With stand and canopy, if very minimal scratches, then it is a very good price.

In my opinion, i think its a solid deal..A lot of stuff you would normally need later on down road you already have! If everything looks like its in even decent shape its still a good deal.

Aren't 6x2x2 tanks 180 gallons? Is it drilled? Any major scratches? Could be a good deal considering it comes with a lot of equipment.

ramtmac · 06/03/2010, 04:55 PM

Yeah he said it was 125 gallons but 6x2x2 is 180 so i dont know. from the picture doesnt look like any scratches but im going to check it out in next 30 mins. I have a 55 gal but really want a bigger one. Dont have the most money right now but if this is a great deal i will make it happen. Don't think its drilled but not sure yet

Well the worst you can do is check it out and see how it looks. If you like it flash some cash in front of him and bring the price down.

Good Luck!

+1 thats a great price for a 125

Be sure to ask what chemicals have been used in the tank (if any). William

Awesome price, 125 or 180 either way great deal...

cpl40475 · 06/04/2010, 02:03 AM

no its not a good deal its a great deal. Even if you cant use it right now you can store it for later use. Like someone else mention find out what chemicals have been used in it. If you want to set up a reef and its been dosed with copper then you could have headaches. I dont remeber if copper will stay in the aquarium or not though

khaosinc · 06/04/2010, 02:18 AM

I've used tanks that have been treated with copper more than once, and never had a problem.

whipit · 06/04/2010, 03:33 AM

its not a 125 if it measures 72x24x24 thats a 180 so lucky you thats a much better size then a 125

ludnix · 06/04/2010, 03:53 AM

You'll have to upgrade the skimmer I'm imaging, but it's a great start for the price.
