    hello all, kinda new to the hobbie. maybe you can help me out, im looking at getting my 3rd tank not sure if its a good deal or not so if you can tell me what you would pay for this....

    Systems comes with:

    I would put at least vhos on it pcs are crappy unless you want good colors on a fish only tank but thats just my opinion.

    Welcome to 3reef

    I agree with the light fixture not being the best.

    I would offer 1/3 of what is being requested for starters and not go past half for my final price.

    As you can see I have a 210 gal reef tank. Of course with the economy people are open to suggestion on price. With that said, first thing I ask is have you seen the setup? Is it up and running? Is there any sign of leakage? What is the asking price?
    With a 7' tank the lighting needs some creativity as there isn't a 7' light fixture that I'm aware of. Compact lighting is slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past. Replacing the bulbs are costly. I'm going to stop here as this could get extremely complicated so if you want you can call 954-829-3839 and I'll be able to help you further. Just ask for Marlinman.

    welcome to 3 reef MaryJane

    +1 on the PC light unit being something you will want to upgrade to either T5s or MH /T5 combo

    value for money is an individual perception rather than a collective knowledge IMO

    If you see it, like it, can afford it - NIKE = just do it
