Title: HI from Midland,MI
Post by: MoBoom on June 08, 2012, 09:32:34 PM
I just signed up yesterday and this was the first thing I saw. My name is Mark Rickett and aka has been that for years so I use it for almost every site lol. I have been doing this for about 3 and half years. I have had freshwater to saltwater and only have fresh for right now. I buy and sell fish tanks all the time, bought and sold over 50 in the past 3 years. I have two tanks setup right now.  My custom made 42 gallon African mix tank 30x18x18, Bumblebee, Jewel, Yellow Lab and a few mutts all under 2 inches. Second tank is my 320 gallon 1/4 hex acyclic 5'5"x42"x30.75". Just re-set that tank up, fish are just a mix of African's, Bumblebee, 2 Yellow Labs, Kenyi and few others I can't think of right now. I have about 200lbs of kiln dried sand and over 400lbs of kicker rocks. I might be selling this tank once I build the canopy and finish the stand. I won't go to far into what I'm running right now. Sorry I don't know the Latin names that well. Just thought I would get my name out there and see if I can get pictures loaded up.

Thanks guys. I found out about this site from my local shop and figured I would check it out. So far I'm liking it. Just have one thing, trying to update my profile avatar picture, it would not do anything and I waited for about 30 min and said forget it. Now Dan, I might be in today before you close. I have to do a few things.

Well thank you guys very much. Soon I will be moving my fish from my 42 gallon into my 320 gallon and the 42 will be turned into saltwater in the next couple weeks. Want to get that going so that way if I setup my 120 gallon or sell it to get a 140 square tank I can move most of it into that. I miss my saltwater setups and want to get back into it along with my freshwater.

No but he is cocky he will come in once a week tell me 5 bucks is too much for a damsel and ask me to hold fish for him for weeks then tells me crazy larrys is cheaper... looks like you'll have to start buying now since larrys burnt down.  But really he isn't cocky like some people I deal with
