Lightbulb .: AquaCentral.ca :. - Fresh concept!

Hi all, I just wanted to try and promote the site. I don't want to post all over this site and get myself banned so I am only posting in the designated area! (I hope - If not please PM me and I will make the appropriate corrections)

Quick rundown is that we have started a new site (Please don't think ahh.. not another one) for the exchange of used / new / livestock / etc.. to a Canada wide audience.

I hate going onto KIJIJI or the USED and Craigslist networks and finding CAT's forsale in the "OTHER" / " FISH" sections. Its hard to navigate and really just annoying.

Please check out the site AquaCentral and let me know what you think!

Again, thanks for your time!

Here's my thoughts

Canreef has an extensive used/for sale section, no cats allowed.

My usedyourcity.com has an extensive Fish section, never seen a cat in there.

This new site, first ad I see is a Mag 3 pump, apparently used, for $150 bucks. That's almost 3x the new price. I voted "not another one" simply because I had to go look to review the link.
I won't go back....

We appreciate the feed back and your opinions.

"This new site, first ad I see is a Mag 3 pump, apparently used, for $150 bucks. That's almost 3x the new price. I voted "not another one" simply because I had to go look to review the link.

Although we can moderate the content that people put on the site, we cannot tell them a price to put it at. That would be like me saying oh, someone posted 1 ecotech radion on kijiji for $1500 so therefore I am never going back to the site because of this. I am not arguing your statement, simply putting it into better context.

Again, thank you for your input as we do appreciate everyone's idea's and thoughts.

Most of the the time, mods don't allow non-sponsors to post like this.

Interesting to me , as a long time member was given the gears over it when he started a new biz.... And it's not fair to paying sponsors. At least this is how Canreef used to be.....

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

In my opinion it never hurts to have more sites to sell things on. Equipment comes and goes so fast from our tanks that the faster I can sell it the better.

I see no problem with the advertising, after all the more people who use it the better.

We also ask that you remove any reference to your profession.

Thank you for your cooperation

True, but the advertising for business' here is paid for.
