Score!!! Patience pays!!!!!

As some of you know, I have been diligently trying to find a good used chiller for my 150. I almost settled several times, but I am glad I waited. I really wanted a 1/3 hp but thought it would be way out of my budget. Then I found an Old man listed his JBJ 1/3 chiller for 500.00 (This retails for about 950.00) It was only 3 months old. He started a saltwater and the Diatom bloom totally turned him off so he sold everything-I negotiated the chiller for 400.00----Sweeeeeet!!! Such a relief now I dont have to worry about heat this summer. Also can upgrade to Halides!!! Does it ever end????-Thanks to everyone that was trying to help me find a chiller!!

 

Sweet score man, on the question "Does it ever end?" Um yeah when you die other than that this is a bottomless money pit of a hobby I've found... welcome to the addiction

 

Thats kinda what I thought!!

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

lol i agree with them guys, it seems like it never ends. But for some reason i have a blast dishin out cash for this hobby.

 

Wierd isnt it??? I would have a real hard time spending the money on other things. But when it comes to this, it's like you loose all your senses and just hand it over!!! Then once your in for a few grand, you have to protect it or keep adding no matter what the cost. Wow I am in the wrong business!!!!!

 

Congrats on the chiller. You may as well quit counting your debt or you wont make it in this hobby. LOL. All this cash and I could of restored my cars, but the wife is easy to get money from when it comes to tanks.

 

+1 on above
we consider it an investment

Amen to that--I knew this going in, I commited to do this thing full force no matter what the cost...I even work a part time job a couple of nights a week just for this hobby!!!!

 

I suppose the rule of having patience doesnt necessarily apply only to whats in your display, huh? Good find!
