    It just upsets me because it's so darn tiny. I'd gladly take them all in, but not for that price.

    looks like a mis-print. Looks like a 30gal. Thats still alot of suff in there for a 30 gal , way overstocked.

    I actually asked about it because I thought the same thing, but nope.
    It's a three gallon tank. He said a lot of people asked the same thing.

    I have a 5g tank that loks smaller than this. I am seriously wondering how small those fish have to be to look that small in a 3g.

    That hippo looks like a tiny juvenile, same with the clown. Looking at the list of corals, its actually a decent price considering some of the high end livestock in it. I would be more then happy to pick it up and move some inhabitants to my other tank.

    EDIT: Thinking more on it, if the livestock IS healthy that is a pretty decent steal. Around here dendros sell for $30-$40+ a polyp, maximas and acans can be spendy and if it is a true watermelon chalice that is pretty costly as well. Heck, the sun coral, fire shrimp, ricordia and coco worm are worth over a hundred easy.

    Stocking may not be the wisest but why do you think $350 is so outrageous?

    Nice to know I got my 200 gallon for just a little over half of what some are asking for 3 gallons ;)

    I think it's outrageous because he just threw all of his leftovers from his tank into this little one just to sell it and in such a small space, whats healthy now wont be for long.
    I've seen a lot of nice 55+ tanks for the same price and they're fully stocked as well.
