should I ever bother with this?
 

Went to see this 29g bio cube today... There is nothing in it except lr and two anemones. All fish has died, some stuff is floating all over, all lr is covered with algae, so as the sand. Is it even usable for a beginner? And if yes, how much is it worth?

No. You are just setting yourself up to take over someone else's head ache. There are setups out there that are more or less plug & play. This one (as you can already guess) will require you battle the other person's major algae & other problems. Not worth it unless you're getting the system for next to nothing. For a beginner, it'll be more work & discouragement than fun.

Thanks Anthony, kinda glad to hear this... :)

dont do it my friend, like anthony said it is WAY more work then you need

I would personally love that challenge....but I'm also not just beginning. So yeah--I would echo what the others have already said. How much is he/she asking, just out of curiosity?

im shure the tank its self is fine except needing new bulbs possibly wich will run you $60, if you buy it i would plan on possibly getting rid of everything in it.
im thinking about getting rid of my bc29 and stand for around the $500 range but im not commited to selling it yet for shure, it also dosent look anything like that mess but depending what they want for it it might be a good deal.

He wants $400, I offered $250 and he said no.
Anthony, what would be a next to nothing price for this one?
Jenna

Like crabs said , there is nothing wrong with the tank, it seems like the owner is to lazy to do a water change. I would not buy for 400 as for an extra 100 bucks you could get a brand new one.

100
 

I would personally offer $100 for this. Looks like a lot of work to get in to good shape. .25$ on the dollar, if equipment is in bad shape, is fair in my opinion.

looks more like anthalias than anemones to me.
