    So I need to do a lot of research before I actaully get this thing going but I seen this on craigslist and wondered if its a good deal

    20 gallon long sump. 1 baffle for refugium, and bubble trap with 3 panes. All baffles are glass. $30


    I dont know what any of it means yet but I could buy it figure it out as I go if its a good deal. What do ya think?

    Sounds pretty good. Usually you will see PetSmart (or maybe it's Petco) have a $1 per gallon sale on tanks up to 55 gallons once a year. So, a 20g tank all by itself would be $20. Baffles alone would be at least $10. Getting a tank with baffles (for the same price) with all the work done already, awesome.
