getting out of the hobby for now

jimmybling31 · Mar 19, 2009

I had to decide to get out of the hobby for now. My wife doesn't like how much time and money I am spending on it, I am about to move into a new house where I am gonna have to spend money on other thing and my tank would just be ignored. I am gonna try to sell off as much of the equipment I can on here. I am gonna start a list on here with prices so if you are interested in any of it just pm me and we can go from there.

Lumen bright reflector, aro 250watt ballast, 20k coravue bulb(only used for 2 weeks. 220 dollars

about 20 pounds of live rock with zoa collony on one rock and one rock completely covered in 3 types of zoas. included is a couple zoa frags. 80 dollars

1 frag of cap. 20 dollars (just bought for 26 from donny, just trying to sell it fast.

1 current 24 inch t5 light. 25 dollars

1compact flourescent 30 inch fixture. 25 dollars

2 blue chromis. free with any other purchase

3 peppermint shrimp. 5 dollars a piece

1 cleaner shrimp. 15 dollars

any snails or hermit crabs will go with the rock they are on.

29 gallon tank(when livestock is sold) 30 dollars

75 gallon tank (when emptied of freshwater fish) 130

60 gallon tank, stand, canopy. 80 dollars

maxi jet 900 modded. 15 dollars

maxi jet 400 10 dollars

maxi jet 600 10 dollars

some off brand pump I run a reactor with. 5 dolars

phos reactor. 20 dollars

48 inch compact flourescent fixture with 4 bulbs and moonlights. (can't garantee it, because I think one of the ballasts is starting to go out on it. I changeded one of them out when I got it, but I think the other is going out. if not, it's just a bulb) 50 dollars

please don't try to talk me out of it. I already made my decision. I will eventually get back into the hobby, but I will go for a big tank when I do. I am just gonna skip the small ones. hopefully someone will enjoy stuff and put it to goo use

I could really use the K1 if Rev decides he doenst need it. If not I would like to have one of the MJ 600 for my quarantine tank if still available. Just let me know.

it's still available. it doesn't have the suction cups or anything. it's just a pump pretty much. it works fine though. I used it to run my reactor for a while with.

Don't let a woman tell you to get out of the hobby. Remember, women are just a spare rib, and they are not wise enough to make decisions for those of us with a God-given brain.

Thats why Alex likes boys...

Sorry you NERD had too!

Just moved this under the selling thread so it doesn't get lost in the normal posts.
