I was thinking the same thing, that or xenia. I personally would not pay more than $200 for that set up. It looks like a lot of work would need to be done in order to get it back in shape.

Seconded.

For 400 bucks, you can get alot more than what he has.

That tank still looks better than some LFS tanks I've seen. :mrgreen:

I'm sure this one isn't the worst one out there, but I wouldn't really know where to start, unles Drew would come over to enjoy the challenge ;)

If you were looking at getting that tank, I'd suggest cooking/power washing the rock, and some big time cleaning of everything else. For $400, you could almost buy the equipment brand new, rather than used. All the livestock would be almost worthless after a thorough cleaning as well. If you are new at this, I'd stear well clear of it.

IMO, I would suggest you save your money and buy some good books instead, educate yourself better so you know what you are looking at and can make a more informed decision. :biggrin:

does it have the actual biocube stand or is it something else?,if it does i would stick with $250 since you should be buying $80-$100 worth of new rock and a $50 powerhead and 2 new bulbs for $60

it wouldn't be that hard at all to fix that tank up. throw away the sand, do alot of water changes. turn of the lights for 4 days and no more algea.

that being said $250 would probably be the highest i'd pay.

It has a black DIY stand and 25lbs of life rock. No modifications or anything like that. The owner said he doesn't need the money, but wouldn't sell it to me even for $250, which is obviously already too much.
