Should I Buy This?

[debdeb]

I don't have complete details, but I am going to look at this tank tomorrow? I don't know brands of any of this yet. He is asking $800 for it all. It was a FOWL
180 gallon glass tank (drilled w/overflows) (72X24X24)
custom stand and canopy w/fans
his description of lights are:
2 blue halogens
2 white halogens
2 75 watt k bulbs
(not sure what he is talking about with the lights)
sump
skimmer
Rio1200 pump for skimmer
submersible pump (950 gph) for sump
all of the plumbing (hoses etc.)
some live sand (he has it in a container and it's still wet)
some rock that's now dry (not sure of qty of sand or rock)
other misc. stuff
I need to see it to figure the lights out and can post an update once I've seen everything. Does this sound like a decent bargain? :help:

that sounds pretty good. The tank/stand/canopy would run at least that much new (around here), so if everythign is in good shape and the lights/equipment is in good shape/good brands, then go for it.

Look very closely at the front glass for scratches. It would be a shame to build a wonderful system and have to look through scratches.
The sand & rock is useless IMO. The rest sounds pretty good.
