Crazy Craigslisters.....Hard to believe

[Cashlaw]

About the OCD seller . . .

Nice looking tank, but who does he expect to put up with those rules and conditions? A deposit??? Waiting several days??? It wouldn't take more than an hour to break down the tank and sump.

40 gallon tall fish tank glass. Comes with larger powerful air pump, lid trickle filter, powerful overated canister filter (this is $200 alone), heaters, gravel, driftwood, stand, canopy (canopy has built in filter), bright white aquarium lighting.

This was put together 6 months ago, and then taken apart. Everything is brand new. Dont go spend $1500+ on this system...I am offering it at less than half the cost.

Very Unique top quality 90 gallon aquarium show tank w/ rainbowfish (Excelsior Springs)

Date: 2009-07-27, 5:34PM CDT




This is not your ordinary aquarium, this is a show tank with all the top quality everything. Has a triple light with 3 specialty flourescent bulbs: blue, colormax, and regular white light to bring out all color vividly. 2 great filters, one a near new emporer 400 multi level filter, 2 power heads with undergravel system, 2 HUGE castles cost over 250.00 new. One is a ceramic about 20 inch tall castle. one is by penn plax, and is about 2 1/2 feet long. Bubbles come out of the castle powered by a huge near new air pump with a power failure battery backup built in. Has a UV sterilizer that was 180.00 with another pump, so NO algae, NO sick fish! , a big nice magnetic algae scraper and other small extras too. A stealth unbreakable heater. A collection of male Rainbowfish that look like saltwater fish including turqoise, emerald, orange, 2 new guinea reds, boesmani. And 2 rare sharks with red and white that were 40 bucks a piece as well as an albino pleco, and about 10 other fancy colorful healthy fish. This is a top of the line system. With solid oak stand Selling for 800.00, I have over 2500.00 into it! Yeah you can get a cheap tank but this is a real showpiece and you wont have to spend another penny. 816-***-**** The color in these pics is real- it is due to the expensive lighting and crystal clear water! great tall plants

Although not Craigslist, someone on the Toronto Kijiji was selling a "Giant fish tank" which was a 10 gallon waterhome, and another person asking 200.00 bucks for a 20 gal with an oscar, pleco and filter (no heater).

___________________________________




I also like the ads where the person has a "double filter" (ie penguin 350 or emperor 400)

because putting the intake in the middle of the filter instead of at the end somehow makes a difference.


Ads that list the height of the tank and stand combined, instead of both or just the tank height annoy me.
