Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi Everyone,
Some of you might be aware that I am planning to upgrade my aquarium. I was originally looking for new set up - a tank with stand - from LFS. I was also originally looking for 75G. I decided later to see if I can find good deals in Craigslist because they usually sell aquarium set - a tank, stand, and other equipment. Unfortunately, I could not find a 75G around my area during a long period of time. However, I found a 125G set. It has good stand (made of real wood), comes with other equipment and may come with the fishes.
I am already set to buy this tank. I love it (just by seeing the pics). In fact, I already contacted the seller. However, I still have some doubts about purchasing it. My first concern is the quality. The seller told me that it has no major or minor problems. In addition, it is still running with fish in it. But with my life experiences, you can't really take someone words and completely give your trust. My second concern is the price. It was originally priced for $650. I was able to convince the seller to drop the price down, and now at $575. Although that was the case, $575 is still a large amount of money. I honestly don't have much money and will have to ask around to get this. So, I am still having thoughts of not doing this purchase.
By the way, here is the link to the aquarium set: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/d/125-gallon-complete-aquarium/6270353565.html
I will appreciate any thought, comment or suggestion.
