Ugh someone talk me out of this. I found a 96x27 mw customs tank full stand and sump with goodies for 1g

Hello; Don't do it. Please don't do it. Just because you asked.

More seriously because I guess you want some reasons, unless the grand is throw away money you will never miss then be cautious. Also a used tank is a bit more of a risk and a grand is a grand. I am a tight wad and would want it for less.

Two hundred...great price.I bought mine brand new from a shop that has since burned down and never reopened and theirs was about the best price that I could find for a new setup at the time.

Heres it is. Then a db sent me a 500 for 1800

That 500!!

humm,, 1G to much for me, got my 180 full setup for 200, my 145 for 150, just to steep for some thing not brand new to me.

Dang those are killer deals. My 180 with stand I got for 500 and I gave 250 for just a 125 tank not long ago

 

[PYRU]

That 500!!

I know man!

The only bad thing about the 500, being glass you know how many guys that would take to move LOL. My old 7ft x 30" 265g took four of us and it was all we could do to get it down the stairs, it was 450lbs empty. I bet ya that 500g is 750lb or more.

Ohhhh I love my little Marge Simpson LOL...don't you think she sounds like her?? The other day, she was running after the cat saying 'What chu doin? Gimme kiss'

Lol, I do!!! Too cute!!! My dad has a clock that features 12 different songbirds. Every hour a different bird sings. You ought to get one and place it near her. In no time you'll have 12 birds in one!!!

(Lol at everyone thinking, omg that'd drive me crazy! People buy those things!

I can't imagine having to move that thing.
