You are entitled to your opinion, facts are it is, in the end my mistake, but am I not allowed to vent after dropping 725 bucks on a tank that doesn't have a few scratches it is seriously loaded. I've had many many tanks in the 20 years I've been reefing and I've yet to see a tank this scratched. Somebody went crazy with a Sandy magfloat.

So you get a $2000 tank for 60% off then negotiate another almost 10% off and you purchase it without noticing "somebody went crazy with a sandy magfloat" and seem to be expecting perfection? With all your experience and many tanks over two decades I find it really hard to believe that even you made such a big mistake. Something else must be going on here. Like I said three sides to every story. I have been in this only 3 years and a few tanks and would know what to expect and how to inspect before closing on a deal. Anyone that knows me can attest I am a straight shooter. I once killed two birds with one stone! I want you to please relax and tell us how we can help you to see past this and not be so remorseful so you can enjoy this hobby with us.
I just don't understand it wasn't delivered you went and picked it up. If that many scratches how in the world did you miss it upon inspection before or while loading it well before money exchanged hands?
I'm simply telling my fellow reefers to " measure twice and cut once". And blowing off some steam, you don't own the forum so dont tell me how and what to post. I'm breaking no rules by calling someone out on not standing behind there item and doing a shady deal
Let me tell you a story. The other night I was riding my motorcycle and the front tire hit some plexiglass (of all things) in the street and I went down. Stuff happens I got hurt and the bike got scratched but I picked it right up and kept riding. The next day I got on and rode it again. The day after that it was raining and cold and I was still out. Everything in life is not perfect, not everything is someone elses fault. When bad things happen all you can do is keep moving forward.
I don't want to come off sounding like I am calling you out but like I said there are always three sides to a story. Lets flip to the chapter where we have you enjoying this tank despite any perceived issues.

I never told you what you can and can't post I could care less so relax. I understand you are frustrated but you have to ask what was your part in this. You have already admitted this but continue to dwell. I want everyone on MR to get along and am here to help - the good bad the ugly (and plenty of ugly people on here let me tell you :shhh
Grant,
I truly don't appreciate you coming online and slandering me like this, calling me names and trying to wreck my reputation. You came to my home with your wife, inspected the tank and stand (which you forget to mention to everyone the furniture quality hardwood stand you also got worth a lot of money in this purchase) looked over the tank and stand which met your standards. I brought the tank outside so you would not need to move the tank more than needed and it was in bright daylight. The tank was fully cleaned. There was no disagreement or concerns and you handed me the cash and left. I also threw in a free sump in the deal to show my appreciation which you failed to even state here as a nice gesture.
You also did not disclose on your posts the threating texts you have sent me. I have been a member for several years on MR and have many positive interactions with MR members with no issues.
You got home and changed your mind about the tank. With the fact that you inspected the tank when you were here at my home and there were no issues, this conversation is null and void. Any further conversation can be held privately but be known I will not be responding due to the fact that you are verbally abusing and threating me. I request the mods to close this thread.
Thank you
