FarmChickSlim Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So, years ago I decided I was going to start a tank! Saved up, dog got sick, vet bills = starting over. Saved again, daughter was born, hospital bills = starting over. Found a used tank on FB, driving an hr to get it, get a message while I'm on my way, they sold it to someone else. Find another tank on Craigslist, guy flakes. One day, I'll get my tank, and I'm ready! Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmcbane200 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Ah man sorry to hear that. I know upscales always sells used tanks for a good price and Travis is pretty awesome guy. You can find some great deals on here too. Let us know what we can help with on the forums. Great bunch of guys here.

FarmChickSlim Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I was hoping to find a 30-40 gallon tank. (I'm partial to Innovative Marine, but not picky). Skimmer, wave maker, LED lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I talked to him about a week ago he said he was going to be gone starting this weekend I think. Not sure for how long or where. I think he was also a member on here so maybe dog through the old classified threads and send him a pm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmChickSlim Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 I am from Central, WA. I was hoping to get a tank before my daughter's birthday, so I've been open to driving, so long as it's a time I can get help with my kiddo. Crossing my fingers! Thanks for the heads up!

timfountain Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have a <1 year old JBJ 29G nano, JBJ stand, skimmer, LED lights (both intermediate and advanced LED hoods), wavemaker etc. I will post it on here soon but for now it is up on Portland CL for $300, which is <25% of what paid for it. I can send pics on request. It would be a great beginner tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
