Fishyandrew45 Hobbyist Posts: 137 Kudos: 98 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Jul-2004	How good of a deal is this, 350$ USD for a 100 gallon acrylic complete setup (woodstand, heater, filter) all apparently in good shape. Let me know Thanks -Andrew

I would say make arrangements to see it before agreeing on a price. Especially if the acrylic is scratched at all. I also agree that often tank equipment is underrated on used tanks a lot, which is likely why they quit keeping fish . [hr width='40%']"Buttons are NOT Toys!"[/font]

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	Sounds like a great deal to me...just be sure that it doesn't leak!!! Put in say 5-6 inches of water in the totally empty tank and let it sit and see, then if it holds add maybe up to 10 inches... I know my 55 gallon that I filled some last night looked good till it had 6 inches and sat 10 minutesthen well, out with the python pumping water, once again out the doormy poor neighbors now know i'm insane Go get it, before it disappears, heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the pros to acrylic; the fact that all the seams are bonded together so that you really can't get a leak. At least, not very easily. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Yeah, with acrylic tanks it's actually easier to spring a leak right in the middle of the front pane than it is to get one on a bonded corner. It's a great deal. A new setup like that could cost more than twice that amount. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
