Good Deal?

There is a used 90g salt aquarium available through my local classifieds for $300. I called the lady and she told me it come with about 50lbs of liverock, sump, skimmer and H2O. I would probably buy all new water once i bring it home (nothing besides LR in it. She said the LFS guy recommended she put real sw from the ocean in it (I always thought that was a really bad idea). Is it possible that LR can go bad? Is this a good deal?

 

sounds like a good deal to me
my 55 fresh water gallon with the huge stand was like 700. talk about getting ripd off! But I didn't care my mom bought it for me.

 

thats kinda high id say, check craigslist!! i just sold my 90 with powerheads, undergravel, pc lights, cc bottom for only $150, i sold it in a day. there are really cheap tanks on cl!! look around first, i bet u can find one for half the price

 

It depends on what kind of skimmer, how many gals is the sump, is the LR dead or alive. What about lights, the h2o means nothing, you need new water anyways. I bought my current 90 on ebay with a 29g sump for $127.00
Need more details. Luna

 

It's an ad from CL .

Turns out it has fish too, I guess I overlooked that... I will find out tomorrow what kinds... I dont know what the lights are yet, but I'm pretty sure i'll be buying some T5s. Anyone know how many feet across you average 90g is? Would a 48in T5 cut it?

 

a 48 will be fine, a 90 is usually 48x18x24, cl is a great place isnt it!!!!

 

yes 48" across 24" h and 18" d You should know that 150w MH are for tanks 20" high, 250w is for 24" and 400w is above 24".

 

Thank you for the good information!
