Dude is probably trolling, but so far it doesn't seem like it.

Here is my addition to the list. This guy has listed and relisted this for almost a year and a half. Investment changes from $9k - $12k Wish I posted it back when I first saw it. He wanted $5000 with livestock. The picture was so green, you could not see rock.

It may go both ways though, I wonder If I am just too cheap. I found this on craigslist and my daughter wants to start a tank now (she's 13) so They wanted $80 for this and I offered $50 They were insulted. I just bought her a 20tall at petco for $1 a gallon. Think the 12 is worth the $80? I have the 28 setup at our house and a 65.

seems like you lowballed them pretty good. tank and stand when new is probably around $200-250. i think 80 bucks is reasonable and you offered $50.

I'm selling my nice coral piece. It has been kept in a very clean Biocube for over 2 years.
The white on it is sand.
Bought this coral for $60 2 years ago.

I'm selling it for $30.
Let me know. Thanks

I agree it was a low offer. I didn't want the stand but you cant leave them with a stand for a specific tank. I don't get upset with low offers. All you have to say is no. or Counter offer.

not such a bad deal IMO. It's an aio and has a stand. You won't set up the 20high with this much equipment and a even a pos stand for so cheap.

 

Guy says all his rock is covered in live grass!?And he says he has a "coral bandit shrimp".
I've been looking for a frag of live grass for so long. Sounds like a great deal!

My daughter has a good spot to pick free parts from. Her dad keeps far too much extra fish stuff. She wants zoas and pulsing xenia at this point. I had an aquapod that exploded 8+ years ago. Kept all the parts. Building a wooden top with the PC lights from the pod. 2 MJ600 for flow. Helping her build a Fuge from an old HOB filter. On a dresser......... Really long story shortened is that she has $60 left from christmas and the club frag swap is Jan26th

I wonder if he'll sell me that 113lb rock. It'd take me a year to smoke that %#Q%!())%@$%

 

Smoke it or snort it so you'll finish it quicker.

I am looking for coral frags,clown fish or tangs for my grand kids aquarium. Looking to surprise them with a late Xmas gift. I have purchase the entire 75 gallon setup, just looking for some livestock to help them get started in the hobby. I am looking for anyone willing to donate free or looking to provide a great home to some fish.
