Dropped a 265

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
This is why I won't help anybody that buys a used tank from me. When I sell a tank, the buyer must bring his own help, and pay me in full before lifting it off the stand. And he's warned in advance, "if you guys break it, no refunds" period. But I also bring my own guys with me when I've bought my tanks too.

I had hoped he would have taken more than he did and It took some negotiation on both of our parts. At first he thought I should just have paid him the full amount without anything extra which was clearly unaceptable. At this point I told him we were just going to take it off the truck and leave so he demanded $200 since I was moving the tank when It broke. After quite a bit of negotiation I got an extra filter large piece of wood a tub of powdered declorinator and 140 off. While this was far from ideal, he didn't seem too keen on just letting me go and him soaking up the total loss. It put the both of us in a bad situation but I should have time to try to fix it tomorrow and Tuesday. I'll be trying GE silicone since a lot of people have recommended it on here.

So I tried several times today to take a picture in different lighting. Apparently a chip in glass is not an easy picture to take, but this one is the best I could find and happens to have my index finger in it for size comparison. Looking back I wish I had of just dumped it on him however I don't feel that would have been right and feel almost reasonable compensation. Keep in mind, in my area there aren't the deals you see on the west coast or even in the Northeast, especially on a tank of this size. I could have gotten a much better deal on a 220 b/c they show up more but I had my heart set on a 265. I looked into getting some GE II today from home depot like many suggest however on the tube it says they do not recommend using it for aquariums. This scared me away to spend 3x as much per tube buying Aquaeon brand from the LFS.
