Be careful when buying any live rock that was previously in a FO tank -- copper.

no go on this one. After seeing the pics and thinking about it for a while the tank dimensions aren't so great for me. The rock wasn't as much or as coralline covered as I was hoping for either.

I looked at the pics. It didn't seem like 40 lbs of rock either. Anyone else have this thought?

Re: Need Member opinions on this deal

haha yeah that is what I thought. I was really hoping for better but at $150 for a tank, stand, lights, wet/dry, and those fish are decent fish I was excited. Plus he said he had a Mag 5 pump and all I see is a Koralia in the tank.

Re: Need Member opinions on this deal

$150 bucks is pretty cheap for any size saltwater set-up. It may look like crap but it does come with a sump and a few other things that might turn out to be usefull.

A little elbow grease and maybe a coat of paint on the stand and that could make a great species tank.
