Hey Bill,

Sorry to hear about your situation. I don't have the space or cash but if you need a hand to clean it up I would be glad to lend a hand to help with some maintenances.

I dont think your price is too high at all. I think the biggest problem is the time of year. I know you dont want to part the system out but it may be the best way. Perhaps an on-line sale of all the items listed and have it on the condition that until the majority is sold the stock is to stay in place. Maybe some of the senior members can make some suggestions. I wish I had the cash and the space and it would be a slam dunk. The only other thing I could suggest and would definately be a last resort would be to see if a pet store would be interested, but I think you would take a big hit on the system.
Wish I could give you a really great idea, but I dont see any at this point.
Good luck..Darryl

I agree it's probably to do with timing. The price is good. The set-up is sound.

As I said in my pm, I'd be more than willing buy some items off you if you do decide to split it but wont be around much until end of Feb.

I could probably use the most of the hardware & live rock but would need some help finding homes for some of the fish & inverts.

If anyone could help out let me know.

Bill, let me know what you decide...

Also, good to see so many Chilliwack reefers out there too. Seems like I moved to a reef-lovin' town

I've spoken to Bill a few months ago and it is very difficult for him to part out because of his RSD. With people visiting him to get one item here and there will cause his condition to flare up. I believe this is the reason he needs or wants to sell it together.
Bill
I can't imagine the pain you are going through right now. I hope things work out for you. I believe the price is good but its just a bad time of the year for this. Good luck

Hi Chin,

That's why I'll need a helping hand...

So I and whoever can help out, can get together & do everything in one go rather than people visiting for weeks on end picking up items here & there.

My Situation is this:

- I'm shopping for a reef set-up.

- I'm not around much between now & end of Feb so can't take the whole tank, set it up & have everything fully running until then.

- I wanted to build & design my own system but I also want to help Bill out & so I've changed my mind & could design my set-up around his system instead.

- I could probably take most of the kit & live rock & get it up & running temporarily but, I wont be able to look after fish & inverts until after Feb.

- I'm also new to Canada so I don't know many people well enough to have helping hand with logistics & lifting.

Other than that, I would help Bill out right away.

If anyone can help out let me know,

VFX.

bill I'm sorry to hear about your illness, it's really sad to hear about these things.....

I want to help out with dismantling the tank and moving it VFX if you're going to take the set up or anyone that is thinking of buying this please let me know. I will do all I can by spreading the word in the mean time I hope that the pain goes away.

sincerely Chris

I feel really bad for you, I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to not be able to do things you used to be able to do. I hope people in BC are able to help you out. I think the price is great, just a bad timing. Good luck to you

justinl · #9 12-27-2007, 06:27 PM

If someone decides to get the system, I would love to take some birdsnest and green cap.
