    I'd say $100.00 if a fair price, if it holds water and not scratched up. Get him to fill it, so when you come look at it, you can see if it will hold water. You don't want to take it home to find out it doesn't, then you're out $100.00. Does it include anything else?

    Thats a good deal as long as it holds water and is not too scratched up as already stated previously. I just payed $329 for my brand new aga 90 rr at my local lfs and it was the best deal i could find around here. I went to 5 or 6 places.

    Welcome to 3Reef 206 Reefer!!!


    BTW, as long as it isn't scratched and holds water, $125 is a great price. If it includes the bulkheads, it's awesome price. If it also has the standpipes/overflow kit, it's an absolutely amazing price. 90's are made with very thick glass.

    I work in the car Biz and people always ask if the price they are paying for a new car is a good deal. I will tell you what I tell them. If you think it is a good deal then it is. If you think it is not a good deal then it isn't.

    Exactly. I just paid $275 for a 60" tank which is 125 gallons. It came with tank, stand and 75lbs live rock. May not be a good deal to some, but it was perfect size for a recessed wall I have in my house which is 71" across so a 6 foot tank would have never fit in the wall. It was the only 60" tank I had seen on craigslist for about 6 months. May not be a good deal for anyone else, but to me it was perfect. I would have paid well over $275 because it was something I had wanted for a long time. If you like it go for it, what's another 10 bucks for something your going to love to have.

    I am going to look at it in at 7pm, he says does not want to have to fill it up, but I wrote up a receipt that says he will give me my $$ back if it leaks when I get it home and test it. Hopefully he will sign it.

    I should have known when the tank was out on the porch and it's 25 degrees out. The bottom 4 inches of glass around the entire tank was scratched, and not one or two, just a mass of scratches. No thanks, I'll keep looking.

    Thanks for all your input.
