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

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

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?

Equipment
 

Spare some extra lights lol

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:

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

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

Lol
 

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....

My fault
Carry on ...
