How much spare and broken equipment do you have lying around?

[Dearth]

As the title says how much broken and spare equipment do you have lying around or stored somewhere in your place?

I personally have enough to fill a 5 gallon bucket and I could in theory have enough to start another tank

[brisco]

oh yeah I have a 50 gal aquarium full of stuff that I can't bear to throw out...including the aquarium.

How many 5 gallon pails fills a basement?

[canadianbudz604]

Spare some extra lights lol

[corallivore]

I have some light's I'd let got for cheap or trade.

What are you looking for?

Would mostly have HQI, some older led's or fluorescent kits.

So you're turning a poll thread into an opportunity to sell stuff?

I've recently decided to get out of the hobby after about 9 years running SW.
I had to make a spreadsheet as I have too much stuff - and to answer the title about broken or not ... I toss/recycle/re-purpose broken stuff.
My spreadsheet started with over 250 functioning items.

OMG, I had no idea I had so much stuff. I think it started as a 'not wanting to deal with hardware failures in the middle of the night' thing :wink:

BTW, this is not me promoting my for sale stuff. Just joining the 'Holee crap I have too much stuff' crowd.

Merely responding to a request.

Could be sale, could be a give away.

sorry if I offended your sensibilities.

Literally just trying to help someone else out, not me.

All good?

Oh I see, my bad. I should have called out canadianbudz604 for not using PM :biggrin:

[gregzz4]

Now I feel like it's all my fault, and I mentioned my stuff for sale ... :redface:
I was only trying to poke fun :boink:
It's so hard to get intentions across in threads ...

Honestly, just reminds me why I come to this forum so infrequently.

I don't know why this one seems to get so contentious compared to others.

Maybe all of us aquarium enthusiasts are high strung to begin with and get into this to relax.

I could say that's true for me.


Still, hate to be modded for just trying to help someone out.

Feels bad man.

I wasn't in any way trying to moderate you .. just poking fun
My bad for not figuring out how to type it in a way as to come across as joking
As I wrote earlier, it's difficult for me to get my feelings across in text

[gregzz4]

Maybe this is why so many of us haven't been here lately ...
Too many mis-understandings and not enough clarity

Im the 1 person that voted that i have no extra equipment.
I gave it all to my brother to start his tank.
I was just playing around....
