Hey all,

Is there anyone out there, private or business, that is interested in maintaining my salt water tank?

The tank is small (88 Gal), holds community fish, live rock, no coral or anything like that.

Looking for "as needed" filter maitenance, tank cleaning, dealing with algae on the glass, etc.

The long and short, I always want it to look pretty, but don't have the time to do it myself.

Must be someone with experience, who knows what they're doing, and are willing to commit quite a bit of time up front to get it "back into shape".

Private message me to start a dialoge if interested.

Thanks!

Hey all,


Some additional information (because I've had numerous requests for it and forgot to mention), I am located in Regina.



Also, if you're a maid and a tank cleaner, even better... since you could just replace my current maid (who has no saltwater maintenance experience).

Famer John has taken great care of my tank over the years when I go away
for holidays. Just send him a PM.

Patrick Pare might be another alternative - PM me and I can give you his home phone number; Patrick has a 55 gallon tank of his own - he is knowledgeable and cautious and diligent. He works as a `picky' painter by trade. He has mentioned that he'd like to be doing this type of thing.

Hey Brian,

I PM'ed you for that name.

Alternatively, if I am unable to find anyone in Regina interested in maintaining this tank, I may just be selling everything off. If anyone is interested in buying everything as a package, let me know.

1 - 77 Gal Salt Water Tank
1 - Fluval 404 External Filter
1 - Protein Skimmer (I forget what model, but it's a big one)
2 - 300 W heaters
1 - Powerhead 500
1 - Cabinet Style Stand
4 - Flourecent Lights
Figi Sand
Filled with live rock

As for fish, there's a couple clown fish, a large long nose butterfly, an angel fire, and some other misc. cheapies.

Just to throw it out there.

Of course, my ideal situation is get someone in here to keep it up. So, again, let me know!

Thanks!
