75 gal Perfecto Aquarium with oak stand, 2 yrs old in excellent cond, purchased for $700. Asking $250 / best offer.

55 Gallon Fish Tank- $20.

What do you guys think of these deal?

Doesn't sound too bad. The 55 Gal is really cheap. Make sure it holds water. The 75 Gal doesn't sound too bad either........

The seventy-five gallon is a good deal as long as the tank and stand are both in good condition. Make sure you find out why they're being sold, when the tank last held water, and whether there had been problems with either (say, the tank had to be resealed).

Is the fifty-five gallon $20 just for the tank? That's pretty decent for a used tank, but there's always the chance that something will go wrong. New tanks from Perfecto and All Glass Aquariums include warranties, but it may not be in effect with this used tank. Again, if you are interested in buying it, ask about its history and make sure everything is in good shape. You don't want to buy a defective item.

Like SirBooks said, they are both great deals IF they are water tight, and haven't ever had problems with leakage I know I bought a 75 gallon with stand and they are both in good shape, only thing for me is that the tank needed a hood and filter type stuffs...

If they are in good condition and water tight, I'd say go for it, and if you don't want the 55 let me know where you arei'll take it *chunks her leaky 55 in the closet to be forgotten*

both deals are quite good...but make sure to ask those questions as suggested by sirbooks...good stuffs rarely come easily.

sounds good, if like stated above, it doesn't leak. but even if it does, that can be repaired.

Awesome! Now if I can just get these people to answer their danged phones I will get them, but I wanted to make sure you guys thought it was a good idea first Thanks!!!
By the way Heidi, I live in Indiana and Kentucky(it is a log story), but I definitely want those tanks!
