    Well I was in my lfs last night and they had the reef ready 75g up front with everything. Stand/light/tank/plumbing/glass top. Idk to me seems pretty damn good and trying to persuade wife to let me get it and sell my 65 tall. I'll use my same sump and equipment. If you guys have gone in and saw it tell me what you thought. 600 bucks seems pretty damn good and the fixture from reviews is pretty decent.

    its a ocean view reef ready tank, solar extreme t5ho fixture, plumbing, glass top, stand. heres a link.

    lol ya at the beach, cant go bigger than 75g since 2nd floor. my 65g is 36inch long, wanted extra foot and shorter. so its a good deal, im thinking ill sell my 65g with sundial t5's, stand/hood/plumbing and all for 250-300.

    I would keep what you have. That's not worth the money just to go 10g bigger & you won't break even for the price you will be able to sell our 65g for.

    I agree with Seano. I'd wait until you find something on craigslist for a much better deal or something.

    If you want it, go for it, the dimensions are much better then a 65 tall. However, you may want to piece your own "kit" together. The canopys you really don't need, nor would I recommend them, the stand is nice, but I've always just build my own, much cheaper and the light seems alright, but I would make sure it's a 6 bulb fixture. For the price they have that light for, you can get a nice Tek fixture pretty easily. If it was me, I would deem it a mediocre deal at best. I would be buying some things I wouldn't want and to me, that wouldn't make up the difference in price.

    I think it would be a good deal. I personely wouldnt want the glass top and would try to talk the price down without it. The ultimate decision is yours. If you think it is a good deal and you like it than go for it.

    Agree with Seano & Yamaha.....you can get a better deal on Craigslist. Just wait a bit or, I'd wave 450 bucks cash in front of the doods face.
