Went to see the 150g today. The stand is super tall - 44 inches, and then the tank starts after that - 70 inches total from the floor to the top of the tank. I'm not a super tall person, so am trying to decide how big of an issue this will be for me. The stand is mostly 2x4 construction with stained plywood covering it and trim. You wouldn't know it isn't a nice solid wood stand from far away, but it does need to be restained and parts of the trim need to be sanded down. I'm thinking if I take it that I might try to shorten the stand by about 6 inches. The tank has 2 overflows that are about 6 inches in from each of the sides. I kinda wish they were corner overflows instead, but not a huge deal, though it will make it difficult to fit my existing arch structure (which is epoxied together). Overall the tank appears to be in decent condition - painted black on the back, some coralline growth on the overflows, some scratches on the glass, but I could probably buff them out. The guy bleached the tank today and that concerned me a little - how hard is it to get bleach out of a tank - if I soak it with dechlorinator would that do the trick? And how hard is it to clean overflows? These are siliconed in and haven't been cleaned in 5 years. I can replace the plumbing but the overflow is a two-part overflow (there's a smaller panel inside the main one), and I have no idea how to get in there to scrub it really well. Any advice? What do you guys think, is this deal still worth it?
