    This guy has two California Customs brand tank for sale. We were thinking of getting one of them for our Oscar. Pics are halfway down the page.
    Here's what's included:
    "I have two 180 gallon tanks. Each comes with the following:
    *2 - Aqua Clear 110
    *1 - Visitherm stealth 250 watt heater
    *Thick pieces of glass for tops. These are not form fitting tops, but do the job just the same.
    *2x4 stand suitable for painting or staining
    *Also comes with natural red flint small grade gravel, rocks slate pieces and anything else decoration wise I have laying around.
    *These tanks are currently up and running. The tanks are not in "like new" condition, but with a little elbow grease could be cleaned up just fine.
    I have extra Visitherm stealth heaters and aqua clear 110 parts I may let go cheap as well. Just ask!!
    I am asking $300.00 for each set-up or $550.00 for both."

    Do you think this is a decent deal? I thought about offering $250, is that too low? This would be my Bf's final X-mas gift. Worth it or no?

    Amazing deal! I would snatch those both up if I were you. One for my oscar, and one to re-sell for about double!

    There's no harm in offering $250. Depending on how long they've been listed and how much interest he has seen so far, he may jump on the offer just to get out sold.

    Gotta remember I'm in Michigan....there's no hope of selling anything for double.
    He said he had an offer of $200 but it was too low. I guess the worst he can say is no.
    I thought about getting both of them, but My house is so tiny Id have nowhere to put both.
    Thanks guys
