Hi all. I will be listing both Hardware and Livestock in this one thread, as I'm looking to sell the set-up complete ideally, but I will split it if I can get offers for all the Livestock and most of the Hardware. Obviously, hardware cannot go until the fish have. :no: The combined Livestock and hardware thread has already been OK'ed by BigC, as has a link to this thread form the livestock sub-section (thank's BigC).

I'm going to list each item/fish(es) separately to help if I split the set-up, and place the amount I'd like for the full set-up at the bottom...

The set-up as it is, looks like this;

Note, while offers are noted next to items of equipment, I would still prefer to sell this complete. I will take up offers once I have offers on enough livestock to make splitting the tank set-up down worth the while. It is available complete until I take the decision to break down the tank. If I break the tank down, people's offers will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Equipment make-model-size: Main display tank, 121X51X66cm (length, width, height) in 10mm glass. (One offer made. Will note any further offers made however, in case first bidder pulls out later)
Age and condition: about 2 years old, in good condition. A few minor scratches, but not really noticeable unless looking really close or photographing.
Quantity for sale: 1
Reason for Sale: Need the space for a Marine tank up-grade :sad:
Delivery or Collection: Please give your Postcode for a delivery price quote...
Sales price: Looking for £50

Special note. The tank weighs about 100KG, and I am the only person able to help out, out of everyone in my family. With extra notice, I may be able to talk a couple on neighbours/friends into helping, but it will help if you can supply some muscle to move this item... It took 4 of us to get it in, and we'll need at least that to get it out again...

Equipment make-model-size: Silver Sun Light unit, 3 T5 lamps, 120.5cm long.
Age and condition: 2 years old. Some minor scratches, again hardly noticeable
Quantity for sale: 1
Reason for Sale: Same as for tank
Delivery or Collection: Please give your Postcode for a delivery price quote...
Sales price: Looking for £25

Livestock: L66 Pleco's, breeding pair (Two offers made. Will note any further offers made however, in case first two bidders pull out later)
Age and condition: about 2-3 years
Quantity for sale: 2
Reason for Sale: Same as for tank
Delivery or Collection: Collection or delivery, but would prefer collection
Sales price: £25 for both, £14 each
Postage & Packaging: As with above for "postable" fish, depends how many you are having and where you are...
Location: Leeds, UK
Photograph: Currently not available. Will try get one ASAP (Knew there was something I had forgotten to photo before lights-out)

For the whole set-up, I'm looking for about £600 for it all in one. Buying individually at the currently listed price, it would cost about £660. The full set-up will take a full day to move (I'd start at about 9:00 to be ready for you to turn-up and inspect before purchase at about 11:00, you'd be good to go at about 13:00, and then you've got to set-up again at your end), and at least 2 extra people aside from yourself and a van will be needed, unless you are having the set-up delivered, due to the weight and size of items. Despite this, selling the whole lot in one is my preference, as I can get it all over and done with in one go. If you get the whole set-up, I'll throw in a pressurised CO2 kit, spare filter floss pads and a few Tetras for free also.

I'm open to offers. Please post offers in the thread, clearly stating what your making an offer for, or wanting more photos/details of, as per this sections rules, and I'll try get back to your ASAP.

The water stats were are as below on the last check.

Ammonia; Always 0
Nitrite; Always 0
Nitrate; usually about 12.5ppm
pH; 7.5
GH; 10 dKH
KH; 2 dKH

Thanks for looking.

EDITED; I had my mum proof-read this, and she picked out a few Grammar issues :blush: I've also updated to account for delivery being available on evreything and for offers being made to buy stuff separately

i would like these please :) maybe L15s too
 
OK, Thank's Emma12321. Your offer will be appended onto the spreadsheet as first dibbs on the L66's for if nobody makes an offer for the full set-up and I break it down. :good: Will you be collecting, or requiring postage?

All the best
Rabbut
 
collection should be fine, hope your on the barnsley side of leeds lol i'll get the sat nav. can you put me down for the L15s too thanks :)
 
OK, will do. I'll PM you details of how long I'm happy to wait to get it all sold as a full set-up, and when you'll be hearing from me again if I can't shift the set-up complete :good:

So, just to confirm, your having all L66, and all L15, at a total of £49 collected :good:

All the best
Rabbut
 
Whats the deadline for you starting to split? I'm interested in the Sterbai please.

In relation to the discus are they all around 6"...no offence intended but they don't look it in the pics.
 
Weimster,

The Discus sizes are estimates (total length). All bar 6 and 7 are about the same size. 6 and 7 are smaller, about 3 and 4" respectively. I can catch and measure individuals for an accurate measurement if it's a major issue, I'm just avoiding putting them though the stress of it when I've no offers that depend on it :nod:

With the Sterbai, how many would you be interested in, and would you require postage?

Jagz, Postage to Birmingham is going to be £15.47 all in, for next day before 9:00AM delivery, or £5.84 for next day before 13:00. I'd prefer the first option, packing with air only, as 13:00 is starting to push the Oxygen-supply if they are towards the end of the delivery window... If that's OK, let me know and you'll go down on first dibbs for the Corry group unless Weimster beats you to saying yes :good: For the L66, postage would be £15.09 for pre 9:00, £5.84 for pre 13:00. Jagz is down for second dibbs on the L66, unless postage is too much for him on them?

All the best
Rabbut
 
ok im mainly interested in the l66 so i would only be interested if they all came together so yes put me down for the corys but if the l66 dont become available i will leave the corys ,

thank you jagz
 
Emma12321 was also mainly interested in the L66, and is Ok with the wait involved if I split the tank, so I'd foresee the sale of both to you as slim. I'll pencil you down anyway Jagz, but don't get your hopes up too high :sad:

Anyone putting a second dibbs on the corries is quite likely to get them with this "chain" as it were, so it's still worth putting in an offer, as Emma12321 would have to pull out of the L66 sale for Jagz to take the ;)

All the best
Rabbut
 
hey i would like to place an order on that tank you have for £50. I dont need the stand just the tank :drool:

OK, if you understand you need a van and two "helpers" capable of lifting about 30-40KG each (assuming you yourself can lift that comfortably), I'll put you down on first dibbs for the tank ;)

I'll PM Jagz and you about the wait involved before I start splitting now, so you know when I'll be contacting you about collection. With hardware, I'll contact you after all the livestock has been collected, just to avoid promising a date, only to not be able to let you take it as stock is still dependant on the hardware...
