Thats not a bad price IMO.
Check it good for unsightly scratches though. Any significant scratches on any viewing side and I wouldn't take it... You could build a stand for under $50 (nothing fancy), or buy a nicer furniture type stand for $300 and up. Best wishes,

Well i've got two all glass brand tanks 72 and 75. 72 was just water tested and I like variety, so im'a try acrylic for salt water. Hmmm, seems about right for that pricing.
I read up on them and the benefits are nice....two of my buds have them as well for years and love em. So ima spend a few extra bucks and see how it works......
