    Honestly, I would tell him to pick the price or find out exactly what half of the cost for the tank and stand is. A tank isn't worth a friend.

    I wouldnt go higher then 700-900$ IMO, Looking at tanks a standard 220 is 1000$ at petco, i believe the 180 was 800.

    Half price of what? If everything you have a great deal if you are going to use it all. It sounds like you need to look up the price of a 180 tank with stand and canopy. Then decide from there.

    My bad, I would be willing to pay about 650 for the tank, stand, and hood. The DIY lights really depends on what he used.
