The guy wants to sell it to me for $575. I told him I would think about it, although I am scared I might not be ready for such a large tank.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Aint a bad price.The rock alone for a tank that size will run you the asking price.

Also, would my house be able to hold the weight of such a large tank or would I need to go underneath and reinforce the flooring? My house is a stick built with crawl space....wood floors.

Thanks,

Just make sure you run the tank across the floor joists and not with em.

I think it sounds like a good deal too.

Just make sure you run the tank across the floor joists and not with em.

How would I determine which way to run it?

Thanks,

I would be all over it.The lights alone cost more brand new.

I would jump all over that. as for the floor joists just look in your crawl space to see which way they run north to south or east to west. so if they run north to south you want to put your tank east to west.

I would go for it.

:pooh:

better jump on that fast. great deal. tank is $375 new, stand about $200, rock (if it is 125 lbs) would be more than $500 - great deal.

Look to put the tank on a weight bearing wall. it will do just fine. I have my 90 going along the studds instead of across the studds. i bet you will be just fine

NO! Don't buy it. It is freakin cheap. You rarely see those setups being sold that dirt cheap.
kidding aside, go run and don't look back before it's gone. BUY IT!
and about your worries that wether you're ready for that size tank or not, believe me, when it is up you will be happy. I started witha a 55 gal and regret it and Upgraded to a 120 after 2 months.
