Super tank package

[FrontosaurusRex]

i'm just Fing with you, dude. Its in my blood to goof around. No worries.

[eklikewhoa]

Peter, just because I'm able to take care of business and find plenty of time in life to give you guys a hard time doesn't mean you have to hate.

[eklikewhoa]

FR, I had replied to your previous reply and hoped that you saw it before everything was edited.

I asked for it to be edited to remove my remarks as well as everyone elses in hopes of keeping it civil.

Most of my replies you ask about are not in the sale section.

All the people that had something to say about my asking price was either ignorant to what the stuff cost new or just wanted to comment. Funny thing is most of those were people who have made similar comments in previous sale threads that they never showed any interest in.

Lets not get into the whole "fair" deal cause there are tons of things that "should" have been done to be fair but was not on several accounts.

Dude, I dunno if this donkey has enough time to do all the crap that he talks about AND spend this much time on here. Just kiddin quoc...you drink. It's cool. At least he keeps it interesting.... he's harmless in person

[FrontosaurusRex]

so can we start deleting you from our threads when you get on there and blab about eating things, and getting drunk? Only seems fair to me.

[eklikewhoa]

Hey D, can you go through and delete all the off-topic stuff for me?




Done per your request.

Getting out the hobby then? Seems like our numbers are dwindling.
:(

Aquatics have always been part of my life since I was a kid. Always taking a break for those things in life that are just more important but always coming back twice as strong!

For those that asked where I got the $3600 figure......


Retail -

-AGA with modern black cabinet (note this is not the Custom Oceanic stand I have which cost more) $833.34
- Pro-Clear 300 with prefilter (mine is a custom Sapphire Aquatics overflow)$350
- Mag9.5 $99- Eheim 2262 (price does not include 18L of Eheim substrat pro which is like $200 on it's own.) $584ea.
- Coralife Aqualight Pro 72" (Mine has been upgraded to freshwater viewing with the 8000k MH bulbs and the 4x 6700k bulbs)$1214.00
- Ecotech Vortech Mp40w $420 ea
- IceCap Battery back up $165
- Rancho single stage temp controller $99 ea.
- Jager heater 250w $31.99
- 160lbs of Eco-Complete $19.99 x8
- 48 Tropheus M'toto ....... try finding them.
- Eheim air feeders $39.99 ea

All prices are taken from Amazon.com

This comes out to about $5600 retail not counting the onslaught of other little things I did not calculate in to this figure. Like the food mix was about $200 to make or the fact that the tank price does not include what it cost for the Custom Oceanic stand which you will not find in stores or online.

Or how 4x 96w 6700k bulbs is $160 alone.

So I am asking a little more then half of what it would cost retail but you get a lot more then what you would if you bought new since it is all up and running and configured to be functional.


So for those that can't do the math or have never looked into high end equipment (peterp63) this is what it would cost you to get what I have but yet still not be up and running.

Hell if you guys want to buy me some Bulu's I would give fry away.


I had initially planned on getting all that was available but I need some sort of guarantee for at least DOA.

[TaTeR ToT]

speaking of red bulus, i have been saving for a colony of those, if the chance ever arose to purchase them locally, i have ~$3900 how many does that buy?
i will totally get my brother in laws 125g rr for something like that.
but that will leave me with like $3000 for the fish.
and i am not extremly experiencd with petros, so i dont know if it would be good/smart to start with such a demanding petro

i have kept texas kipili, moshi, and trews, but they were singles,
i have kept 5 different colonies of trophs and that went well.
so i dont know.
does anyone know howmany mike can bring in?
i would probably want something like 1m:7-9f.

[TaTeR ToT]

EE, I think the same thing when you sell your stuff after a month or two.

hey!
i have had my 125g for almost 8 months

i only thought of selling it that one time because i was starting school full time, was having problems with chronic migranes, and the light from my tanks hurt head like a SOB!
and i was considering moving out to an apartment in the sugar creek apartment complex near jones and west rd, and didnt want to have to move the tank that far.
as for all the other sh** i sell, well thats the work of something called a.d.d.

but lets not spam ek's thread, i know how annoying that can be

[Nickintex]

WTH!? why you selling your setup?
