um, I buy as many used setups as i can, the more experience you get with SW setups the easier it is too. Basically just look for pics, you'll notice algae blooms, stuff like that, alot of if not all of them are not properly maintained (atleast around here) personally i try to pickup the 50-100g setups with LR and sand, if they have livestock I'll try to assess the health of the livestock and go from there, most of it I just resell or trade in to a LFS
