Good deal or Meh?

I found this online, and have been back and forth with her a few times. Got her down to 500 dollars, for the tank and pump, no stand....but it is brand new. What do you all think? Should I beg the wife right after blowing 200 on coral yesterday, or save the aggrevation?

Sounds good. A brand new ReefReady 180 is about $600.

Re: Good deal or Meh?

definitely great deal, be careful don't get to many tanks running i know someone who had a 240 gallon in his basement and had so much moisture in air down there it start rusting anything that was metal. i stop at having my 125 gallon and my 75 gallon and got rid of my nano cube. Remember its an addiction. If i was you i would get it but you got to look at long run thats gonna be a big chunk of money on new light lots of live rock, need alteast a 40 gallon breeder tank for a sump, bigger skimmer. I would put a 72" constellation t5 light on that and at the least of a 72" nova extreme pro, will save some money over heat and power consumption of metal halides thats why i'm switching i have a 72" outer orbit that are 1000.00 new i'm selling for 500 bucks.

Re: Good deal or Meh?

If I get the tank, I will be transferring the predator into the 46g bow, and the 50g will become the sump. Everything in the 46 would be transferred into the 180. It would also be a winter project, I plan on picking up the pieces as I find deals. I may even ditch the predator altogether, and see if the 180 would take the eel and clown.....ditch the lion.....I don't know for sure, but I'd definately be replacing the 46
