Was I dumb

mec102778 · 06-05-2011, 09:49 PM

So I could have bought a 37G Acrylic Tank with rounded from corners and an Eheim 2133 filter and light for 100$. But they listed it on Craigslist as a 50G Acrylic. I didn't buy. I like the tank the price was crazy though for a used scratched acrylic tank.

I've had my misses too.. good thing is, deals happen quite often

holly12 · 06-05-2011, 11:03 PM

Aww! That sux! Hope you get the next deal!

jrman83 · 06-06-2011, 04:03 AM

My recommendation is to stay off of craigslist.

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 06:44 AM

LOL Ben, Nope I am going today to see about a 50G with everything for 40$. And I didn't miss out on the other one, it was only 37 Gallons with a Canister Filter Not paying 100$ for that. I was expecting it to be a 50 Gallon tank.

jrman83 · 06-06-2011, 07:52 AM

Hmmmm.....are you single now?

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 10:54 AM

HA HA, not yet but I might be after I pick up this 50G tonight.

jrman83 · 06-06-2011, 11:14 AM

I was sort of thinking that too...

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 11:16 AM

Fish addict looking for room mate! Must like fish and have at least 3 tanks.

jrman83 · 06-06-2011, 11:19 AM

So you're saying you may be placing a craiglist ad yourself soon, huh?

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 12:01 PM

HAHA maybe, nah. My wife is ok she likes that I keep fish cause it keeps me from bothering her.

Maybe be angry about the 75G I just got a response about.
75 gallon fish tank/stand and fish for sale

majerah1 · 06-06-2011, 12:26 PM

Wow,you are pushing your luck huh!

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 12:30 PM

Nah, trying to clean up and get rid of all these small tanks. except maybe the 30G which I'd like to try as my first SW setup.

majerah1 · 06-06-2011, 12:37 PM

I see.you know how that will end up.Sure you will start with the big one,then the 30 SW.then one of the others will be QT,then you will think some of the fish will be better in a seperate tank,then you will see more fish you want,then you will find another deal,then you are left alone in a house with so many tanks you wont realize you have been alone for the past month because you are too busy.

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 12:40 PM

HA i was already like that with 2x10G, 1x37G, 1x30G, 1x20G, 1x40G Breeder. Then I added the 100G.

Just added 3 more Chinese Algea eaters and 2 Peacocks to my tank.

WhiteGloveAquatics · 06-06-2011, 01:02 PM

those CAE's are mean little snots, watch out.

My wife is coming around too, infact she let me spend 10 bucks today on a 55g. holds water thats all I care about, some scratches but on the outside and are easily buffed away.

I compromise with the wife alot, she likes the tanks to look at and likes the babies but always complains to hear herself complain when a new tank arrives. I wonder what she's gonna say when the next 3 show up....200g,125g and 100g....its a good thing I got two man-caves.

mec102778 · 06-06-2011, 01:15 PM

waiting to get rid of our room mate so I can make my man cave in the basement.

majerah1 · 06-06-2011, 01:26 PM

See,man I guess I have it good.My husband never complains about my tanks,and enjoys them as much as I do.I encourage a man cave,lol.Because Ill have fun in there too,and I get to paint it how he wants it.As long as he doesnt have to do anything maintenance wise with the tanks,he is ok with as many as I want.

You are so lucky. Even if he didn't like them, we men don't really get much license to complain. We have wives for that...
