Hi everyone,
As only a very few of you that got close to me during my time in the hobby know, I had hit many a rough patches over the last year+. It has come to pass that - with a possible new career on the way, a very probable divorce and relocation - I am deciding to offically get out. I may keep a skimmer, a pump and a light or two... but thats it! I dont need all this equipment anymore (and anybody that knows me even a lil knows i have a small room FULL of SW related stuff).
Since I have SOOO much stuff it is very difficult (not to mention extremely time comsuming) to actually list it all here and do it all that way, so I am going to try something else instead - an old fashioned garage sale.
I have heaters, pumps, wavemakers, some various lights, sumps/fuges, tanks to be made into sumps/fuges- anything from a 20L to a 75, divided holding tanks/systems, 150 peninsula style acrylic RR, 120 gallong horse trough - has only ever been used for SW, buckets and buckets of sand (needs a good rinsing tho!), and probably well over 500lbs of live rock - and yes it is still LIVE! I have kept many tubs and such going with circulation and such so the rock would remain live for when I set up my huge a$$ 300gallon RR (also for sale).... after a dishwasher supply line leak and having to tear down/move everything so the insurance could gut two out of the three floors in my home - such fun - I lost almost all my corals and most of my fish... I just do not want to re-start everything at this time, especially when I have no clue where I will be at over the next few months.
Anyway - along with all the big stuff, I also have all the lil stuff. Will most likely have a couple boxes of free odds-n-ends for members to pick threw... This club, and the people in it, helped me so much when I started out, I'd like to return the favor. All I ask is you pick fairly for things you will use and leave the rest to somone else who may need it.
I am thinking of the garage sale being next weekend, so the 15th or 16th so as not to fall on the weekend of your meeting. That gives me a week to move everything into the garage and set up for easily viewing everything instead of digging. I will let you all know once it gets closer to next weekend which day it will be... Also, if you have to work during the weekend - I could do "garage sale by appointment" for u LOL
Most importantly;
Thank you to everyone! Thank for the wonderful opportunity to meet u and share in something fun, putting up with my hot-temper phase and am sry for that (i am an irish/german mutt after all &*yes insert female mutt joke here* lol), and for those that truely know the depth that this one means - Thank you for just being there - to laugh with, to argue with, to cry on... Thank you.
