    I'm sure others have gotten a better deal but this one is awesome. Tomorrow I'm picking up a two year old All-Glass 55 gallon tank, nice wood stand and canopy with lights, sump, skimmer, heaters, powerheads, return pump, sand, 90 lbs live rock, test kits and various other accessories for $100.00. Now that's a deal!!!! Lots of stuff online from the Nashville area where so many people have lost their tanks due to power outages from the recent floods.

    Thats beyond a deal. But it is sad that they had to give up the hobby or put it on hold for such a tragedy. Investing into an air bubbler is a definite must now.

    I cant complain. I got a 90 Gallon setup when I had it as a saltwater setup with tank, stand, canopy, lights, 100lbs of live rock and sand, sump, UV, protein skimmer and various extras for 200.

    I picked everything up today. Got home and noticed a sticker behind the trim of the tank said: Made in 2006, Tempered glass. I can not use the tank because it is tempered and cannot drill it. So I kept the 90 lbs of live rock that came with it and sold everything to my buddy for what I paid for it. At least I got 90 lbs of free live rock! I'll just buy a brand new tank. The stand would not work either.

    It is still a great deal with the free live rock.

    That sucks about it not working. But it's still a great deal just for that much rock!

    Yeh, if it were'nt for the rock it would suck. But I can't complain. I realized it was tempered glass and had it all resold within 10 minutes. Not to bad.

    Atleast you broke even. Would have suck to break even and have a broken tank.

    You did WAY better than breaking even. 90 Pounds of live rock would go for around 800 or 900 dollars at the LFSs in my area.
