Hello to all....LTB

[Ladipyg]

Hi Everyone! I have everything I need to start up my SW tank again...well, except for the tank. I had a 125 gallon glass tank that was not RR and decided that I wasn't thrilled with that option so I sold it yesterday!
What I would like is a 150 gallon or larger reef ready tank. Acrylic preferred, hey, I'm retired, I have the time to buff out any scratches. If not glass would do. I am willing to make the trip up to Chi town to pick it up. Have truck, have trailer, will travel!!!
If anyone remembers me and knows of a tank for sale, drop me a line. My barn is full of crushed coral, eshopps sump, extra, extra large skimmer, MH and T5 lighting, tons of base rock, etc. Just want to go reef ready.:bounce1:
I am at the point where I would even do a 125 gallon if it were reef ready.
Thanks to you all....Nina

Is there a preferred price? I don't have a tank to sell myself but I could let you know if I find one

 

[Ladipyg]

No preferred price...I would say reasonable would work for me. Especially if I will be traveling 600 miles to get it... I was thinking of setting up a 55 gallon tank, BB now and cycle it as a holding tank...maybe I can get some coral frags while I am up there. I see you have the kind of tank I am looking for RR 180...did you but it new? Just wondering...

Thanks for taking the time to read my post...Nina

Hello to all....LTB

Haven't seen one yet, but if I see one I'll point it in your direction!

Haha no, I bought mine on craigslist, just like I found the 120 gallon before me that served as my first saltwater tank.

Here in NW Arkansas there aren't any pet shops, reef shops anything like that. There is a Petco in Branson, but they don't carry anything over 75 gallons and it is too expensive from them.
The craigslist here is just crazy. People want as much for their used tanks as new ones. Thanks but no thanks! If I am going to spend that much money, I will just buy a new tank. I keep looking on Ebay, but I just want a tank.
If it is meant to be, it will be....

Chicago craigslists are a mix. Some are really good deals, others are just outrageous. Depends on what you are looking for and who is selling. Like this,would this be a good price?

You could try searchtempest.com to look at all local craigslists...

$1450 for a 220 is outrageous. I sold my 180 RR full setup with stand, sump, return pump, lights for $600 a couple months ago and it took me a month to sell it. Get on the facebook reef groups as deals are always popping up.

Nina, for what you will pay for tank and travel, just call Deep Sea Aquariums! Good prices and great tanks! Former Oceanic management and builders. I know for a fact they sometimes have factory seconds (they are perfectionists. My post-fire tank was delayed because of minor bubbling in one edge's silicone.)

Email me or send me a text if still have my number and I will send you the numbers I have for the owner.

Happy birthday yesterday!
:celeb1:

How kind of you to wish me a Happy Birthday! Spent all day at Silver Dollar City riding the biggest, fastest roller coasters over and over again. The newest one, Outlaw Run, drops 162 feet at 81 degrees. That is just a tic away from straight down. Had to swallow twice to get my heart out of my throat and back in my chest! I couldn't wait to ride it again. The second time was even BETTER! Now I am planning something special for my next birthday...I am thinking a cruise to Australia...it covers Bora Bora, French Polynesia, Fiji, Tahiti and Sydney. 23 days....now that would be a trip to remember!

Do you need a baggage boy for next year? Glad you had fun.
