Gotta love Craigslist!

[knightnurse14]

I just picked up a 125 galllon 5 year old tank, stand, lights, top, lots of accessories including a nice clean and fill apparatus with 40 feet of hose and a Rena XP3 canister filter, river rock, and several large artifical rock pieces all for $300.00. The tank came from Petco and is 5 years old. It was nasty and stagnant but when I cleaned it up the glass is perfect.
Is that sweet or what?

I just got done talking to some gracious people I found on craigslist. They're selling me their 90 gallon tank, stand, 70+ lbs of LR, corals, fuge with skimmer and pump, heater, circulation fans, coral beauty, mated clowns and 3 assorted fish, and 48" Metal Halide w/ moonlighting for 600. It looks awesome. They're holding it for me until I get back from Texas. I think the lighting itself is worth over 600. Can't wait to pick it up.

I picked up a 40g with stand in almost perfect condition for 30$ on Craigslist. Was very happy

Craigslist rocks but u have to be patient. I have been looking for months. The trick is to go to pets then click on all for sale/wanted. Pulls in everything. Sergie that is a great deal! Congrats!

The last time I tried to buy a tank on cg, the guy called me the day I was supposed to pick it up saying he changed his mind. Then, he asked me out on a date. Like I was actually gonna date a guy who broke my heart by keeping the tank I had my heart set on! Lol.

All my tanks are from Craigslist. I primarily look for a tank with a functional hooded light. I'd rather buy my own filter and heater from Amazon or Ebay.

I been looking for a 120+ tank with stand. Price range for that is < $200.

 

[Sergie]

Some guy up here wanted to trade his 120 with stand for an xbox 360. I almost hit him up for that, but after calculating the cost to buy good lighting (the six foot light I wanted wouldve been around 900) extra Live Rock, sump skimmer blah blah blah, it was not worth it. But I definately thought about it!

Nice deal! What are you going it use it for?

I found a 55 gallon with rena canister filter,stand, heater, cover, all accessories and fish for $125. Real nice set up-except!! I hate ciclids!! Comes with 5 6-7" ciclids, 1 pictus catfish, 1 plecostamus, and some other large bottom dweller. I wanted the 55gallon to put my rainbows in! I will call LFS Tues and see if they will take the fish-if not-back to craigs list I guess. Thing is...the guy doesn't recall the names of the ciclids. One is blue and white, one orange, couple are copper/emerald color. Anyway, I am afraid of them. I am scared to even catch them in the tank! HELP!
Excited for new tank-not these new fish.

Gorgeous tank & great deal! Congratulations!

The Dallas/Fort Worth craigslist is a gold mine... ugh it kills me to go through the listings and see all the great deals, because I live three hours away. There are literally dozens of tanks listed every day! I think I must be a sadist, because I do it anyway. LOL

 

[Clynnking]

Craigs list can be such a temptation! I try not to look there if there is no way I can get something. Its just too distracting- then I start dreaming again....MTS for sure! Will be busy getting mine moved today. I will post pics as I will need help identifying the ciclids and bottom dwellers I want to get rid of...ugh! Not expecting to like ciclids-hope they are easy to sell or give away! Owner said they would sell for $25 each at lfs. May be peacocks? Lab? Will post so I can get help! Fun to find on Craigs list tho!

[Terrance]
