    It looks like he has two tanks from the pictures. There is still one in some sort of shrink wrap in the background.

    That's a great deal, plus I can tell you that's a 72 Gallon tank. I know because mine is the same. Nice looking tank! Better get it while you still can!

    If you do in fact decide to start a tank and marine one at that, I would do some research and read one or more of the excellent books on the market to help you, as their are many variables that need to be addressed to become successful and maintain a marine tank.
    lighting, water parameters, husbandry, compatability, filtration are just some of the key components that will have to be addressed if you have any chance of being successful> I don't want to sound negative, or dampen your spirits, or even deter you from getting involved in this wonderful, enjoyable and entertaining hobby, its just that it will take some work and dedication to be a successful and conscientious aquarist.
    Yes, it can be done and be a rewarding hobby, just take the time to do it right and get off on the right foot, by gaining the knowledge to give your livestock a fighting chance and you the ability to truly enjoy the hobby!
    Factor the pros and cons and the risks envolved is all.
