback has been busy! - $10
5. Red coco worm, is perhaps a little less healthy than when I bought it - free if you take the live rock! let's say $20 on it's own
6. 2 crocea clams, around 3-4" each - $50 each
7. 1 maxima clam was listed as "ultra" when purchased, around 2.5" - $50
8. Large favia colony, purple with green centers, really nice - $50
9. Large red goniopora colony - $30
10. Large and thriving pipe organ - $60
11. 2 photosynthetic gorgonians, one still a small frag, the other a large colony - the small one will be difficult to remove from the LR so may include the LR in the price, say $25, the large one is $25
12. 2 zoanthid colonies - $20 each
13. green and blue mushrooms - On a piece of LR, around 12 mushrooms in all, including the LR, let's say $30
14. green sinularia - $30
15. small colony of torch coral, around 8 heads? - not doing so well, would not sell this one, may end up having to discard
16. beautiful australian acanthastrea, around 6" across or more. - $80
17. 1 gold barrel tunicate - $10
18. Around 100 lbs of beautifully coraline encrusted mostly vanuatu or tonga rock, almost entirely purple now! - $400 would prefer to sell as a whole

I'm going to get some more pics of individual pieces as well later today so keep watching this post for updates.

Still open to offers on the whole package, by the way...
