125 Gallon Salt Water Reef Tank with 60 Gallon Sump and Pump - $25000

http://fortlauderdale.craigslist.org/for/224176705.html

i emailed him to see if he would part and if that price was correct, he said no and that was asking $25,000.00 for the whole package

im sorry i couldnt help but laugh....

i wanted to ask him if the price included a new pickup truck to transport the tank with

the new 2007 F-150 starts at $18,000

idk maybe the photo just doesnt do the tank justice

LOL what does he think everyone is an idiot?! for that much i should get the reef tank from miami seaquarium!

 

[scubasteve247]

well i just got another email from him, i guess hes selling this for a friend, since i told him i work at a LFS he asked for some advice, i helped him recalculate his price a lil, lol

 

[scubasteve247]

well he wants to seel it as soon as possible, he said he need to talk to his friend about the price but he said he would like to get around 4500 ish.. his friend needs money so pretty much just make an offer if you want it, heres the link again, http://fortlauderdale.craigslist.org/for/224176705.html

he said you can contact him via email at musclebudds@aol.com

I don't know what seems so funny? For all the corals he has in there its steal! I am going to take a look at it tomorrow. I offered him $16,000 so we will see.

LOL j/k that is crazy. You never know though. What if some rich guy doesnt have a clue and just has an assistant find it and buy it. It is possible for it to sell but it would have to be to a complete idiot. Nice find

-Matt :lol:

I have to chime in about this. If anyone gets it can I buy the "Incandesent 36" light fixtures. 2 Blue 2 White" lights and all the "enomones" sweet deal

 

[jessp]

i want the rass, and the cromus and what a deal for a tank that is "properly conditioned and sealed, Hence six month water only filtration then properly acclimated to all conditions -Fish and Enomones. "

did the fish and enomones write this listing?

what an idiot

 

[Miamireefer]

saw this when it came out myself and just figured he added an extra 0 in there by accident but if he is for real he needs to post that tank on a luxury site...... he'll be lucky to get 1000 for that setup imo.

iwas going to buy it but then i though , all that money and the tank doesen't even come , FILLED TO THE TOP WITH WATER.
how much extra is it to fill the tank completly?

you can tell he dont take care of it. look howmuch water its missing bro.

 

[cschweitzer]

D2dD, I thought you were serious for a second...I was going to offer to sell my one of my 55G for 50,000 if you were going to offer him that much...Any one of my three 50+G tanks has more in it than his 125G...

 

[astrogazer]

wow ... you know the adage ... There's a sucker born ...

wonder how in the world he came up with such a figure ... ??

 

[itz frank]

Well, with the current decrease in the worlds corals he probably figured his have increased in price 10x the original amount. Tell him to try again in 20 years and it might be worth it.

 

[jagtech76]

ok I'm going to say it "PUT THE CRACK PIPE DOWN "

 

[NanoKat]

Kind of hard to take someone seriously that can't even spell any of the items correctly. I sell lots on eBay and there's something to be said for your "presentation"...you get much more $$ if your auction looks very professional as opposed to someone spelling everything wrong. I'm sure the same applies to Craig's List...but then, I think people there are looking for more of a "deal" than what he's offering.
