    Is it just the tank? I got my drilled 75 for $75. Try to get him to go for $90, a dollar a gallon.

    Tank only, pre drilled with installed overflow. He just emailed me and said he would take $100

    Not sure about that, locally I found a 75 for $125 but would still have to pay to have it drilled and then install overflow

    Yeah, you're right. I looked that up again and it was a 9 year old article LOL.
    I did find a Perfecto for $189 & $190, the All Glass is $249 now.

    I would look at the tank & make sure nothing's wrong with it when buying used. I would also make sure that if you get it home and water test it, and it leaks, you can get your money back.

    Thats not bad for a Reef Ready tank.....go for it man.

    One thing you gotta remember....if it feels like a good deal to you and its only a few bucks difference than its a good deal.
