GiantBen Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/for/1025076140.html Looks like it would take a looong time to kill all the crap in there? How hard is it to salvage LR from something like this? If I could salvage the LR and re-sell the tank for anything, I think I come out okay. Link to comment
ZeRo 91 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Whoa!!! I wouldn't even look twice at that! turn around and run!!!! Seriously it only looks like 15 lbs of LR at most your better off buying from your LFS. Just my opinion though. Link to comment
reefinabox Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Wow, that looks more like a FW planted tank than a SW. I wouldn't know where to begin in cleaning up that mess! Link to comment
supreme_spork Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 "The tank is established and comes with all the stuff inside." "I have well over a $1000 in this. Tank another $300. And the time and money spent on getting it just right." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Link to comment
chazde3 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 $1000 into it plus $300 for the tank, must be some pretty expensive caulerpa where he lives. Like the others said, run away, run far away. Link to comment
GiantBen Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah, I was mostly kidding. I saw the posting and couldn't believe they wouldn't of pull some of that crap out before taking the picture. That starfish looks happy though....making scum angels. Link to comment
chazde3 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It's your tank, admit it. You just wanted to see how everyone would react to it before admitting it. Just messing with you. It's a pretty ugly tank. Link to comment
GiantBen Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Actually, I am getting ready to set up my first SW tank, and this is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I have been udgrading the heck out of my BC29 flow and filtration. Link to comment
Marteen Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 for $200 the tank might be worth it I'd give it a look, looks like a Aquapod 24g. I'd dump everything inside save the shrimp, and salvage any "corrals" you could find. Put the LR in a big ass pot and boil it and let it sit outside for a month in the sun so it can bleach. It will be good as new. Oh I'd also fill the entire tank with a vinegar solution and let it sit for a few days just to kill off anything that may be living in the back chambers. See if you can't get him to throw in the stand if it has one. Link to comment
GiantBen Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well, I have no real interest in anything but the LR. I am going to start cycling my tank soon. Thought it might be possible to salvage the LR, clean out the tank and get most of my money back. The cleanup looks like a HUGE nightmare though, and I don't think I wanna wait a month to have the LR. Link to comment
Marteen Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah if you already have a tank pass on it. You can usually get cheap LR on Craigslist or from your local reefers club. Where are you located? Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I wonder how many "corrals" his chocolate chip starfish has consumed? Link to comment
GiantBen Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah if you already have a tank pass on it. You can usually get cheap LR on Craigslist or from your local reefers club. Where are you located? Northern California, Windsor specifically. Link to comment
DBTReefer Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 are there any horsies in the corrals? Link to comment
LeStat2061 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well at least the Shrimp has several places to hide. I mean holy Cr@p how do you let it get that bad i can see why he is selling it want free form the nightmare! As for worth it NO unless it comes with stand and indentured slaves to clean it!
