Nothing but bad luck

Hey every one, so i'm giving up on the aquarium trade for a little time. I recently bought a used 75 gallon tank. but as i was transporting it to my home a huge truck drove by and threw up a big rock that shattered the tank.

My bit of bad luck, so i decided to buy a new 72 Gal Tank. Everything was great until it arived at my home with a few chips out of the side. Another wrecked tank. The company said they can have another tank to me some time in a month or two.

SO i figured maybe right now isn't the right time to set up a tank.

I have bought a few items for sale the haven't used yet. They are all still in the boxes. (Brand New)

I have:

48" Oceanic PC 110watt light unit $150

36" Custom SeaLife PC 96watt smart bulb in a metal hood $150

250Watt Ebo-jager Heater $25

Mag Drive 700 Pump $75

i also have one spare 55watt PC bulb 10K $30

I hope these prices are fare if you would like to contact me regarding these items please PM me.

Thanks

I would have to agree with reef raff. Ever since I got into this hobby I've been spending alot less on partying.

I dont know who's lovin this hobby more me or my liver

The liver, not your bank account.

Sorry to hijack the thread. I sent the link for the thread to my friend - he is just setting up his tank and may need some lights etc.

Good luck next time man
