Pros & Cons of a 4x2x2 reef tank

[lemon drop]

I have a line on 125 gallong tank with the above dimensions, all the equipment, live rock and sand, corals, anemones and some fish. He is asking $900.
I am interested in opinions on the price.
Also on the pros and cons of a tank with those dimensions. I want to avoid having a tank that is too high, too wide, etc....
Please share your opinions.
Thanks!

Is this the correct forum for this post? Doesn't anyone have an opinion?

It doesn't seem that much different than the average 125. A deeper tank always looks better and when it wider too than that will only improve the look. It really all depends on where you would have it, like what size stand and how accessible it would be to you. Or if the look is worth the extra hard work IMO.

Great size, im looking at a little longer, 6x2x2. I wouldnt go deeper, anything deeper is hard to get in and work on. Sounds like a great deal even if most of the equipment is crap. If its good equipment(lights,pumps, etc.) sounds like a STEAL

Thanks for the replies!
I am very excited, but nervous. I have not done corals or anemones before and they come with it. I can follow directions well and have been studying up to purchase some for my 37 gal I have established. So we will see.

many true reefer like square tanks.... simply for the corals to have more room to expand...and lighting is a ta easier.. good size for corals

that tank is actually a 120gal. i am in the process of building one right now.

The dimensions are what they are. But if its a healthy system and good equipment then thats a good price.

Is it reef ready? I have a 120 and like it alot. The 2' width was the reason I went with it over the 125. If it's a Reef Ready tank with sump and full of live rock that's a great price. The rest is a bonus. Good luck.....
