Where to look for used items? - Aquarium Advice

MattP725 · 05-03-2005, 07:56 PM

I really want to get a bigger tank but am on a budget and honestly am still pretty new to this stuff. I wanted to buy a complete used system eventually between 120-180g. I am in NJ and it doesn't seem that many are selling systems around me very often. I check these classifieds, reefs.org, ebay, and aquabid (although they never have anything). Any other suggestions as where to look?

Local Buy-Sell paper....most are full of deals.

Checked them... prob with that is there is barely a description and no picture and it really is more of an inconvenience than anything when you know what you are looking for.

Have you tried ReefCentral? Their sale board is borderline overly active.

Here's one (in Delaware):
