Hi All,

My family is about to embark on a major life change. We are in the planning process of building a 320sf TINY home and selling our 2100sf home. This means I have to give up this hobby that I love. The TINY house was my idea to start so I'm ok with this. The idea is we will be able to travel even more and spend more time seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.

I'd like to try to sell the entire system including livestock first. If someone is interested in the entire system without livestock please let me know and we can talk.

This entire system has been custom made by me. You can see everything I have done in my build thread here: http://reef2reef.com/threads/my-57-rimless.186682/

The base of the stand will need to be cut down so the top sits level in your house. I had to design it so the front right leg was 3/8" taller then the back left leg because the floors in my 1850 home are not level. This will be simple to do and I'm happy to do it for you.

I will help disassemble and reassemble the entire system anywhere in a 3 hour radius from Northfield, VT. If you are over 3 hours we can talk about a little additional charge. To move this it will take my Prius and another SUV. I have never moved a system of this size so I can not guaranty the survival of any of the live stock.

Equipment List:

- Custom stand made from poplar wood with an inlay fir top.
- Tank - 57 Gallon Deep Blue Rimless
- Lights - ATI 8x39W (bulbs all ATI 2 Coral Plus, 3 Actinic, 2 Purple Plus & 1 Aqua Blue Special all installed on Nov. 25, 2015)

I hope you'll be happy.....living in a camper or 5th wheel can get on you....I know you say "house" but you know "apples and oranges". I guess, I have too much stuff "I think I need" to down size. Best of luck with life change.

Thank you all for the kind words. I have been getting a lot of request to separate items. I'm strongly considering it. If I do I will give each person that sent me a pm first dibs in the order of the order them come in.

Nice system! Congrats on your decision to change your life. I must say I admire this. I've often considered doing the same thing, but I have to get rid of my student loans first:(
