    :sad11:Super emo about this, but I probably have to sell my tank and quit the hobby till we move into a bigger place. Having said that I want to thank everyone that has helped me expand my knowledge on the hobby, and the awesome people I've met, won't be a stranger.

    Having a tank took it's toll with regards to space for me from the start, And lately we have just no space.. and heading towards a financial rut so I think it might be best I sell my stuff to fix the problem before it gets worse. Unless someone has a instant get rich scheme for me.

    If I do this I want to first sell my live stock (to a good home only) then Plants and so on..

    Got the following:
    1200x450x450 tank with stand
    4x 54w T5's in custom made light fixture, backed with reflectors and covered with 8mm perspex. I have shelf brackets it hangs from too you can have.
    Boyu Canister filter, Had some repairs done to seal but sound and working, has a UV filter inside too.
    5kg CO2 canister, Was refilled a few weeks back, good to go for another year.
    Regulator and Solenoid
    Home made Inline reactor
    Odds and ends like scissors and drop checker, nets etc.
    ADA soil mixed with a bag of seachem black sand

    Fish I that I want to find a home for first is:
    8 Neons
    13 Galaxy Rasboras (Counted 13 quickly now might have more)
    breeding pair of Bristle nose plecos
    2 pepper corys, 1 has an awesome long fin.
    2 kulliloaches, Not seen them in months..
    3-4 Ottos
    CRS no idea the amount.. about 2 CBS and 1 lonely ghost somewhere..

    Half a bottle of Seachem Iron, You can take my cool bottles with too, oh and have some osmacote and empty capsules.

    Lots of plants, can look at pictures. Can take the lot for an offer made.

    I have an idea on prices I want for items, but will keep them to myself, Can make offers privately or public, which ever you feel comfortable with.

    Now please note that I'm not going to commit to any sales unless I can get substantial amount sold, I'm in no major rush to sell this, not eating soya just yet.. Hell I might even not sell anything in the end, as this is depressing. So if you interested in one item you can give me an offer and I can get back to you once I feel right about selling it all. I want to sell fish first before hardware.

    Jeez Richard :( I'm sorry to hear mate. That's a tough one. I think you should get a small 20 litre low tech to keep the stoke. Kids love tanks anyway :)

    Send me a Whatsapp for the CO2 bottle and solenoid, I may be interested. I may also be interested in the galaxy rasboras.

    When you start seriously considering selling let me know. Am interested in the CO2 Tank and regulator. Might even take some of the "odds and ends" (if the price is right :p).

    Am also very keen on taking some of the Galaxy Rasboras and Ottos of your hands. The CRS are always welcome.

Trying to get my ducks in a row,when I can sit down and respond to everyone I will, plan to do so this weekend. Juggling a crazy amount of things at the moment.

    hey guys, been scarce and very busy. Still have my light for sale. If anyone is keen shout. Great deal for R700. Costed me more in materials alone.

    then have a small tank, nets, siphon, air pump, heaters and odds and ends that I want to get rid of still.
