Best Place to Find Used Equipment

I currently have a 30 gallon tank, and don’t like the limits it is placing on the fish I am able to keep (AKA- I am hooked on this expensive hobby and want to spend more money that I should not be spending).

I have seen a lot of videos on upgrading a tank, and many of them say you should get some pieces of equipment used.

I have been keeping an eye on Craigslist, and I can’t seem to find anything good in my area (at least to date).

Anywhere in particular you would recommend looking?

Also- any advice on things you should NOT buy used?

Once you hit 50 post and I believe 90 days the buy/sell/trade forums are a good place to look for deals.

I’m actually going to be tearing out my 1200g in-wall system beginning the first of the week, so feel free to text me to discuss what you may be looking for.. Everything that I have is commercial rated equipment (pumps, reactors, chiller, etc.), including my Profilux-III controller, and Milwaukee Instruments Colorimeters.

I’m out!!! We’ve sold our home and the buyer had no interest in the reef system, so I have to remove EVERYTHING this next week.. The livestock is all pending, but is supposed to be removed tomorrow, then the painfully sad part for me really begins... THE TEARDOWN! The tank and equipment are in Arkansas but I now live in northern Indiana, so I’ll be tearing everything down and then bringing it back to Indiana to clean, rebuild to like-new condition, then sell.
