Terry's 120g money pit - Page 34

tbittner · 03-05-2008, 10:32 PM

Well, I'm starting to see some aggression in my reef tank. The hippo has apparently claimed a spot/area and is chasing anyone that comes into that area. It doesn't appear to be to bad yet but I'm hoping it doesn't escalate quickly. They will all have a much bigger home in a few months so I'm hoping they tolerate each other until then.

Good luck Terry!

Just my Hippo in the 115gal. In the 225 FO never again!

JoJo · 03-09-2008, 07:16 PM

good luck. would doing a minor rescaping help on gaurding areas?

tbittner · 03-09-2008, 07:23 PM

The aggression isn't that bad yet. I just noticed that it's starting. I should have the 450 up and cycling in another week or so, so I'll just keep an eye on them for now. But I'm also prepared to pull the hippo out and put her in the predator tank for a week or two if she gets too nippy.

JoJo · 03-09-2008, 07:29 PM

duh, i forgot all about your pred. tank

tbittner · 05-18-2008, 06:22 PM

Kind of sad to see this tank go, but it's completely torn down now. Anyone looking for a nice 120 with stand?

JoJo · 05-18-2008, 09:45 PM

yea, alot of memories here. on to bigger and better things now.

framerguy · 05-20-2008, 02:32 PM

Well, so long awesome "little" tank....hello "big" awesome tank!

JoJo · 05-20-2008, 11:42 PM

something about calling a 120g "small" is just so wrong. LOL

Craig Manoukian · 05-20-2008, 11:47 PM

Do I smell a 330 gallon system Brooksy?

tbittner · 05-29-2008, 09:19 PM

CraigsList is really amazing! I listed this tank and stand for sale for $400 1 1/2 hours ago. I've already responded to ELEVEN requests for more information. Even had one response that is as follows:

Hello, i would like to know what all comes with the tank? Does it come with the filters, etc.

I would like to know if you would be willing to trade this tank for the following items....
Here is what i have to offer....

Toolbox full of tools
1000fps. pellet rifle new just sighted in
Sterling silver 20" chain with a sterling silver Metallica charm.
Dymo LetraTag lable maker
$50 pool cue
electric dart board
150lbs. of weights on a straight bar. (no bench)
Winchester hunting gut knife NEW
OLD Harrington & Richardson bolt action 12 gauge shotgun Will need a new magazine.
5 gallon fishtank ready to setup
Berkley 50lb. digital fish scale
Micro spinning rod/reel combo set
some odd tackle.

If any of these items catch your eye please let me know I would love to get this setup off you for me and my son. We both love fish and he is 11 now so we don't bond like we did before and i would like to get this to bring him and i back together again.

So if you can PLEASE help me and my son bond again. It would mean the world to me.

Geez, that's tough! What would YOU do?

Craigslist is good for some things but there some strange people out there. I have been using craigslist to get a few jobs. The money I make is going to my tank. I do carpentry work and I have gotten 2 jobs and 1 referral of it. No luck selling my pool cue. Are you interested Terry? Maybe we could do some trading?

Dentoid · 05-29-2008, 09:46 PM

That is tough Terry! Do you want the money or the trade?

goldenmean · 05-29-2008, 09:52 PM

My first thought is that is a strange list - possibly HOT
Then the heart strings are tugged at to make you not think of that.

Im not always that cynical but that is my first impression of the offer to trade.
