The Results - 8LFS in One Day.

Re: The Results - 8LFS in One Day.

The VHO fixture was rough, but Charles at Fish Ranch said it worked. Sanding down the stand and canopy, would more likely be more work than its worth, but its worth taking a look.  The tank looked ok, but was going to need detail cleaning.

When I was in Fish Ranch weeks ago, Charles had said a guy namned Mike had just purchased the store and that the both of them were going to get the store turned around.

I really hope so, used to be one of the better stores around.

I never asked Mike what his price for the tank, was, I just went around looking for sticker.  You know Mike would make deals for people in this forum.

Thanks guys again for the intel on the large tanks, I too was talking with Mike about his 175RR and that's what has got me wanting a larger tank now. I was given the chance to buy that nice tank from Mike at an excellent price, but still could not come up with that kind of money. Even though, I make a pretty good salary, like most folks, I'm just another guy living paycheck to paycheck for the most part.

I will continue to scan the box and craigslist looking for a 210 or better, with a nice stand and tops and lights too. I do not want to spend a wad of cash and then have to go get lids or something else, I am hoping to find a deal on a complete system for about 800.00 tops, but if I was to spend that much, it has to be a very clean, and complete.

Wow, sounds like a really nice tank, I'd like to see it. I'll keep my eye open for that guy.

At that price though, it most likely would not happen, he's about 5 bills higher than my limit, and my limit is really 650.00 or so....but....I'd go up to 800.00 for a really nice tank...

If that was an 8fter it would have been a deal done.

CF,

To find a 210 or larger, very clean and complete for under $800 is going to be like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Best of Luck!

Raul,

I do nto remember.  But didnt have a missing glass top or something?  IT was a nice tank.

He had two different prices one with filters, and one without.

Re: The Results - 8LFS in One Day.

I think one glass had a chip or crack.

Re: The Results - 8LFS in One Day.

Now quit buying tanks and get your damn ac fixed. :)
This is Houston and you must have ac during the whole year. LOL!

Re: The Results - 8LFS in One Day.

Thanks John.

One day when I move from my apartment, all my tanks will be 6ft or 8ft Oceanic Cherry Oak, with Andy Custom Stands, glass tops and Oceanic Cherry Lights Strips.

But that is long way off...just hope there will be good condition ones when that time comes.
