Good deal?

This guy has a 80 gallon TRUVU acrylic bowfront for 350$, says its been hardly used, still has paper on the bottom, no stand with it though. Damn I could prolly get it for 250/275 and build a stand. Hmmmmm, prolly the last thing i need, another tank to stock!;D

 

The tank itself bought new would cost way way more than that but does it come with anything else or just the tank alone? Would you have to do any plumbing or is it all set up? Things to think about. I bought my off craigs list came with everything, calcium reactor chiller lights stand hood everthing to get me going all for $350. So if you don't want it don't do it because the next time you are looking you may find a better deal!

 

Its just the tank, skimmer, small power head and a return pump

 

What kind of skimmer?

 

Not sure, ad didnt say......looks like it sits in part of the built in overflow maybe. Looks a bit cheesy

 

I've decided that the BEST "deal" out there is a tank that I don't have to replace anything on.

My hubby picked up a tank/stand/hood/filter combo for $200 and was so proud of himself! WELL, $2000 later its suitable for reef inhabitants. The light fixture is in the trash, the filter is in the trash, the hood is in the trash but the tank and stand are GREAT!!!!

 

Hehehehe.........Ya, I guess i`ll pass and put the money into more corals for my 90

 

the corals sounds like a really good idea in my opinion..lol

 

The only thing that didn't work on mine was the chiller. It was a drop in chiller and the guy put it away and bent the line. The line was busted open and lost all of its refrigerent. My husband tried to repair it but it was too far gone! Everything else works perfectly!
