I guess since it was pick-up only... I'm surprised with it being so close to Orlando and all... I thought someone would've gotten to it. The person hasn't emailed me back yet, so I'm not getting my hopes up TOO high lol

I'm continually amazed at all the deals you can get in Florida, NY, and California. Those seem like the places to live for cheap used equipment.

I agree with prime. I was just browsing craigslist and Florida has people practically giving stuff away.

It does pay to live in FL sometimes. Found a 90 gallon with stand / canopy for $100 today on craigslist but no where to put it or $$ to support 2 90's.

I picked up a 300 gallon acrylic tank for $250 from craigslist. I was the first one to call. I only lived 20 minutes from the guy so was able to get there before anyone else. When I arrived to first look at it, there was 2 people on the phone on hold asking about it and another guy on his way to look at it. When I first seen it I knew I was going to buy it. Set up included sump filled with bio media, pumps, fish, 200-250 pounds of live rock & lighting. Stock list included 1 two barred rabbitfish, 2 yellow tangs, 1 orange shoulder tang, 1 spanish hogfish, 1 bicolor angel, 1 blue/green chromis, 1 5" maroon clownfish (a monster), 3 serpent sea stars and 1 chocolate chip starfish. I spent less than $200 for the stand which is a friend and I built and can probably hold a 600 gallon the ways its built. This is my first saltwater setup as I've been a freshwater guy since i was old enough to read. The only thing i need to do is get a protein skimmer for a tank this size with a $250 budget. I need something that will fit in a sump with everything running already so it need to be squeezed in the sump with a limited clearance.
