For reallz though... I just posted to facebook that all my stuff is for sale. My phone won't stop making noisews. I'm selling everything from equipmet, corals, and tanks. Not getting out, but need a good reset for the stuff I use ONLY. My buddies are getting reactors, media, skimmers, tanks, knick knacks, do-dads, old IO salt, you name it, I'm clearing it out... for a very very good reason. MUAHAHAHA!

Yes sir. Enough tanks to have a few pet stores. I got bored with small tanks and have been buying bigger tanks. Gonna set up a nice size coral fragging room or try my hand at breeding some marine fish soon the extra tanks might come in handy lol. If you ever in ky give me a shout I can send you home with a few tanks

I didn't tell the wife I was coming home with them. She was ok with the first load. It wasn't until I brought back a car trailer full home, then she finally flipped out.

I started selling everything today. Recovered a good amount of cash and gave my fiance $100 for some makeup. That should make this new order of coral a little easier for her to digest.

Hello all... Has everyone recovered from the holidays??? (wipes leftover egg nog off chin) With the new year upon us, lots of us have made some resolutions or set goals for 2017. Besides dedicating myself to get deeper in the hobby, I'm also getting married and have some fitness goals. Another goal of mine is to sell off some old equipment I have been hanging on to. There are 8 aquariums in my house and garage as well as a plethora of equipment, some still useful and probably most of it is junk (to me). About 25% of the garage is full, an entire "office", and a small piece of our living room. 8 shelves of test kits, frag plugs, old heaters......... you see where I'm going with this. I also am willing to bet I am not alone.

Are you a reefing hoarder??? I am, and I'm ready to change (but only a little). Post up some pics of your stash/es! I'll post my mess when I get home from work. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Yep! Me too! I'm working on trying to clear stuff out myself.

I'm buying some equipment from a local that is getting out of the hobby for a while. One condition for buying the things I want (at a very low price) is I have to take his remaining "box-o-stuff" :) Like I don't already have enough of that!
