What kind of reef lights?
Is there live rock?
IMO it depends on these 2 things.
If there is insufficient lights then u wiil
have to buy new ones anyway
If there is no live rock that is a hugh cost if
you want a reef.

This tank is very deep. If you want a reef in this tank you will have to go with metal halide to get good penetration. Does it come with a canopy? That is somthing you will need to mount the halides in if you want a reef.

our 75 galon, with pc lights, emporer 400 and stand and glass top were almost 500 brand new, but your lighting is different, but not that much, nad a 75 has the same dimensions as a 90, except the 90 is 2 or 3 inches taller(i think 2 or 3)

oh yeah, buying used, make sure that they show you it will hold water, and make sure that they never had a disease in which they usedd any meds, if so, make sure what thyey used in the tank

IMO if you want a fish only tank this would be a good deal.
But if you want a reef tank you should just buy a new tank or an established REEF tank.
If you want a reef tank you are probably going to want a wet/dry, skimmer or a refugium.
I see used Reef tanks in my area go from $500 to $2000 and for a good established reef tank that is a pretty good price considering how much all of us REEFHEADS spend on livestock and equipment.
But you have to be patient. Well maintained tanks are hard to find!!!!
