    Marine package includes
    pump – Iwaki 40RLXT (1200gph)
    Biomedic wet/dry filter w/bioballs – 30x12x18
    Reef Devil deluxe protein skimmer w/CA 2200 pump (850 gph)

    Lighting
    Four 96-watt Sunpaq Quad SmartPaq high output fluorescent units each SmartPaq unit includes two 10000K daylight bulbs and

    I don't think it is worth it either! I got my 75 with sump, skimmer, chiller, QT, RO/DI, and everything else I would have ever needed plus some for $350

    I figured as much, tried to get him down to 1500.00 knowing I would have to upgrade some things.

    What would you guys or girls say would be a good price?

    I wouldn't pay more than $1000. Even though it is only a year old you don't know how it was treated or what was added to it or anything. Also like Luna said there is nothing high quality there! He may have paid up the wazoo for it but you shouldn't have to!

    If the tank/sump was all glass and it also came with a refugium and some of the equipment was a good brand, I would say $1200-$1500....maybe. Dont waste your time on that set up, keep looking around and dont SETTLE for something that your gonna have to up-grade most of the equipment. Esp. the way the economy is, you can get a better deal somewhere else. This is just my opinion. Good luck! Luna

    Lighting is very sub par first of all! Iwaki pump is good but you can do better...plus as mentioned, you do not know that condition it is in really(leaks etc.)!
    I would look around...their are deals out there!
