I have an opportunity to purchase a new tank.

72gallon bowfront tank. Drilled with an overflow
Matching Canopy and stand
20 gallon sump with baffles
QuietOne 3000 return pump
Complete plumbing
400watt MH lamp and ballast
1 3foot VHO actinic with ballast
400watt heater
2 maxijet 1200
1 maxijet 900
CPR Bak Pak 2r Skimmer
75-100lbs rock
1 large rock of acans
1 small rock of acans
1 frag of acans
1 rock with 3 ricordeas
1 clam
1 green millipora
2 rocks with green and purple mushrooms
1 rock of bright neon green encrusting montipora
1 3 headed duncan frag
1 frogspawn frag


He wants $550 dollars for this. The owner has stated that it has an algae outbreak (didn't say what kind). I will see the tank tomorrow. Do you feel it is worth this amount?

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. The pump and lighting alone would cost you that much.

Great...thanks for the feedback. I thought it was a good deal as well; even with the algae. I'm sure that I'll have to upgrade the protein skimmer though.
