LF Large Saltwater Fish
 
I'm looking for a large saltwater fish of any kind to cycle a 700 gallon system, bigger the better. I am located in Surrey, BC.
Call or text Kevin @ 6042023781 with fish, size and price.
Thx.

Rather cruel:( throw some table shrimp in there and save the fish from a horrific ammonia filled death

I have a salmon I'd be willing to part with.

Kevin, with a 700-gallon system I imagine you have a significant amount of money invested. Your comments lead me to believe your knowledge is a bit outdated. I hope you have someone knowledgeable helping you out so you can be successful with this larger aquarium. :)

input80 04-05-2014 03:54 AM

would actually like to see pics of your setup Kevin

And can do it without taking the thread off track. Pretty good, huh?

Slyguy00 04-05-2014 03:03 PM

Haha made me laugh

Virual 04-05-2014 03:54 PM

Listen everyone I have been doing this for 15 years I know what I am doing, I currently already have a 450 gallon and a 250 gallon. I will be grabbing used bio from a friend to jump stat this system, the fish I get will not die. The purpose for this system is to import saltwater fish from net caught facilities only and to sell them at wholesale pricing.Thanks for everyones input on how to cycle my system.

Nobody said you didn't know what your doing, they suggested you upgrade your knowledge, because cycling a tank with live fish is harsh

Virual 04-05-2014 04:29 PM

I'm not looking for an argument or a debt on cycling tanks here, I'm just looking for a big fish.

Slyguy00 04-05-2014 04:39 PM

Good luck :)

Hey I checked that out. Those fish pics you have posted, are they for sale right now? If you want you can PM me with details before you decide to never come back to the site after being chased away.

Coral Hoarder 04-05-2014 07:57 PM

Aquattro 04-05-2014 08:09 PM

If your intrested you can check out Net Caught Marined Direct on facebook. Thanks for everyones input on how to cycle my system.

Thanks for the pic! Please don't be turned off by some peoples' lack of control. Forum-based users tend to be harsh instead of providing useful information.

Anyway, I hope you are aiming to sell wholesale pricing to wholesale customers, rather than wholesale pricing to retail customers.

The comments you made in your very first post suggest you want to cycle your tank with a fish, and thus subject said fish to ammonia. That is a cruel and unnecessary way to cycle an aquarium. Fish in ammonia-laden water will be subjected to permanent scarring of their gills also known as ammonia burn.

If you're using "used bio" you shouldn't have any need to add a fish to assist with the cycle. For all that matters, just add a small amount of straight ammonia to the system along with the bio material and you will have your tank cycled without the use of live rock (which I assume is what you're wanting to do).

You could have avoided all this by simply stating, "Looking for large fish for 750-gallon system." :D

I find it funny that people say I am cruel for using a fish to cycle my tank, but most people are buying cyanide caught fish but that's ok that your promoting the poisoning of fish so you can save a few dollars. If people were really conserend about the health of there fish then they need to do some research and stop promoting cyanide caught fish.

Aquattro 04-05-2014 09:18 PM

Please refrain from advertising fish here please.

I find it funny that you could have saved yourself a whole lot of grief by posting your thread correctly ...
If you only wanted large fish to "keep" your cycle alive, why didn't you just post that, instead of offending a whole bunch of us with info that leads us to believe that you will be subjecting fish to an ammonia cycle ?

You say you know how to run large tanks, and plan on running a wholesale outfit ... so why are you posting on a small forum to start with ?

Are you even allowed to post this info here ?

And if you're planning on starting a wholesale outfit, why are you recruiting us when any small/or larger business should be able to start itself without our help in the first place ?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the whole idea here, but I don't like someone coming on here, bypassing the forum rules for vendors, and stating whatever they like

Bah

Virual 04-06-2014 03:06 AM

Thanks everyone for your positive input :)

This thread should provide some useful info for the member doing the study on forums.

Cujo#31 04-06-2014 05:04 AM

Maybe I'm missing the point here.......but if one were to be setting up large tanks for wholesale would they not already have some fish on hand to cycle?

milou 04-06-2014 05:38 PM

Just buy those live fish from T&T tanks. If they die at least you can eat them. You're doing them a tremendous favor, better than swimming in a cramped little tanks.
