Planning on parting out my system
 

Hello everyone,
I have recently moved from my office job to one in the field and am forced to bring my nano tank home. The problem is, I don't really have a place to put it, my better half isn't thrilled about having an aquarium in the house again, and I am considering the idea of restoring an old motorcycle. The last time I listed my system for sale, I got lots of interest for individual components but no takers on the whole setup. If you are intersted in something, post it or send a PM and I will keep your name, if most of the system gets spoken for, I will start contacting people. Thanks everyone.

:(

Would you be willing to part out with the Refractometer alone?

Scott,
Ya, if no one wants to buy it along with the other things, I would sell it for $30.

I have a couple PMs but can't check them because of a glitch with the board. I got this message:
There seems to have been a problem with the Canreef Aquatics Bulletin Board database.

Update,
Well my PMs are working again. The livestock has already been spoken for and the filter/refract/tds meter has been spoken for as well.
Thanks for the interest.

cube.........
 

Hi Chad , Sorry to hear the famous cube is to be broken up :( :(
But life goes on ! Best of luck in your field position.
Off topic ,but what bike are you intending to restore . I was into bikes in the U.K. years ago.................Dave.

Dave,
Thanks for the sentiment. You may think this a bit strange but I would really like to restore a 1970-1979 Honda cb550 four. I know that it isn't exactly a hot collectors item but it was the first motorcycle that I ever owned and I have started to feel a little nostalgic. Infact, I have managed to track down the current owner of the exact bike that I owned when I was 14 (15 years ago now) ( :
You might have been more interested in the 1969 BSA 441 Victor that I bought from a friend's uncle (for $100) when I was in high school. I should have just kept all of my cool stuff instead of selling it! Infact, my wife is worried that if I sell the aquarium it will just end up costing more money because I will eventually change my mind and want to buy all the stuff over again when I get back into it. I exercised my right not to comment for fear of incriminating myself ( :
Cheers,

Bike.........
 

Hi Chad, Just checked out the BSA 441.on the net , looks a pretty cool machine ,a collectors item now ! I used to ride A.J.S. and Matchless twins[that kind of dates me :) :) ] You may need to look them up on the web .
I know what you mean about the first bike that always has a nostalgic pull.
Can you still get the parts for the Honda ?
I suppose this should be in the lounge !!
Dave

Fish, I'd be interested in the topoff system, if not already spoken for. :biggrin:

Dave,
That is awesome. I am familiar with Matchless but only from reading. It doesn't really date you - unless you drove the very first one off the showroom floor ( :
There are a ton of these still kicking around and aftermarket parts are available as well. Starting to get pricey though.
