Bryan,
You said that the light flickered and might need a new ballast. There are 2 ballasts in it and neither flickers, they won't even come on! What I looked at was a 5 gallon bucket with a birds nest of wires because you didn't feel the need to unplug everything. A 10 gallon tank cost 10-15 dollars at most stores. The powerhead was supposed to be two (2). I got one. 50.00 lbs of sand would be hard to carry around in a 10 gallon tank. 30 lbs of sand seeded with some from your tank is a long way from 50 lbs. As for me being ok with it, that was when the light only needed 1 ballast. This was to be a quaranteen tank. If you would have been upfront with me I probably would not have made the 94 mile trip each way for a setup that didn't work. I didn't make a big deal when I picked it up because I don't make a big deal about small issues. A flickering light that works and less sand is not a big deal. A light that does not work and all the other small discrepancies is a "BIG" deal. This was sale was misleading from the beginning.If what I was going to get from you wasn't as described, then you should have listed it more accurately.

Often times, a resolution can not be made until a situation goes public. Parties seem to be more motivated to come to some sort of compromise once something gets posted like this, especially if they have a constant stream of stuff to sell.
