i was at a lfs and they had a black 55 long for 99usd.

it doesn't come with a stand(which i didn't want anyway) but i am not sure waht else it comes with. the tank is full of gravel and like aquarium fish stuff, hopefully they will come with it.

How old is the tank and how long has it been empty?

I agree- if it comes with the stuff in it. Otherwise, I would go BIGGER!

If it's the tank only, there are many many better deals out there.

Like everyone else said, if it's with all the stuff, it's good.

Ask the LFS what will you get for 99 USD & if you'll get all the free stuff, just go for it.

i think it doesn't come with a hood, and i will go and ask about it, but they have like 6 tanks lined up in the back wall(not a real large fish department) and it is the tank with gravel and some random boxes in it, i didn't really get too good of a look, but just trying to find a price range. the 55 long next to it was priced around 400, but i think it is with a hood/stand. or just a hood,

I'd say if it comes with the goodies go for it otherwise you can get a larger one for not a lot moreor I know of a place you could hereI know the 55s at walmart with all their goodies, new are about $150, so if that helps any *shrugs* your choice

It's a pretty good deal if it comes with a cover and gravel.

walmarts tanks are made with a really thin glass. I dont recommend them.
