WTS: Giving Up Hobby

[chewvarntet]

Have used 2 years to decide to give up Marine Fish hobby. I've spent more than 20k to acquire the knowledge and skill but only after a few years of enjoying the beautiful fish and corels, my work doesn't allow me to continue the hobby. Now selling off everything, including spare equipments. The tank conditions is excellent, zero ammonia and zero nitrate (yes,not nitrite, not a typing error), corels opened widely and Star Polyps spread and grow on the rock, the only Orange-Striped Trigger fish lives for 2 years till now without any feeding solely sustained by the living organisms in the tank. And most marvelous of all, green plants sprout out from the rock and grow in the tank. When I told my friends who are advance hobbyists, they responded "You sure that is not algae?"

The sand is 10cm thick so that the top level will encourage bacteria that will break down waste to ammonia and to nitrite and lastly to nitrate. And the bottom oxygen starving layer will encourage bacteria that break down nitrate. So this is a mature tank which is ready for your corels and fish to 'move in'.

I'm selling off everthing cheap at 2.5k, payment need to be made before collection. You need to arrange your own people to move the tank which is big and heavy. I'll co-ordinate the shifting with you.

Sorry for the fish tank photo, no time to clean the tank, so can't see the beautiful rock structure.

First come first served, the first one to email me will seal the deal. (Email:varntet@singnet.com.sg)

[kuay5]

May i ask what do you use your Tiger Shark Float cleaner for?

[chewvarntet]

Hi to all, don't mistaken, I'm selling everything for 2.5k, the prices listed there are for reference only (roughly). I'm not going to sell individual item, the prices are just to show that all the things add up is about 6k.

[chewvarntet]

Want to sell fast, please email me (varntet@singnet.com.sg) your best offer, will try to meet your price, but will not split up the package.

[babareef]

We hear your intentions but maybe you will scare off potential buyers.

Just my personal opinion.

[chewvarntet]

After using the Tiger Shark Float cleaner, I took some photos to show the conditions of the tank. Please ignore the algae, for that's the result for not maintaining the tank for 2 years. Hope to sell by this weekend, so will sell to the highest offer before Sunday midnight.

The photos are: Star Polyps grown on rock, plants sprout from the rock, Orange-stripe Trigger Fish & Octopus Corel.

[chewvarntet]

Anyone? Will consider to sell even at low price, coz need the space before 2011. Some of the items still new-in-box and the rest in very new condition.

[chewvarntet]

Thanks for all the enquires, but wish to sell the items as a complete set.

[JizzHut]

If not selling as a package Im interested in the algae cleaner thanks

[chewvarntet]

Mature tank with zero nitrate, ready-to-move-in conditions, for corels and fish tank, saves you hundreds and thousands if setting up a new tank.

[chewvarntet]

Selling everything at 1.5k!!!

[chewvarntet]

Last try, everything at $1,000!!! First come first served!!!

Please arrange your own transport for the tank, ready to move in conditions for fish and corels.
