Gotta feed the addiction slowly - just a few gallons at a time!
Adam
This is slow Adam...come on, immerse yourself :D
I had a guy call me a month ago offering a 125G with all the filters for a Franklin unit. I had to decline as my boss here said "One tank! She is starting to really like the fish so there may be a softening in her position over the next few months!
Good luck and have fun with the 75!!
Hope you got a good deal on it! People around here ask way too much!
Just waiting for a few more sons to go out and make it in the world - and then I can have a fish room!Quote:

All I want is the tank - I will build my own stand and certainly don't want the POS accessories that they have -- way over priced stuff on Craigslist. That's why I jumped on this.Quote:

Hi Adam. Just wanted to post in your homestead. But on a related note I got my whole setup off of craigs list, and I'm pretty sure I should have paid less.
$500 for:
1 x 125 gallon tank and stand
2 x magnum 350 canister filters with all the necessary hose lines
2 x standard airpump with airstone strips
2 x run-of-the-mill powerheads
4 x run-of-the-mill aquarium heaters
1 x lighht fixture that runs four 65w fluorescents (but I had to buy and replace the ballasts myself)
A few different sized nets, some spare parts
Various and sundry other items that i don't use.
So, do you think I did okay or would you say I overpaid? Just curious.
Sounds like you did OK - depends on the age of the tank, filters canisters, and lighting. All in all - that a good amount of stuff - a good deal is one that makes you happy. Since this one's done - I'd say you got a good deal!

Hmmmm, I feel better about it now. Not that I was totally freaking out or anything, jusdt thought I shoulda offered him say $350 or $400. But I'm pretty happy with the setup. Thanks for the opinion :)
Soooo, you posted this in regard to a 75 gallon tank you picked up....I gotta ask, how many tanks do you NOW have? And what are there sizes?
I have the 75, a 55, a 29 and a 10 hospital tank. Only the 55 currently has anything in it.
