I'm selling my 65-gallon Red Sea Reefer saltwater reef system after 11 years of ownership. After several moves and changing priorities, I haven't been able to give the tank the attention it deserves, and it's time for me to pass it on to someone who can enjoy it.
Over the years, I've invested approximately $11,000 in equipment, gradually upgrading the system with quality gear capable of supporting a beautiful, thriving reef. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get into the saltwater hobby with an established system, or for an experienced reefer looking to expand their setup.
Asking $4,000 OBO for everything. I'd strongly prefer to sell the entire setup together and will offer a better deal to someone who takes it all. I'm also willing to sell livestock, rock, and equipment separately.

Toadstool leather corals
Kenya tree coral

Chaeto macroalgae
Approximately 90 lbs of established live rock
Approximately 30 lbs of dry rock
The Kenya tree coral has been with me since the beginning, and the established live rock contains a variety of beneficial organisms, including small brittle stars and isopods. The system has had minimal issues with bristle worms of other things you would be scared to touch. I never have to use gloves.
CONDITION & PICKUP
The tank itself is in very good condition, with just a small scratch near the bottom front of the glass. The sump/refugium has a crack in one corner that has been repaired.
Please note that this is a substantial aquarium setup. Buyer must arrange transportation and be prepared to handle the dismantling and moving. I won't be able to provide delivery or significant assistance with moving the tank.
I'm happy to answer questions and provide additional photos or details on request.
Priority goes to someone interested in the complete setup, but feel free to contact me if you're interested in particular equipment, livestock, or rock.
