Hey- I am thinking about buying
a 28 Gallon Bowfront and stand for $350.
it includes:
28 gallon bowfront tank with stand
30 Lbs for Live rock
130 watt PC Custom Sea Life Fixture (bulbs 3 months old) 1 10K bulb 1 actinic.
Live sand
LiveStock:
1 green Open Brain
1 Kenya Tree Coral
1 rock of Green/Purple Ricordia
He said he paid250 dollars for the tank/stand, 225
for the lights and about 200 for the sand,rock, and livestock.
Does all this sound about right?
What do you think?
Please post comments/suggestions.

honestly, I'd say probably not....unless it is the exact size you're looking for. I see 55 gallon tanks with the stand in the classifieds all the time for around $100. of course the rock goes for about $4 a pound. So....take it with a grain of salt, it's just my opinion. I personally wouldn't buy it, but if it's what you want, that's probably a decent buy for everything.

Custom Sealife went out of buisness i beleive and i heard its real hard to find replacement bulbs for them. id say shop around and see if you can find bulbs that fit the fixture before buying.

i believe they are now "CURRENT USA"
and a brand new 2 bulb system from them with a moon light is just 110 dollars plus shipping
i think it's not a very good deal at all, in fact you could buy BRAND NEW for cheaper.
