Lobster tank FOR CHEAP!!

[funman1]

Right now there is a Lobster tank, complete with sump, chiller, THICK tank, pumps, stand, ect...
It came from a Red Lobster (You know where you get to pick out your own fresh one in the lobby)

It's over at Aqualife right now and they are only ASKING $100.00 for THE ENTIRE SETUP!!

Now if you wanted to setup a cold water reef, so you could get cool stuff from the Cali coast and have it, This is your time!!!
The glass is super thick so it won't condense water on the outside when the tank is like 55 degs..

My wife would KILL me at this point if I bought it, but the massive chiller in there alone is worth WAY more than that!!!!

I would guess on the tank size to be about 150-200Gs But that's a total guess, I don't have the size specs..

That is an awesome price. There was a similar tank listed on CL last summer for $800. That is a very good price.

I just called em... I call dibs!

I have been looking to set up a pacific tank - all that diving and nowhere to host some new friends from the West coast.

Thanks for the heads up Steve!

Sorry Mike,

Just talked to Kyle. Going to get it now!

 

[funman1]

That's awesome Mike!!!
I was hoping you'd get it.. You are one of the few that could afford the electric bill on that baby

 

[kdblove_99]

shoot i went off and started doing stuff and forgot to say i was kidding

 

[MrMikeB]

Talked to Kyle - its got some minor issues, and they are not certain the owner is going to sell sell it - but am on top of the list.

I figure I would run a Pacific tank in the winter, and eat the inhabitants in the summer and covert it over to a tropical reef until winter.

FYI for all of you who were thinking about setting up a local tank, it is against the law to move a fin fish in the live condition from where it was caught or collected to ANY other place. The law came about for a couple of reasons most notably the introduction and spred of pikes and snakeheads in fresh water, but when fishing the officers check and it is a big fine as well as losing any and all equipment used to transport the fish, this includes live bait. You can look it up on the fish and game laws website, see section 1.63 and its supplements, 4.00 to 4.30 and 230, but it includes all fish fresh or salt.

I love snakeheads. Owned a few when i did freshwater. Had a Aurantimaculata. That had to be about the best looking fish i have ever owned that includes even saltwater

Laws suck. Can I get an Amen?

Laws were made to be broken

Yes, my name is Steve and I don't pay $0.99 per song or $17.00 for a cd.

I purchase all my music online in Russia, and pay in Rubles, so I only pay $0.07 per song and like $1.30 per CD


Sometimes there are ways to "Bend" rules

The interesting thing with an ocean fish... Let's say you caught one and put it into your tank for awhile, and then decided you didn't want it anymore so you put it back in... the OCEAN!

Now, what might this fish in a new OCEAN locale be capable of doing to the native fish population?

No harm, no foul.

 

[philter4]

The problem with that is that if you contaminate it with a disease that native fish aren't able to cope with. I don't know of it actually happening with fish, but it has happened with reptiles, the desert tortoise is an example, well meaning people bred them and then released well started young back into the wild which caused a huge die off of wild adults because of a virus carried by the young from captive african tortoises that were kept with or near the baby desert tortoise. It is remote, but it has happened.
