deal or no deal?

Deal if everything is working and the tank has no leaks.

It comes with live rock so it must have $1000 worth or more.

 

Sorry fishfan, i forgot you posted that.

imo its pretty decent as long as its stocked correctly. at least one pound/g of rock. Right amount of sand. Also take into consideration that you will need to rent a truck to move it most likely. When looking at craigslist stuff i always remember to ask:
How old is it?
What type of equip? (exactly what type, brand/how old/etc) LIGHTING!
Is it running now or has it been in storage?
What brand of tank (some brands have a life long warranty, if thats the case try and receive a copy of their receipt and also draw one up for your transaction)

 

goodman lighting isnt an issue with me since i have an angel so corals are pretty much out of the question

 

aw didnt know that. :frustrat:

 

Anytime you buy a used tank off of Craig's List that comes with live rock, be sure to ask if it was ever treated with copper.

 

these are all good question i would have never thought to ask

 

Its really hard for me to look for tanks on CL because I always see a bunch of pets that people are giving away and I want to take them all!

 

i just search aquariums so i see no pets. just tanks

 

Oh... I did. My LFS has a tank priced well over 150k. the glass itself (bowfront) cost them 18k. it is a 500 gal. so many corals, anenomes etc. i love it...

 

you could buy most LFS for 150k
