Is this a good deal?

[perchpsk]

I am buying this 135 gallon reef ready setup with sump, hood, vho lighting etc.. and live sand for $625. Is this a decent deal? Good deal, bad deal... what do u think? Should I do it or not?

Go for it. I found some in the Seattletimes too that seems pretty good. You'll have fun with a tank like that. I miss my 180g tank.

Thats a awsome deal. Let us know how it works out.

Will do.. it arrives on Sunday. My ro/di unit should be here next week so it will be a few weeks before its officially up and at 'em.

Even if you are paying for delivery it is still a good deal.

so get this.. the guy was getting ready to deliver the tank this morning and his buddy dropped one end and cracked the tank.. it now has a leak... Needless to say i didnt buy it.. the guy called and apologized, now i might just buy the stand, hood and lighting... oh well.!!!

I'm sorry to hear that. I know that's got to be tough when you've been expecting it for awhile. Well, I'm still waiting for my canopy to show up. Good luck finding another tank.

[perchpsk]

Well I found a nice 55 gallon set-up with 50# of live rock, live sand, 5 fish,2 anenomes, cleanup crew, a nice white hood and stand for $350 that includes help deliverng it here. It has 2 powerheads, a protein skimmer and a biowheel. I will upgrade to a refugium and get some VHO lighting. Looks like i still need that RO/DI unit asap Crazy.. LOL anyway here it is:
