    IMO that one H3ll of a buy! I would read up on Moving a tank of that size on 3reef and any other site you can before attempting it. I know it can be done without any loss of life, but it takes time,and muscle's. Good luck keep us posted as tho how it goes.

    Sounds like a great deal. Set up an appt. to see the whole set up and offer $900.00-$1000.00 cash. Luna

    At first I thought a chiller was a little excessive when you're only runnibg 4X65W power compacts, but I guess Plantaition is even warmer than here in Central Fl.
    The lights seem a little weak for a reef tank, especially if two of the lamps are actinics, so that would be the only down side I could think of.
    What corals are included?

    Thanks for all the input everyone! I have 2 concerns on whether I should get the tank: 1. Since I am a novice I am worried about transporting everything and doing it correctly. 2. I will most likely be moving in 2 years so I am not sure if I should go ahead and get the tank now or wait? I have wanted a tank for awhile now so I am very anxious to get one but I don't want to if it is not the right time. If I were to resell the tank in 2 years would I be able to get most of my money back out of it? Thanks for all the help everyone!

    You could probably make money off of it in 2 years if it's pieced out. I would look into a different light set-up. Or, add to existing.
