Best offer and the sooner the better.
You must obviously be ready to pick it up and cash only please. I will not ship live stock, they have been through enough. I will ship lighting and hang on protein skimmers and power heads but believe that the pump, and Burmuda Skimmer and MH lighting, aqua controller, water level controler and such will go better as a complete package with the 265 gal tank.

I maybe interested in the Clown Trigger if you decide to ship. How big and how much are you asking for him? Is he at all aggresive?

I'm interested in some of it, depending on where you are located and how fast you want to get rid of it.
either the 135 or the 55 (or both, if the price is right), and some of the corals.

OK here it goes,
I live about 30 minutes west of Hartford CT.
The tank is in near perfect condition ( i only use the word near because I havent inspected every inch of it with a magnifiying glass). Think it was custom made so I have no idea what brand if any. It has two one inch holes on each end that are painted black and the trim is black also. This tank weighs about 600 lbs just so you know. I purchased it for $1000 it goes for $1800 drilled new. I will sell it for $900. I have had the tank set up for only a week since I purchased it.
The MH Lighting 1 Blueline Electronic and 2 ProLighting Inc AQ1-400-MH-120V ballasts. 3 Mogul Ceramic lamp holders. This is $1200 worth of lighting including the lamps that go for $90 each. I will sell them for $600. Half price. This includes 3 new bulbs and 5 older ones.
IceCap 660 ballast with lighting I will sell for $225, it cost over $300 and is only about 6-8 months old.
The protein skimmer Burmuda Aquatics BPS-5C with a Sedra pump is a week old and I will sell if for $450 a full $100 less than I paid. I still have the box and all the packaging.
The liquid level controller is new still in the bag. It uses air pressure in a single sensor to detect the water level change. It was $50 dollars I will sell for $35
The aquacontroller was $265 with a DC8 and PH probe which is still in the box. The controller is in use powering a 1000 watt titanium heater from a pro heat controller that doesnt work well. It also has a temp probe as well as an additional DC8 only one of which is currently being used. The DC8's was over $174 and the temp probe was $40 dollars. I will sell the unit for $280 with one DC8, the temp probe, the PH probe and the heater. I will sell one of the DC8s for $125 (save $50).
The 135 gal tank is in good condition is does have some scratches which can only be seen when there is no water in it. It has a brown trim and I have two tops that cover it made of plastic which I dont use. I will sell if for $300 including the stand.
The 55 gal tank is scratched on the inside again you cant see them when the tank is full but is quite old. It has a nice stand from ***** and will sell if for $100 including the stand.
The assorted powerheads cost me at least $200 dollars for the 5 of them. They are all about the same size except one rotates its nozzle. I have to tell you it works while it is really clean but once the calcerous algae starts to build on it it doesnt rotate, so dont waste your money on a new one they are expensive. $15 dollars each.
The clown trigger, what can I say he was cute when I bought him at only 1 inch long now is now 2.5 inches long 4 months later is is still kinda cute. He will get much bigger (LFS here has one that is about 9 inches long! and much more aggressive as he grows. Dont put him with anything but a really tough crowd. I fish book author was wrote that he had one and kept it with small damsels that had lots of small hiding places to dart into WHEN he would come after them. It worked well for the ones who made it he said. I will sell him for $70.. They are selling one slightly larger at the LFS for $140! The 9incher is almost $300!. Crazy.
The Naso Tang is one of my favorites, I rescued him from an awful ***** that is close by. He is a really nice size for either the 135 or the 265 tank.
Make your best reasonable offer and come pick him up.

Are you willing to ship the Clown Trigger? Is he aggressive towards other inhabitants? What fish is he with?

He is with the list of fish above. He is not aggressive right now but he is still young, as they get older they become more territorial and much more aggressive. If you are worried about it dont buy him or you will not be happy with the outcome 6 mos down the road. I will not ship the live stock as stated before. Sorry.
