    Well the chiller is over $500.00, the lighting fixture is over a grand.. Everything else, not to sure of value, but I have seen 180 selling for 3k. It doesn't seem bad. providing everything is in decent shape.

    Someone has obviously got the deminsions wrong. 96"x24"x72" is 718.1g not 300g. Plus 250w lights are not going to do a 72" depth tank any good. Sounds like a waste to me. JMO

    The dimensions were for the whole package, including canopy. For whatever reason, a lot of people do that on craigslist.
