My Best Ever Craigslist Deal! What's yours?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My 180 came off CL I bought it for my cypho colony but the problem was it was a full functioning saltwater reef setup and the guy wouldnt just sell me the setup without the stock so I called the guy I new that worked at a pet store and he said the owner would agree to what ever I would get in store credit for everything I brought them he would give me cash for so this is what I got all for $400 and what I made back for money that same day

180 gallon tank with stand lights hoods heater and 2 fx5's

190 pounds of live rock
7 yellow tangs
Emperor angel
Queen angel
2 desjardini sailfin tangs
Picasso trigger
Keyhole angel
Flame angel
20 assorted damsels
Pair of clarkii clown fish
Naso tang
Zebra eel
achilles tang
And a Hawaiian black trigger I believe
All in all I got 1300 for all the saltwater crap I had to take and I ended up selling the stand cause I made my own and sold that for 200 so I actually made 1100 dollars and got my tank by far my best deal I've ever come across

I don't have pictures but I have video of the fish in the tanks. I used that 100g plexi instead of mine on there stand. I currently use it for a growout tank for some Angels and lemonfin barbs. Didn't use the wetdry setup. The 120 has been setup as a plant tank you can see the vids in my YouTube link below..
 
Not a craigslist deal but got a 200g plexi with absolutely no scratches for free. Saw it in front of some guys yard one night driving home.
 
Complete 55 gallon with metal stand for $30. Seller was moving and needed everything gone.

That's tough to beat lol
 
I live in KC and contacted the guy in St Louis about the 700 to get dimensions yesterday, before I saw this thread. Asked dimensions and he just said 10.2 ft. Nothing else. Wrote him back to get more info and no response. The ad says he is moving and needs to get rid of it. The wife said I can get it! If he is moving I will get my lowball out and see what I can do. I figure if I get it for a grand it will cost me 5 bills to get it here, so I will still spend 1500. Thank you Katie! Egon, what did you find out when you emailed him? AZ is a LONG way from St Louis.
