Good deal? Used 210gal RR AGA with stand - Page 2

SGT_York · 01/31/2013, 12:15 PM

as long as it's circular and can fit a bulkhead!

No way I'd buy a tank with visible scratches.

Best way to check for scratches???

If I go look at it he said he would have it filled...

The more I look around that seems like a better and better deal. You could always build a stand yourself or have one built.

Ya I haven't really found anything near me around his price.

He said he'd sell me just the tank for $550 so I might just build a stand.

I think that would be good. I just built my first aquarium stand I had a lot if fun building it and I made it just the way I wanted it. If your interested check out my build thread. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2254148

I just found a fish store that can order me a brand new 180rr all glass brand for $799.

Hmm....smaller tank, more $, but brand new and no concerns with the unknown of a used tank.....

Piece of mind has no dollar value. Have you checked out glass cages?

Ya after adding on a rr package and shipping they are too expensive.

Yeah the shipping is what has kept me away from their tanks. What store was it where you found the 180?

*** is the guy going to do with a stand and no tank? Use it as a coffin?

Tell him $550 cash for tank and stand and let's call it a day.

I purchased a 220 stand and canopy for 500$ i got lucky though. I think thats a good deal for 550 for the RR

ZiggyBuster · 02/01/2013, 09:47 AM

Seems just a lil' high but a good starting point.

lol....he claims he has a use for it if I don't want it (seems stupid to me though)

DavidinGA · 02/02/2013, 09:50 AM

I just got an email from a guy who has a 180rr acrylic t e n e c o r e brand tank stand canopy and wants $700 (starting price). Anyone know anything about that brand?

It's drilled in the back so I'm already a little turned off since I want a tank that I can put flush against the wall...

I personally do not like acrylic tanks at all they scratch way too easily for my taste. I know they are clearer but I have no trouble seeing through a standard glass tank

DavidinGA · 02/04/2013, 12:11 PM

Alright, I'll pass on the acrylic...
