Toying with the idea of taking a break from the hobby

[Crit21]

I'm considering getting out of the hobby for a while. Between working full-time, running a business, and family commitments, it's taking more time than I can afford at the moment.

I'm gauging interest in the sale of my stuff. I haven't decided to sell, but I figure $1,500 cash would motivate me to sell. Everything is currently very healthy.

This would be an all-or-nothing deal. No parting out.

Send a PM if interested.

You could also try putting up a flyer in the LFS'S.

I said "toying", but thanks for the encouragement. Sheesh.

Actually, I have received some PMs in case I actually sell.

To all who've made cash offers, I sincerely thank you, but please note above where I said I was considering selling, and had not yet decided. If I do commit to selling I'll let you know directly.

On an unexpected note, my wife, who often complains, "You spend more time with your aquarium than with me!", seems to be encouraging me to keep it.

lol mine did the same when i talked about getting out of the hobby. I was going to scrap my 12 and ended up with a 40 all her idea. Took her with me to get salt the other day and ended up with 100$ in corals. i didnt even know she got them untill the guy at exotic (dont know his name) told me what i owed.
