    Saw a craigslist ad in my area that was titled "fish tanks" Inside it said "Fish tanks from 10 gallons to 300 gallons. Many accessories and parts. CHEAP!
    Please email or call me for further info: "

    So i called him up and asked what he had and apperently he had a fish store that went out of business. He's done with the stuff and wants it gone. he has a 80 gal SW set up with rock, fish, mushrooms, sump, stand lights, everything (didnt get details i was too excited) he said $500 for that or soemthing to keep him busy, so i offered him my little 12 foot sea nymph boat that i never use and he said hell yeah. so looks like ill hopefully be leaving with that and if his prices are as low as he says im going to grab some other tanks, and skimmers, and whatever else hes got.

    I'll let you guys know how it goes. I have 5 hours before i meet up with him.

    Turns out the guy didnt take care of his stuff.
    His 80 gal, hadnt had a water change in 6 or 7 months, and the pump went out in the sump at the same time so had no protein skimmer working. The water was nasty i have no idea how his tube nem was still alive. There was some WIERD things living in the tank.. Things i've never seen before.

    He has a way cool 300 gal FW tank with some massive large mouth bass and crappy.
    That was really rad.

    Oh well it seemed too good to be true, and it was..
    Gotta keep my eyes open.

    No wonder he went out of business.
