After 26 years in the hobby, I am offering my cherished 300-gallon reef-ready system. This turn-key setup has been running beautifully for three years and is ideal for an enthusiast who wants to skip years of setup and enjoy a mature, established system at a fraction of retail cost.

Thank You
 
UPDATE: No buyers for the full system. Starting October 10, 2025, I’ll accept inquiries for live coral and some fish.
PLEASE understand some fish and reef equipment won’t be available until the coral/live rock is sold. These have been my pets for many years and I want them to go to good homes for others to enjoy.
I’ll share another update once that happens.
Please PM me to schedule a visit.
 
I just caught the Naso. I spoke to someone last yesterday about it but I can't find the DM. Please text me 857-389-3343 to pick up.
