    Got an offer for a 90 gal reef ready. I do not know the brand. But tank, stand, canopy, sump, return pump, skimmer all included for 400 bucks. So I go for it. No cracks, getting cleaned up now. A small chip on one edge, not a major thing though. Any thoughts?

    i think it sounds like a good deal the tank, stand, canopy look good.
    if they sump is sizeable around 40g breeder thats great.
    if the skimmer is quality then thats just bonus.

    besure to check for scratches. a 90 with overflow and overflow kit AGA went for 350 new 6 years ago. but i think the price has risen in this economy. it will cost you atleast a 100 dollars to make a stand prolly another 50 for canopy

    no lihts

    no lights. He knocked off 100 so i dont get the lights. I have 48" metal halide Coralife Aqualight Pro. I dont know what each piece of equipment is, as for brands or power level, but i know the sump isnt that large. I think its a wet/dry filter. Not a sump per say.

    it doesnt matter what the sump is. 400 for tank and stand with overflow is a great deal by itself. anything else is just extra. you can always add a bigger sump for cheap
