Price question

[jk4music]

Could you guys please help me? What should I pay for a quality aquarium in the 50-60 gallon range. I was at a pet store today and their price for a 58 gallon was $350. It also said it was 'reef ready'. What does this mean? Is that a good price? Also could you guys give me and idea of what it would cost to set a an aquarium with ls (no lr) before the fish are added? I know there are a great many variables, but any 2 cents will help to give me an idea. I know this can be an expensive hobby and I'm trying to do as much research as possible before I get started.
Thanks

What do they mean by "reef ready" ? If that means that all you have to do is add sw and coral then that was a great price! But you need to know what that includes. Do you know what reef ready means?

Reef ready means there is a buit-in overflow, pipes, and sump. Protein skimmer extra.

is that price with or without the stand?

***** down here in Phoenix, Az. had a one dollar per gallon sale for up to 125 gallons. Pretty good deal if you are looking for a tank. Check your local ***** for info about the deal.
