    Ok guys. I just got what I think is an absaloutly amazing deal.

    I posted on here a few weeks ago about a craigslist deal and it was a good deal but while moving the tank, it cracked, soo I have been trying to sell some of the stuff to recoup some of my money.

    Well, I found this system on ebay. Its about an hour and half from me.
    When I was bidding, I bid $130 well the bid went up to $270 and I just couldn't do that after spending $400 on the other setup.
    well I got an email today saying I had a second chance offer! I jumped right on it and will be picking this tank and accessories next weekend.

    What do yall think

    good deal.. but this might be an error:

    30" Nova Extreme Lighting fixture with four 96w T5 bulbs and LED lights.

    4 96w T5 bulbs?

    maybe (2) 96w Power compacts instead of T5s

    but good deal anyways!

    Looks good to me. The dimensions listed are for a 45 gallon tank.

    that is the 50 gallon show tank. The tank alone is worth about $170.

    I personally would remove what ever they did to the back and drill it. IF your the guy that took it awesome find.

    It's pretty much built like a biocube. I won't be drilling but will be useing the compartment like the biocubes.

    What about removing the compartment and adding a hang on overflow? I had the exact same tank, and that small compartment, depending on what yopu plan on doing with the tank, won't be enough.

    Like I said before though, that was an awesome find. My LFS use to sell that combo for around $500.

    I don't want the risk of a HOB overflow.
    I will use it how it comes.
    thanks for the suggestions.
