Did I get a good deal?

I bought a 40 gallon breeder tank, no cracks, no scratches and no leaks. Filled up to check
A 20 Gallon long tank, no crack or leaks, will be used for refugium
A 6 gallon jbj nano, needs a ballast, needs to be cleaned, No cracks
A pretty good sized berlin protein skimmer, with turbo pump
A small hang on the back protein skimmer, with out pump
and 25ft of tubing, all for $120.
I need to wait a little while until I can upgrade my 29g to the 40g.
Did I get a good deal?

 

Id like to get a deal like that

 

probably its a decent deal even if the skimmers are garbage.

 

I haven't tried out the skimmers yet. I have to clean them up. I do know the turbo pump that came with it works, well did work until I droped it and messed up the impeller. I just ordered a new impeller for $22 with shipping. I couldn't have droped it at a better time. I was just getting ready to put it in the 40g breeder to drain it. I had just drained the 20g long. I had to bring out the buckets to drain it. I just need to find a ballast for the nano. They are like $50 new, but a new tank cost $120 shipped.

 

Sounds pretty good to me.

 

thanks guys. I thought it was a good deal. The guy was moving, so I picked out the things that I wanter and made him an offer, we agreed on $120. I got lucky, because I just ran into some money and that allowed me to go check out his stuff. Now I just need to come up with the money to buy about 20 more lbs of live rock, another bag of live sand, another light, an overflow box, another pump and the money to make a stand and canopy for it. I just hope I can make it look as good as some over you're 40g breeders.

 

Thats how I got my wife on board. Got her to agree to buy the cheap tank and then hit her with the expensive stuff. Too late to go back honey, lol.

 

sounds like a good deal to me

 

cant wait to see it set up,hows the ten gallon coming along?

 

I don't have a 10 gallon running. It's a 29 gallon bow front. I can't wait to start up the 40 gallon. I figure I need about another $400 To do everything I want to do with it. That is just stuff to get it running
