Is this a good deal?

[needmorecowbell]

I was searching craigslist last night and I came across a 30 gallon saltwater aquarium. It's pre drilled, has a 10 gal sump with plunmbing and pumps, live rock and sand(25lbs each), testing equipment, metal halide/ pc light fixture, io reef salt, 6 gal bucket, and a salinity guage/ other equipment. It's for 150$! I really think this a great deal and wanted your feedback before I buy. It already has a clown a cuc a goby and zoos and mushrooms too. I would probably frag and sell the corals and sell the fish.

Sounds like a good deal. I would buy it.

I just emailed him asking if it has ever been dosed with copper or has had any Mesa put in it. I have saved up half the money and my parents said they would the other half. I just hope no one buys it before me.

Wow I'd buy it in a heartbeat, well, as long as it's not beat to crap. Looks like a great find. Reminds me I gotta do my morning CL search. lol

 

[needmorecowbell]

It has a really nice skimmer and pics of the tank.

I am soooo excited. My parents are actually letting me buy it! But because i bough it so early they aren't paying for
any of it and are loaning me the money( with interest :/) I am super happy though. I might have it in a week or two.

 

[mr_X]

the used coralife light fixture alone is worth the 150.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Same with the skimmer lol. I just wanted it for the live rock because it's 12$ a pound right now.

 

[kurtyboh]

Yeah it's a great deal

 

[needmorecowbell]

I really hope he answers my email. I want it really bad now

 

[Tom-tom]

Man your parents make you pay interest?! What a crock!!!

Btw good deal!!! I just brought 3 peppermint shrimp for £60

 

[needmorecowbell]

I don't know much about the pound system but yes they are pretty tough on the money thing. I have had no donations come from them whatsoever other than an African cichlid that wasn't the best for my tank.( it's a molly/ platy community). But its all because they want me to manage money I guess. It will be about three months payback anyway if i work my butt off.
