****EMERGENCY SALE****

[don-n-sa]

For no apparent reason my new tank just cracked....I am getting out of the hobby...again.

I want to sell this amazing set up ( minus a tank) that was running incredibly smooth...and quiet before this happened.

If you are considering starting up a 125 or 150 then I will make you an amazing deal.

For sale is:
Ace made stand - awesome
Ace made sump....measure later...its awesome
2 sicce return pumps ( super quiet)
160 SWC cone skimmer quiet and works great.
75lbs of super nice rock
150lbs of fresh sand
ATI T-5 light worth about $600
moonlight system with mooncycle
undercabinet t-4 lighting for stand.
brand new Tunze osmolator
Incredible bean animal drain system...most plumbing can be spared due to the use of unions.
Tunzes (2) 6080
Timers and power strips.

make an offer please!!!! all offers considered. I will need help gettting rid of the tank as well.

If the mods need me to set a price then I am thinking the $800 range.

[don-n-sa]

The pic of the sump is on my tank build named dont call it a come back. The skimmer you can google please...I am cleaning the water off my floor right now.

If anyone is interested please call 210-857-7427

If any water got on the carpet, get a floor fan ASAP. I just dealt with the same issue a month ago. Mine went from tile to carpet so I was able to get a fun UNDER the carpet to get the padding dry. Once again, I'm sorry you are going through this.....and take a deep breathe, you will get through it. I know that sounds impossible right now and all you can think of are four letter words, but so long as nobody got hurt and the losses are minimal (as in tank only and not everything under it) things will work out. My tank broke, but I ended up with an amazing rimless because of it. Again, I'm sorry and good luck....and get yourself a 6 pack, or a 12.

[don-n-sa]

Oh and I forgot about the cool boxes on the side of the stand...just to give everyone perspective. I have well over $2000 invested in this, the tank was the cheapest part...now I see why it shouldn't have been.

Thanks...it happened while I was home...on tile and I got the tank drained before a major catastrophe. I was lucky on that part.

Price and model on the sicce return pumps

They are 2.0's I will get part out prices a little later, still cleaning...so glad I was home when this happened.

[Bill S]

Don.... PLEASE reconsider. What the heck, just snag yourself a 6' brick tank, and put it back together.

[don-n-sa]

Thats what Steve said...I know, I was so excited, was going to be adding livestock this weekend. This set up was amazing, so quiet you would of thought it was in- wall. I was already at my limit budget wise. I just dont know. I really wish someone would just buy the whole set up so I can just move on quickly.

[randomfish]

interested in the osmolater lmk

[180reeftank]

i am intere4sted in the rock, sump,power heads

[Sherita]

Don, please don't. I have an extra 6' tank that I won't be using. Please rethink this.

[BBQHILLBILLY]

wow sorry to hear about the tank. The tank glass can be repaired. This happens all the time. I reseal every used tank I get. There are people that can get you a quick turn around.
I just had Forever Pets take my 125 6ft wide tank apart and put back together. Im just about ready for the plumbing. Dont sale unless really want too.
You have some great stuff here. Take a break. If you really want a sw tank you will have it.

[don-n-sa]

Don, please don't. I have an extra 6' tank that I won't be using. Please rethink this.
I do appreciated the offer, if the SMALL chance I do get another tank, it will be new...small chance.

[don-n-sa]

Ok, I have interest in several of the items. I will post part out prices either tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime please post on this thread what you want to be first in line for so we can keep it organized....thanks. I still want to give priority to who wants everything in one package.

[SinisterLou]

I'd like a return pump or both if price is right. Pm me with a price

[Reefer madness92]

can i get the overflow and pump with tubes and please let me have dibs :) pm your price

[Reefer madness92]

didnt see lou call return pump but still would like overflow and plumbing

[BBQHILLBILLY]

It seems difficult to repair a tank but the people that I know make it look easy. Remember if you get a new tank and stand with a warranty thats great but you will have to buy
all the parts at retail cost. Thats a lot of money. You allready have it.... It will make it that much harder to rebuild. and cost a lot.


wait a couple of days and think about it.

[Reefer madness92]

also some rock if 180 doesnt buy it all

Thanks for the advice...I do appreciate it. One thing that I am absolutley 100% sure about is that I am NOT going to re-use this tank. So if you want it...its yours! You already have the old stand that I gave you last month so it makes sense. The only thing is you need to do is organize a pick up....I recommend borrowing suction cups.

Just so eveyone knows, roland needs a different size light...the one I have is a 5ft ATI sunpower 6x80 watt fixture.

[Reefer madness92]

pm us prices so we can see whats open for sale still

[don-n-sa]

I will...I am jumping on here every so often to see if someone wants the whole package, as for the part out prices I still have not decided on those....please understand, this is a hard descision. If someone made an offer for everything that I though was fair, I would take it , then they could make all or most of thier money back if they parted out. When something like this happens...you just want to be done with it quickly.

[Reefer madness92]

i would assume your not asking retail prices since its an emergency sale so im excited, so sorry if i seem impatient its in my nature:) lmk, but id also assume everyone on here has a basic setup already not to bring u down,just being realistic

I can appreciate your concern about me all of the sudden upping my prices when (and IF) I part out...I can assure you that the prices will be fair. Just do a search in my post history on what I have sold on this site, including a 400gal system that I had about 12k invested that I sold for 3500. Hold tight...and once again I am holding putting any part out prices until I give enough time for someone to buy the whole package. Someone could make some money off of this deal, it makes no sense to put the prices before they are for sale.

[Reefer madness92]

holding very tight:bigsmile:

[Bill S]

OK, Don. Take a DEEP breath.

Mods, please close this thread! :shades:

Now, give it a couple of days, THEN think this thru. We've ALL been thru the "uglies".

Starting next week, look for a brick. It might take a few days. But, once you own a brick, you'll never worry about it again.

[don-n-sa]

The thread can be closed for now, but if another member wants to make an offer on the whole package closer to what I am looking for they can still get it. I have one that I am strongly considering...thanks. I am sorry if I am causing any confusion or problems...this is not what I intended. I fully expected to have it sold by now with such a good deal on the table.
no worries reefer...hold tight man. :)

[SinisterLou]

what's the current offer?

[allan]

Don,
Sorry I'm so late. I've removed all the posts that had nothing to do with your sale, lmk if you still want it closed and I will do so when I get to work.

Really sorry your tank went down, Gloria asked me if that could happen to ours. Yep!

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

[Thawk7464]

Sorry here about your tank don if you need any help with cleaning up pm me.

[TexasTodd]

Keep it Don, if you need some tubs for rock LMK. If you do decide to get out after a week or so of chilling, part it out. You lights are worth the $800 you're asking!

[ShAgMaN]

Man, I'm soooooo sorry! I can't believe the bad luck you've had with this set up. The tank was awesome for me, and to hear what happened is disheartening to say the least. I know there was a warranty with it, but not after it's drilled. Was that where it cracked? Sorry I'm late here, but if you need help let me know.

[don-n-sa]

Not your fault man...but I think this tank had some bad luck associated with it. What did you do ...break some mirrors?? JK,:)

I am giving it a week to part out while I cool off like Todd suggested, however if someone makes an offer of $800 I will probably take it.

[JesterGrin_1]

Don I am with a few others. Just relax a bit and say to yourself like the little Engine that could I CAN DO IT :). And if you need help just give me a shout. I have a few Brute Trash Cans if need be. And some 3 Mil trash Bags which work great for a liner for a trash can. :). Oh and a small Truck to carry small stuff Or an Old Land Yacht Suburban and a 16 foot trailer if need be. :) And a Mag 7 and a Mag 9.5 if needed.

[don-n-sa]

So I waited a week...cooled down. I have ordered a new tank. Very sorry for any confusion.

[rrasco]

Haha....awesome. I went through the same motions. What did you order?

[koa25]

Awesome. Glad you changed your mind. Thats good news. Welcome back ha ha.

[reefreak]

Good to see you thought it out welcome back

[BBQHILLBILLY]

Yes glad your back. SW tanks are like art. Once an artist becomes an artist you cant just walk away. Its in your blood.

[350gt]

Good to hear.....

[ElChicano]

Glad to know you changed your mind..
