    Ok so I was craigslist earlier doing my usual looking around when I saw a post and had to click on it. It stated, 72 gallon reef ready aquarium trade for xbox 360. I thought maybe its just the tank. Boy was I wrong tank, canopy, stand, lights, new protein skimmer, new return pump, and new wet/dry filter. Only problem is I am just starting my second tank, a 29g I hope one day to be a reef tank. On the other hand, I've wanted a bow front since I've started in this hobby. Plus 72 gallons I could pretty much have any fish that id be interested in (to an extent). Just wanted to see what you guys thought about this situation. If I do end up getting it ill more than likely sell my 29g.

    but it looks like a very nice set up to me

    Hey Hey

    I think it is a very good deal... Lots of people on here that are more knowledgable may say otherwise, but I had 2 Xbox 360's and both died with that red ring of death BS.

    My skimmer cost more then a 360 ( and my current PS3) My lights cost almost as much... plus the tank, plus the stand, etc, etc, etc.

    If it is reasonable and equitable for you then do it =)

    A good deal is very subjective, and if your gut tells you no (or yes), then deep down you know that is the answer

    He emailed me back and said the wet/dry is a sea life, skimmer is a clone of the PM model rated for a 100 gallon tank, circulation pump is a QuietOne 3000, and the light is a coralife aqua light pc.

    Sounds like a steal, as long as it is in good shape.

    If this thing is in the Orlando area then you won't have to worry about trading because I will do it first ;D J/k

    I think it's a good deal. I would trade my xbox360 for this setup then get back on ebay and buy another xbox360 for about $150.
