Leaving The Hobby (Thanks WAMAS!)

PRICES LOWERED for the morning crowd, A FEW ITEMS ADDED

 

New prices are in red.

 

Well, money is a little tight right now, and I have decided to get out of the hobby entirely. I have been going in this direction for several months now. For those of you that remember me, I was a member here for a year and got a chance to meet a lot of good people. I had to move the tank from in the wall to the basement, got rid of a bunch of livestock at the time, and have only the live rock a female percula, and a canary wrasse. I have enjoyed the hobby this second time around, and I hope that at some point, I will go at it a third time. Unfortunately, I can't even begin to imagine when that is.

 

A couple of pictures can be found in this album I just put together: (sorry they are so bad, I didn't even think my camera worked, and then after ten minutes, it didn't. And, I am just no good with digital. Also for my loss of posting skills)

A couple of notes:

 

1)One Tunze 6045 has an algae free magnet as the outside magnet, you can buy the Tunze replacement on ebay, the outside magnet is in my wall, though, haha.

2)Please PM me and I will respond as quick as possible. If for some reason you prefer email, I can be reached at edge102@aol.com.

Pictures?

 

The only pictures I have right now are those in my tank build thread found HERE.

 

I don't have a camera right now but can try to get more over the weekend.

 

Edit: Link didn't work for some reason, it is at the following URL

whats the size on that sump?

 

I believe it is 24 X 13 X 14 (L X W X H). I have somebody who is interested, but they can't pick up until next weekend. Let me know if you are interested, and I can ask if they can definitely commit to picking it up then. I would feel bad if I didn't ask and get their O.K. or commitment to buy before potentially selling it to somebody else.

 

Also, I have a rubbermaid 12g container to include with the RO/DI.

Time to sleep. I would prefer to have more of this money in hand before I buy plane tickets to visit some family between Christmas and new years. With that in mind, I have lowered prices for the morning crowd. I am thinking the less hassle, the better. Thanks guys, I will respond to your PMs and emails as quickly as possible.

I am interested in the Octopus skimmer. PM on its way :clap:

 

PMs replied guys. I have to step out for a little bit. For those of you already with my cell, you can reach me on that and I will be around to meet you. Otherwise, I will respond to PMs via blackberry. Thanks so far all.
