Well as is often the case the stand isn't in great shape but useable. The tank is a 2 year old (prev owner says) marineland I believe ( black sealant ) and was NASTY. Encrusted in algae, hard water buildup, snails etc. so after looking after the stand best I could and bleach water cleaning of the tank ( hours of ornament cleaning an filter cleaning ahead of me. I am hoping the bleach will kill the snails. The gravel is in 2 5 gallon buckets soaking in bleach water. Yes I'll have to cycle a "new" tank but I can't risk the snail infestation to use the old filter media. Anyway got with tank:
Stand - avg to poor state
Hoods and lights - doing COMPLETE down to unwiring ballast etc and bleaching what I can .
Marineland 200 watt heater (never opened)
Various testing supplies, food SMS meds.
Ornaments - large 35.00 so at chain stores 2x
3x small plastic plants
1x topfin 60 filter - nasty nasty but look new under the gross
1x whisper 30 - nasty also new looking under the yuck
Background
Brand new Aqueon Betta Mini Bow 2.5 Gallon Aquarium Starter Kit and Betta - this was thrown at me on the way out here have this too!
For all this extra cleaning ( bAh) I paid 150.00
Ripped off / avg / did well?
