 |  Good Deal?
There is a used 90g salt aquarium available through my local classifieds for $300. I called the lady and she told me it come with about 50lbs of liverock, sump, skimmer and H2O. I would probably buy all new water once i bring it home (nothing besides LR in it. She said the LFS guy recommended she put real sw from the ocean in it (I always thought that was a really bad idea). Is it possible that LR can go bad? Is this a good deal? |

It depends on what kind of skimmer, how many gals is the sump, is the LR dead or alive. What about lights, the h2o means nothing, you need new water anyways. I bought my current 90 on ebay with a 29g sump for $127.00

Turns out it has fish too, I guess I overlooked that... I will find out tomorrow what kinds... I dont know what the lights are yet, but I'm pretty sure i'll be buying some T5s. Anyone know how many feet across you average 90g is? Would a 48in T5 cut it? | |
