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.

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.

[hamsik97]

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

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.

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.
