avalanche1201 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 dont get me wrong sep, I wil be saving the few scraps of money I get to for my tank. But there was no harm in politely (sp?) asking. Link to comment
p.o.t.u.s Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 im a broke college student too. but i save my money man. no offence, but after reading this thread, wouldnt you think twice about asking? AMEN! Link to comment
Six Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Not to come down on you, but he is in business, no? He is there to make money. The water test is a trick belive it or not. It makes you trust him, so when he gets that nice SPS in, and you dont have halide, you will belive him and fork out the cash for it. I wouldnt trust a guy that says 2 clownfish are good for any size tank a week after you set it up. no... it's to get you in the store. you know how much money stores waste on testing every person's water? a whole helluva lot. they just want you in the store so they can help you and recommend items to you to fix your problems. if you arent willing to educate yourself and check your own gd water, well, i think you deserve to pay in the end! LOL. Im a broke college student...so if anyone has any of the following they would be willing to frag out: Evergreen Starburst Polyp White Tip Mushroom Button Polyp Candy Cane Ricordea Blue Mushroom Brain Coral Ill be willing to pay shipping. Ill also pay shipping for anything else that would work well in a 3gal pico, please nothing though that will extend at night and create war on everything in the tank. Thanks for taking the time to read this wth is a white tipped mushroom? none of those would be good together in a 3g pico, IMO. but if you want some free zoas, PM me. The shipping will be a lot b/c the weather, so youre looking at like $50 shipped overnight. PM me and ill hook you up. Link to comment

BrassMonkey030 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 no one has pm ed me yet about the free crap!! get it together. tell the ups man to leave it in back. i will also take your first born. they dont ship well this time of year, double up on the heat pack. Link to comment

LOL. Thats the same deal as I said. Its a matter of building false trust with a customer to win their business. but they have to have you in the store first. its to make you a returning customer. I used to work in one that did that. I was the honest guy that made tanks worthwhile. so i got all the commission. honesty is much better than backhanded-ness. Dont wanna start another argument, that is just what I witnessed firsthand, Link to comment
avalanche1201 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 What Tip Mushroom (Rhodactis sp) altough I may not get it anymore b/c im reading places that they may hurt inverts Link to comment
Six Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 hrm, looks like frogspawn. that would be cool to get but rhodactis like that can get a foot in diameter. not a good pico tank resident unless you did a pico with just that and a pair of sexy shrimp, that WOULD BE SWEET! Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Always wanted sexy shrimp. What are their requirments? same as any shrimp? Link to comment

That would be sweet, with about a dozen sexies Hmmmm! Link to comment
mvite Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 That would be sweet, with about a dozen sexies Hmmmm! I would need a separate small tank to keep them in though---because the last time I had sexies, they were eating my coral. So before you get me all that----please get me a 10gal with live rock and proper lighting. Link to comment

Tentacles Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 no... it's to get you in the store. you know how much money stores waste on testing every person's water? a whole helluva lot. how do they lose money on testing water if they charge to test your water? Link to comment
Six Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 how do they lose money on testing water if they charge to test your water? Well, you've got an interesting lfs, ours all do it free. Link to comment
fscottdahlgren Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'm not really interested in reading through pages of everyone telling you what to do, so if you're still interested in getting more coral let me know. If you want some yellow button polyps, I have a ton. Just pay shipping plus my costs of replacing the LR. Link to comment
allenspidey Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have been waiting for the right time to ask. I thought maybe when it got off topic. I need a M.H. light for my 28 gal. Nothing cheap please. I'm only an insurance agent and can't afford anything. Please be nice. Link to comment
cmador Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 If someone is fragging their Duncan and happen to have a frag leftover, please send it to me. Oh ya, can you please pick up shipping, too. I'm just a poor old landlord. Thanks in advance, cmador. Link to comment
shiveley Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 i'm looking for free cash, bank transfers will also be accepted. anyone with some extra cash lying around should definitely send it to me, as I will put it to good use. also willing to take ownership of misc. jewelry, and/or hot girlfriends/wives. oh, I will pay shipping! Act now and I will take twice the cash for the same low shipping fee! Link to comment
thecowkid Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have one question for all of you that have been rude and unthoughtful. Have you ever been given anything for any tank that you have. I was just looking at my tank and counted that I have only purchased 2 of the 30+ corals that are in it. The rest were given,traded for. Heck I was just given a custom made 135 gallon tank, stand, hood, light, pump, and sump for free. A little kindness goes a long long way. You all should cut wolv2377 a break. Hey wolv2377 if you are ever passing thourgh Louisville, KY send me a pm I will gladly give you whatever I have an excess of. Link to comment
shiveley Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 well then, thecowkid, you would be a price example for us all. give this poor lad half your stuff...and while you're at it, send me some cash as well. charity is, after all, such a noble pursuit. Link to comment
reefone Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have one question for all of you that have been rude and unthoughtful. Have you ever been given anything for any tank that you have. its one thing when someone posts something for free or to trade buts its a whole nother thing to ask for things. Link to comment
allenspidey Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 If I was going to ask for something for free, ok, but to then say you have plenty of money but don't want to pay for your hobby, WTF? I play golf. Maybe I will ask the local club to wave my membership fees this year. Link to comment
