Title: Cadman2000's Tank sitting service
Post by: JeffroM on January 23, 2012, 05:43:21 PM
Cadman2000 recently posted the following in a different thread.  Rather than hijacking the thread I figured I would start a new one.

Since you have no where to set it up, why don't I offer my spare bedroom. You can come down, stock the tank, provide me with what you want to feed. I will do the water changes on daily feedings.... Just an idea.

If you change the deal to you provide the food and you still provide the electricity and maintenance I think you will have A LOT of people take you up on the deal.

I'll loan you a 180 w/ filters / heaters / etc.  I'll get 3-4 small motoro rays to put in the tank - maybe some other fish too.  You provide the food, maintenance and 30% to 50% water changes every 2 days.  I'll come get all the stuff in a year to 18 months (after they've grown to breeding size).

Deal?

I said "...provide me with what you want to feed." So I don't think it will fly. Best of luck with your rays thou.....

I am a poor college student. While I have the time for maintenance and such, the funds are out of my budget. All I was doing is trying to help a fellow hobbiest out and your just making unrealistic propositions.

I sense a bit of true annoyance.  :( ???  It wasn't my intention, I only intended friendly annoyance.   :P

So hard to judge someone's reaction/mood on the internet. Glad it was all in good fun...

Yeah I agree, but if you met me you would know I'm a pretty big smartass, so it takes a lot to offend me.
