[ALL CLAIMED] Livestock & Tank(40G Breeder) Giveaway

[impcassette]

Everything must go within 1-2 weeks!!

I am moving to Toronto and alas must give away nearly all of my tank. I won't subject them to my road trip. :'(

NOTE: The livestock all seem healthy and I have not made new additions in 6 months, however the tank has some less desirable inhabitants: many flatworms (actually I think they're rust not red?), lots of bubble algae, I saw some hydroid colony a while ago but now cannot find(?). Also big spirorbid worm boom so they're on a lot. Have seen some vermetids too. Accept at your own risk. I have been doing basically nothing to it recently and falling behind on maintenance, so everything here is certainly extremely hardy. Have been only using plant grow lights, so all will be used to very low (white) light.
No fish have exhibited aggression to my knowledge despite it being a little on the crowded side.

Livestock:
[CLAIMED] Lubbock Wrasse ~2.5" (eating flake/pellet) - a jumper!
[CLAIMED] Ocellaris clownfish pair (paired up and hosting some xenia). The female got a lot darker and looks kinda like a Mocha, around 2". Male is very orange and around 1.5". (eating flake/pellet)
[CLAIMED] Grey clown goby 1" (eating flake/pellet)
[CLAIMED] Algae blenny ~3.5" (eating flake/pellet and grazing all day)
[CLAIMED] Pearly jawfish 3" (eating flake/pellet)
[CLAIMED] Court jester goby 2" (has only ever eaten pods and micro life from sandbed. never showed interest in frozen food or anything. I will only part with him to someone with a microfauna-rich sandbed)
[CLAIMED] Tiger conch
[CLAIMED] Some misc snails like 2 astrea, some ceriths and nassarius.
[CLAIMED] 1 pepermint shrimp
[CLAIMED] 3x sprouted mangrove pods [note have flatworms on them]
[CLAIMED] 6x assorted gorgonians [note have flatworms on them, 4 of the 6 are around 6" and seem healthy, 2 of the 6 are 3" and surviving but certainly not thriving]
[CLAIMED] Assorted macro algae mainly codium and gracilarias [note have flatworms on them]: nicest is my ~6" string of pearls
[CLAIMED] Live rock covered in bubble algae, xenia, and cheap brown zoas. Saw a huge bristleworm once. Very possibly could have other pests I'm not aware of. No aiptasia though.

Equipment:
[CLAIMED] Aqueon 40 gallon breeder tank.

I can follow up with photos of anything you want!!
If you're willing to take large quantities of livestock at once and live within 45 minutes of Berkeley I can bring it to you in a bucket.
Otherwise you have to come pick it up from me in Berkeley over the next two weeks.
Only willing to give the Court jester goby to someone who assures me he'll have a populated sand bed to eat from. He was so skinny when I got him and I love this guy so much.

Here is a recent photo of the tank (with some stirred sandbed haze) for reference

I am so sorry you have to part with your fish tank I wish I had seen this sooner before buying my new one as an introduction into the hobby. I am also in Berkeley and cycling a new tank but its taking forever - would it be possible to only take some of your rock to help my cycle along, or are you hoping to part with everything as a whole all at once? If I am able to cycle my tank a little faster I would be able to take the pair of clowns.

 

[impcassette]

Yes you can have as much or little rock as you'd like, and I can hold off on the clowns for you. Adding a lot of macros, mangroves, etc let me cycle pretty much immediately if you want any of mine and don't mind the pests I have.

I’ll be in Orinda on Monday evening. I’m mostly interested in all the macroalgae especially the ~6" string of pearls and gorgonians. I’ll gladly take any attached xenia and aiptasia as well. If you haven’t found homes for the fish yet I can take them too. My tank has a mature sand bed with tons of pods. Would you be able to meet in Orinda on Monday evening?

I'm just south of DT Berkeley and would like clownfish pair if they're still available.

SupraSalty:
Awesome, I could bring the macroalgae and gorgonians to you then! The clown goby is still up for grabs. I can bring most my rocks with other macros and xenia too if you'd like (no aiptasia luckily!)

All remaining stock is these:

Edit: Nvm clown goby has a home.

I'm going to give the clowns to another due to your timeline but please let me know if you want any of this rock [excluding gorgonians promised to another], or as much mature sand as you'd like too.
