    WOW! I guess maybe I should jump on it, the same guy has a mess of Corals for sale for $10 also. He has a large Blue Staghorn for $15 that I would jump on also if the tank was running.

    This is the chiller the guy has for sale for $120, he just emailed me this pic, looks to be in good shape, but I know nothing about them. I think I may need to text him and say SOLD!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You need to make sure it's still running by trying it out.

    Chillers without regular maintenance tend to have a life of about 3 years.

    Yep, not much of a bargain if it's broke.

    ooohh! he said the unit is about 5 years old, what kind of maintenance would a person do to a unit like this?

    I just got home and the tank looks great, but I can see spending an entire weekend cleaning it. For an additional $50 I got this neat CPR HOB refugium with lights, weird little skimmer. lots and lots of cleaning.

    Heck of a score.

    Should be a nice little setup. If you don't want to do coral, a few clowns and a large anemone may be an awesome idea for the tank.

    Right you are Kevin, very nice score. I think I am going to go with mostly SPS and LPS Corals, not sure about fish, but I might add a Catalina or Neon Goby or 2
