Wow well i just got off the phone with the seller. She knows next to nothing about saltwater. I dont claim to know a lot but WOW!
She couldnt answer very many of my questions at all.
The ad is for both the 75 and the 40gal but the 75 leaks and needs to be re sealed. the 40 didnt leak when she unplugged it but its OLD.
The LR is dead, the Sand is dead and has been for a year.
The tanks have been sitting in a corner as a dry display for a while now. BUT everytime she goes down to kelowna she buys new stuff for the tanks.

She has a seaclone 100 HOB skimmer still in the box
a "new" 5 year old pump (her words not mine)
Hydromoter (although i had to describe to her what that was)
Salt (no idea what kind but she said the good stuff)
She said she had coral (fake/dead)
Test kit... Whats a test kit?
Lights: No idea there are lots. Some are crappy and some she just bought. Aparently she bought whatever the lfs told her to buy.
She says there is a ton more stuff and she wants it all gone for $400 obo

hmmmm. Im gonna go over there later today and take a look although i think the tanks are a write off.

So now looking at all of that i will still need to buy
a new tank
possibly new lights
LR but how much? the rest of the stuff is dead so maybe i can seed it?
possibly new power heads
Maybe test kit (Even if she does have it, it will be old and innacurate)
Maybe a heater (depends on what she has)

Sheesh i dont know if this is worth it. $400 sounds like a lot now for two crappy tanks and a whole bunch of old stuff, Dead sand and LR.
