If he's not willing to bargain then some poor fool will be suck in a bad situation. Obviously you are no fool :biggrin:

ill be deciding if im selling mine in the next 2 weeks and upgrading to a jbj 28g hqi, but i think im firm on $550 but the tank is mint ,it has the real biocube stand lots of rock, a whole bunch of corals,propper powerhead ans probly a few inverts running around,if your intrested i could take some pics for you

I definitely would! Pity it's a 10-hour drive, though. lol....

here ya go, $248 and brand new...a few pounds of live rock is easy to come by cheaply from some reefer who's getting outta the hobby. buying LR from someones tank is usually a good deal cause you get a reduced price and there's much more life on it. check the link : http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...4G-w-2x32w-PC/

in my opinion, ya you could make that tank work but if it's your first one, you're really at a disadvantage just because you've already got quite a learning curve with a fresh set up...let alone paying to inherit a bunch of someone else's problems.

The All in One systems are nice but caution with the type as the biocubes and such, the tank design itself will limit what you can keep due size (no tang) and lighting/flow.

Ooh, that's yucky. I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.
