Getting Out of the Hobby Sale

[Dace]

Well let me start off by saying that i met alot of Friends here. This site was my major inspiration in this hobby for me. But between the personal obligations in my life and the bitter issue's I've endured from being friends of two people who own there own website and the political bullshit that comes with not taking side's when neither of the people in question have done anything wrong to me has caused some conflicts or better said uncomfortable feelings between many of the members on this forum toward me Just because i refused to take sides when both members of this site and that other site have helped me when i needed it most in this hobby. I'm not a person to be a hypocrite and deal with someone if i don't like that individual,and i can honestly say that the only person in this site i can't stand is Adrian for stabbing me in the back when i was only doing him a favor. Other then that, meeting everyone else here has been a pleasure. Anyway i just felt I would get that of my chest, with that being said, I'm selling my 180gal tank, lights,and equipment, i will be keeping all my acans which someone will house for me until i decide Werther it will be worth getting back into this hobby in the future.
I have pending deals for the fragswap which i will keep being that i already made the commitment with certain individuals. I will post prices and equipment later on today.

This will be the order that everything will go.
Corals, then rock,fish, then equipment. i will post pics and prices as we go.

The rock i will be getting rid of will be about 200lbs at 4.00lbs. some rock will have encrusted sps. Rock is beautiful, i will say that two or three piece of rock do have aptaisia. Sorry i probably spelled it wrong.
Then the fish
two purple eye antias 15.00 each
Flame Hawk 25.00
Fox face large 40.00
1 false percula clown 10.00
there some more fish, just can think right now
Lights
3 sets of Lumenarc retro 250De with 2 months old ushio 10k bulb and icecap ballast. 210 each
T5 retro setup 250.00 you will also get 3 additional new bulbs for this

What does politics have to do with enjoying your hobby in the comfort of your home? Just take a break from your computer. :hug:

 

[jf2381]

Dace WTF.

Don't let other's issues get in the way of your hobby...
I have friend's on both places and I could careless what others have to say about me.

Bro, I heard alot of good things about you before I even met you. I don't know to many people on this site, however I met you, we made a deal, you did right by me and like I told you I am looking foward to getting some coral pieces from you in the future when I am ready. Dude, I know there alot of non-sense on this site, but like dean said "What does politics have to do with enjoying your hobby in the comfort of your home?" Just like me, I do what ever I want, how I want, and when I want. But if you must get out of the hobby, I wish you the best. It was a pleasure to meet you...

Like Dean said, just take a break from your computer.

 

[grknyer]

WTF????? Anything political is never any good. Take a break man. Visit other sites. It's the www. Clear your cookies and temp files in case your tempted but don't tear down your tank!!!

David pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee don't do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never had the pleasure to meet you in person, and you cannot take that away.
It has already been said, but I am going to say it again incase it has not sunk in yet. Lot's of us have friends on both sites, and could careless about the politics. Baby take it from an old hag, it is not worth it. That taking sides nonsense was for High School. I think the majority of us have graduate from that scene a longgggggggggg time agooooooooooo.
And I wouldn't take a break from the sites either if you enjoy them. Be like a duck in the rain, let it all roll of your shoulders.
What ever is going on between others that does not involve you personally should NOT play a roll in your decisions concerning your own personal life.
I know you love the hobby, why let this make you give it up?
Don't do it, stick in there. I know you are a strong man, and can roll with the punches.
Or are you just tired of the hobby, and need a little break? If that is the case then do as you must, but please remember that you have long time friends here that will miss you terriblyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Que Dios en su misericordia te bendiga Grandemente!
Be blessed my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awilda:hug::kiss:

 

[autoponicz]

Yes you have, I'm the Dominican with the Big Nose. Maybe that will remind you of who i am. I want to thank you all for your kind words, Like i said before, Manhattan Reefs was my first true Reef Home,Even if there are a few of you that may have a problem with me saying that, It's the truth. and it will always be. With that said,Everyone in life has problems, but this hobby was what kept me problem free when i was down. Interacting with the people on this site made it as exciting as being in the hobby. but i no longer feel like i can get that relaxation i used to get when i really needed here anymore, or anywhere else. After being in this hobby so long and being on RC,it was my resource heaven as well as here and now I'm also banned over there, Why, i really don't want to get into. It's just been an difficult year for me. But Next year i will start fresh, hoping my luck can change.

It is a shame that you will take down your tank, they say fish are huge stress relievers, better than shrinks. You should't let others influence your actions because that is the first reason for regret! It will be sad to see you go, take a break, recharge and come back full force! Never got to meet you but would be sorry to see you go!

Take Care,
Nikki

 

[Dace]

I will spend this afternoon taking pics of the stuff in the order that it will go.
Thanks again to you all.

good luck

Hi! Daceman89:

Look what ever you do good luck, It was a pleasure dealing with you on the Koralia pump. You went out of your way to meet me at my job. You will be back into the hobby, it took me over a year but I could not stay away from this hobby. I got back in on a smaller scale but it still is a good hobby that I know my kids are happy I am back. They loved the reef tank.

thanks,

danny

 

[jf2381]

Dave i'll hold all the micros, and acans for you.
