I'd like to donate all of my livestock to MR

[jayuws]

Hi Guys,

After 5 years of dealing with a back injury and countless surgical procedures on top of trying to maintain a reef tank I've decided to leave my manhattan apartment and move upstate with my family. So I need to get rid of all of my livestock ASAP. I want to keep the equipment in the hope that one day I'll be back to start again. I have a 40 gallon breeder with the following livestock.
-At least 60 lbs of live rock cover with Kenya Tree Corals and Button Polyps.
-2 Purple Tip Anemones with A Fire Clown Fish in each.
-1 Yellow Fin Blue Damsel
-1 Large Cleaner Shrimp
-1 Reef Lobster
-Clean-up Crew of mixed snails, Hermit Crabs and emerald Crabs
-Tons of Brittle Stars and small Stars
-More than 40 lbs of very Alive Sand.

Update: I am now planning on having anyone interested in taking some of the above items to come to my place on W87th St. in Manhattan on Wednesday at 8 pm. You have to come with your own buckets or however you plan on carrying these things home. If your interested in taking stuff on Wednesday please PM me with a list of what you want in the order you want them. So if the clown fish the most put it at the top of your list. This way I'll be able to at give everyone close to what they want. I'll let you know before you come exactly what you'll be getting before you come. So there'll be no ambiguity of what your getting.
Thanks,

Jay

Sorry to hear about your back problems.

I think the idea is for it to go to more than one person.

I would like the bubble tip anemone for my two clowns to host. Not sure if they paired up, but they do hang together a lot. :kiss:

So does this mean you are offering to organize this for him?

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Wow !

 

[Imbarrie]

So does this mean you are offering to organize this for him?

Not at all, I will defer to the reefer community to do that.

I will take it all for a buddy of mine that is starting a new tank and he would need rocks and all...he'll even give some money up

Hey Guys,

I really want to be fair to everyone so could I just give a time like 5 pm tonight to pick-up everything. I'm replying to emails right now. Remember that this is a 40 gal breeder and I'm on the 5th floor of a walk-up so this is not a 1 man job 1 bucket job.

Hey Guys,
I just updated how I'm going to do this to get rid of everything at once. I want to have everyone at my place at 8 pm on wednesday. If you are interested in any of the items in my tank please PM me with a list of what you want in the order you want them. So the thing you want the most is at the top of the list. I'll use first come first serve for the first item and work my way down the list. But everything has to go on Wednesday. I really appreciate everyone who can help me out. I would hate to have to kill something just for my benefit.

Jay
