Right I have made the decision to leave the hobby as I have just lost heart in it and have chosen to no longer keep fish. Everything is up for sale obviously fish will need to go first but if you want to reserve some equipment then that will be fine. Before I post on classifieds and eBay I will give it one week on 3 forums that I frequent so you guys can have first dibs.
Ill discuss my large tank before I go on about fish and equipment: It’s an ND 96x32x31 tank all in perfect order a few scratches but as the tank is so big you wouldn’t even no they are there even when cleaning. Now the tricky bit is, it will most likely need to have the silicone cut for it to leave my house and then need to be re siliconed at the other end. The hood will be fine to leave the house and the cabinet can be dismantled so you could have a 96x32 hood and cabinet and ill scrap the glass or sell the glass separate. I will be looking for £500 for the hood, cabinet and glass which is a good bargain as to have someone make this for you would cost well over £1200.
