If you're not going to buy it, keep your comments to yourself.

What a bunch of trolls.


The seller (who is not even the owner of this tank) is just trying to do someone a favour by posting it and the suggested price was what the owner of this tank wants for it.
It may not be a tank that you would buy, and that's fine, but someone out there might be interested in the custom dimensions. Also the price is OBO.

Next time you post something for sale and someone comments on how "it's a bad deal../ it's too old.../I've seen it for cheaper.. /it's a piece of junk..." remember what goes around comes around.

*end rant *

From the buy/sell rules:

Their not trolls, their helping people realize this system is way out of date and not right for anyone (this is a good thing not a bad thing for the hobby).

They don't want someone spending that kind of money on equipment that should be thrown out. Only the tank/cabinet and empty sump has some value to someone who needs a skinny tank, and that's worth "used" maybe $1500 not $3500. Trying to dump all that other garbage on someone is bad for the hobby.

Lol... touché.

Thanks for bringing up the rule about posting from other forums, didn't actually know about that one.

BCA is not a reef forum. The saltwater section on it is pretty sad compared to canreef. Mostly a buy and sell.

Anyways, just posted my first response based upon the negativity of the posts. Since I know the person trying to sell the tank, I was just clarifying the situation since he does not have a canreef account and cannot speak for himself. He's just trying to do a buddy a favor, which is within the rules, I think.

Again, if you don't want to buy it, then don't. I wasn't telling people not to talk about it at all, far from it. Just tone down the negativity.


Peace.

This thread was destined for negativity the moment it was posted. The poster isn't selling, so it's more of a "hey, go look at this" type post. And frankly, most of the comments are accurate. While it is certainly a nice cabinet, that's where it ends. I suppose this should get moved to the lounge.

Thumbs down

I know someone who had to do the weekly maintenance on this monstrosity. Not only was 'White' Fake coral doomed from the start but the tank was a bitch to clean!! I'm not going to mention the airport would not give him local access to water and cleaning room, so lets just say, wheeling a 30gal bin of water up and down the entire main terminal was a joke. Oh and have you ever tried to go through airport security with steps, bins and cleaning/maintenance supplies!!! Even though he went through every week, security still seemed to forget why he had all this stuff with him!!!

This certainly gave aquariums a bad rep! Oh and being in the perfume section with fans pulling into the aquarium, the store staff could'nt work out why their fish kept dying!! Fans turned round to help.....abit
