Sorry to here your condition is getting worse,
If it wasn't so close to Christmas , I would be there in a snap, as I just sold my 210 a few months ago and regret doing it. For those interested this is a Great deal ! The SPS corals are fabulous and are probably worth the two grand alone. Bill, good luck with the sale but I know how tough it will be to see your beautiful set up go. I wish I could come up with the two grand and I'd be there

Wish I Could help
I wish I had the cash too. It sounds like a great system. I have 4 kids that take all of my spare cash right now. Whoever gets this system is sure getting a great deal though. All the best to you......Darryl

Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it. The RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) is so painful and is now in all 4 of my limbs. I think I take like 13 different medications for it. I now walk with a cane full time and any walking beyond 10 minutes requires me to be in my wheelchair. The side effects of the meds suck, my weight has ballooned up too because of the medications and now I've got problems with my liver and possibly will need a biopsy. For now they are going to ultrasound it next week and go from there. Most days I can only type for 10 minutes and then my hand seizes up too much with pain to continue as well. . . . so I try to type as fast as I can.
To give you an idea of how bad the pain is with RSD. . . the McGill Pain Index ranges from zero to fifty. Here are some rankings for example: Chronic Back Pain - 25 Childbirth - 33 Amputation of a digit - 40 RSD - 42 As of now there is no pain disease that is more painful than RSD. My specialist calls it the most nasty disease. Anyways, enough of that, but you can see why I have to call it quits with my aquarium. Boy it's gonna be hard to part with this thing. Personally I think it's a gorgeous tank and I've priced it for a quick sale. Bill Quote:

I'll bet your going through withdrawal or sellers remorse.
Yeah it's a real bummer that my disease has progressed. I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and it has spread into all four limbs. RSD is the most painful disease of chronic pain diseases. Here's the McGill Pain Index that shows that RSD also known as Causalgia is the highest Pain diseases.  I'm on so many medications and their side effects are quite bothersome too. I just had some other tests done and it looks like I've got some liver disease and will get an ultrasond next week and later possible a biopsy just to confirm just what's going on with my liver. Lately it feels like I can't catch a break. But I've got a lot of faith and I know I'm not fighting this by myself. But I sure hope that someone will buy my tank soon as it is a bit of a stress to me. I can't look after the tank by my standards any more and it show which is horrible. So anyone that reads this post, please pass the information around about my tank. I would really appreciate it. It really stresses me out having the tank now. . . and stress is the worst thing for my disease. I hate to part with it, but it has to be done. . . Bill Quote:

hmmmmm, no takers or much interest shown. Anyone care to venture an opinion why? too close to Christmas? price too high (hard to believe), too much money to spend right now?
I just have a hard time believing that there just isn't anyone really emailing me asking about it or offering a price or something. Honestly guys, the only reason I'm getting rid of this is due to my health and I just can barely do anything with the tank. I hate this as I don't want algae to grow or any corals to suffer. I really need to get rid of this tank as much as I have loved this thing but it needs to go to a home where someone else can enjoy and maintain it. I hate so much that my arms and legs don't work like they use to and that the pain is so bad. Isn't there anyone out there that could buddy up with some guys and maybe someone take the hardware and another the livestock or something. I used to make and sell lots of frags. This system has been very good to me. I hate to sound desperate, but I'm getting to that point. The tank is getting to look way below my standards. Don't get me wrong there are nice corals in there but some aren't as colorful and there are a few tufts of hair algae. I can't do water changes anymore. I can't carry the pails. I really could use some help from some guys in the Lower Mainland and just come up with the funds and take it off my hands. Normally I would have charged a bit more, but I thought this was a very fair price to offer. If you feel you have a creative counteroffer, please email me. Please help a long term reefkeeper become an ex-reefkeeper. Again this is only because of my disease that I'm doing this. Merry Christmas everyone Bill

Hey Bill,
Sorry to hear about your situation. I don't have the space or cash but if you need a hand to clean it up I would be glad to lend a hand to help with some maintenances. Dan

Possible idea??
I dont think your price is too high at all. I think the biggest problem is the time of year. I know you dont want to part the system out but it may be the best way. Perhaps an on-line sale of all the items listed and have it on the condition that until the majority is sold the stock is to stay in place. Maybe some of the senior members can make some suggestions. I wish I had the cash and the space and it would be a slam dunk. The only other thing I could suggest and would definately be a last resort would be to see if a pet store would be interested, but I think you would take a big hit on the system.
Wish I could give you a really great idea, but I dont see any at this point. Good luck..Darryl
