Cool Should I buy this tank?

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...readid=1435013

what about the other stuff listed?

I would most likely use this as a FOWLR leaning toward the predator side with a snowflake, some wrasses, and maybe a lionfish.

No you should buy this one.

I would even deliver it to you for gas money. That is a decent price though.

Ryan, I don't have the cash to shell out over 1k right now. I had to pay for summer classes and my hours at work are half of what they were. Plus that tank is too big for an apartment setup for right now. Still don't know if we are renewing in Sept.

For that price, take the tank and stand.

Leave the equipment. I guess since you are thinking of going fish only, the lights would be useful.

Re: Should I buy this tank?

problem is that I need something to haul it. My parents, girlfriend, and two roommates all drive sedans. I would have to rent something in addition to the 1hr 30 min drive would add on a nice cost. I am not so sure it is worth it.

You can rent a regular old pickup from U-Haul for about $20.
